Customers experiencing technical difficulty with their Internet cable hook-up may call an 800 number for technical support. It takes the technician between 30 seconds to 10 minutes to resolve the problem. The distribution of this support time follows the uniform distribution.

a. What are the values for a and b in minutes?

b. What is the mean time to resolve the problem? What is the standard deviation of the time?

c. What fraction of the problems takes more than 5 minutes to resolve?

d. Suppose we wish to find the middle 50% of the problem solving times. What are the endpoints of these two times?

1. Look up “heat engines” on the Internet. There will be a lot of technical discussion meant for engineers. Can you find any novel heat engines? Look up “nitinol engine.” Can you find heat engines that claim to work on small temperature differences? Do they discuss the poor efficiency that you get with small temperature differences (from the efficiency equation)?

Data sent over the internet are broken up into electronic packets that may take a variety of different paths to reach their destination, where the original data is reassembled. Suppose the nodes in the following graph represent a series of computer hubs on the internet and the arcs represent the connections between them. Suppose the values on the arcs represent the number of packets per minute (in 1,000,000s) that can be transmitted over each arc (i.e. the bandwidth of that...
