Question 1105924: The Downtown Parking Authority of Tampa, Florida, reported the following information for a sample of 225 customers on the number of hours cars are parked and the amount they are charged.
a-1. Convert the information on the number of hours parked to a probability distribution. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Hours / Probability
1 ?
2 ?
.?
.?
.?
8.?
a-2. Is this a discrete or a continuous probability distribution
()Discrete
()Continuous
b-1. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the number of hours parked. (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 3 decimal places.)
b-2. How long is a typical customer parked? (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the amount charged. (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 3 decimal places.) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Number of Hours Frequency Amount Charged
1 15 $2

3 50 9
4 45 13
5 20 14
6 16 16
7 5 18

a-2. Is this a discrete or a continuous probability distribution
()Discrete:: yes
()Continuous
b-1. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the number of hours parked. (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 3 decimal places.)
Multiply (# of hours) times (frequency)
Add those products
Divide by the sum of the frequencies to get the mean.
I'll leave the standard deviation to you.
b-2. How long is a typical customer parked? (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.)
That is the mean of b-1
c. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the amount charged. (Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 3 decimal places.)
Multiply (cost per hour) times (frequency)
Add those products
Divide by the sum of the frequencies.
