A container of one dozen large eggs was purchased at a local grocery store. Each egg was measured to determine its diameter (in millimeters) and weight (in grams). The results for the 12 eggs are given in the following table. Weight is the dependent variable. Calculate the r-sqr, correlation coefficient, and explain each value.

Index   1          2          3          4          5          6          7          8          9          10        11        12

Diameter (mm)            42.2     45.45   47.8     47.4     47.7     43.5     44.4     43.9     46.2     45.9     44.3     44.5

Weight (grams)           52.8     58.5     60.2     59        57.4     54.1     53.9     54.5     56.2     55.8     54.3     56.1

Expert Solution

the value of r indicates that the degree of positive linear relationship between weight and diameter is 0.875.

The r^2 indicates that about 76.57% of variability in weight is explained by the diameter.

8. Suppose 22% of the eggs sold at a local grocery store that are graded “large” are smaller than that and should be graded “medium.” A random sample of 15 eggs graded large is obtained.

Pete's Market is a small local grocery store with only one checkout counter. Assume that shoppers arrive at the checkout lane according to a Poisson probability distribution, with an arrival rate of 16 customers per hour. The checkout service times follow an exponential probability distribution, with a service rate of 20 customers per hour. The manager’s service goal is to limit the waiting time prior to beginning the checkout process to no more than five minutes. Also the manager of...
