22. Interstate 81 through southwest Virginia is heavily traveled by long-distance truckers. To cut down on accidents, The Virginia State Patrol carries out random inspections of a trucks weight and the condition of its brakes. On Fridays, trucks approach the inspection station at a rate of one every 45 seconds following a Poisson process. The time required to check a truck’s weight and brakes follows an exponential distribution with an average inspection time of 5 minutes. The state troopers only pull over trucks when at least one of their three portable inspection units is available.

A researcher has examined the relationship between the number of hours driven by long-distance truckers in a 24-hour period (X) and reaction time in seconds (Y) at the end of the 24-hour period. The relationship is approximately linear and the correlation between the two measures is +0.43. In order to assess the usefulness of the independent variable as a predictor of reaction time, the research team determined that the regression line was given by the following: Y’ = -2.5 +...
