How many scaling stations should be open during a given hour to:
-Minimize the wait time for trucks-Minimize excess idle time for workers
![Page 3: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Poisson Distribution
Discrete data: random variable values are determined by counting
We know lambda What happens in one segment has no effect on the
other segments No value for q, cannot use Binomial Distribution
![Page 4: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Lambda: λ = 12Time: t = 1 hour
Manager observed that on average, 12 trucks (λ=12) arrived between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM (t=1).
λt = 12/1 = 12
![Page 5: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Probability of only needing 1 scale station:
P(x≤6)(Each scale station can scale 6 trucks per hour)
P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)
![Page 6: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
P(x) = (λt^x) (e^-λt) / x!
Where “e” represents error. e=2.718
P(3) = (12^3) (e^-12) / 3!P(3) = 0.0018
*The probability of 3 trucks arriving is 0.18%
![Page 7: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
P(1 scale station)P(0<x≤6) = 0.0458
P(2 scale stations)P(6<x≤12) = 0.5303
P(3 scale stations)P(12<x≤18) = 0.3866
P(4 scale stations)P(18<x≤24) = 0.0367

Distribution
![Page 9: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Decision
3 scale stations
-Why hire workers if there is only 3.73% chance that they will have to work.
-3.73% chance that trucks will have to wait.
![Page 10: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
American Oil Company
Uses electronic sensing equipment
Developed a new enhancement for equipment
Enhancement requires 800 capacitors that must operate within within ±0.5 microns from the standard of 12 microns
![Page 11: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The supplier can only provide capacitors that operate according to a normal distribution with a mean of 12 microns and a standard deviation of 1.
How many capacitors should American Oil purchase in order to fulfill the enhancement with a 98% chance that the order will contain 800 usable capacitors?
![Page 12: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Suppliers can provide:
µ = 12σ = 1According to Normal
Distribution
Enhancement requires:
11.5 ≤ µ ≤ 12.5
![Page 13: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Acceptable Capacitors from the supplier that fit the
Enhancement
![Page 14: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Finding the Area
Z = x-µ σ
Z = 11.5-12 = -0.5 1
Z = 12.5-12 = 0.5 1
![Page 15: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Look up the Z-values in the standard distribution table.*Z0.5 = 0.1915
*Z-0.5 = 0.1915
0.1915 + 0.1915 = 0.383 38.3% of the suppliers capacitors will fit the enhancement61.7% will not fit and be rejected
![Page 16: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
0.383 (x) = 800
X = 2088.77, or 2089 capacitors
0.98 (2089) = 2047.22, or 2048 capacitors
![Page 17: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Decision
American Oil Company should order 2048 capacitors in order to fulfill their equipment enhancement with a 98% chance that they will get 800 capacitors that fall into their ±0.5 micron from the standard of 12 micron needs.

Truck Safety Inspection
Idaho department of Law Enforcement started new truck inspection program.
Objective is to reduce the number of trucks with safety defects operating in Idaho.
Jane Lund wants to estimate the number of defective trucks currently operating.
Need to find a statistically sampling plan.
![Page 19: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sampling Plan
Random sampling will be used as the practical sampling plan.
8 weigh stations will be used to obtain the sample according to the problem.
We are using 30 to represent the sample size (n) According to the central limit theorem, the bigger the sample
size, the better approximation to the normal distribution
![Page 20: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Process
Calculate the sample proportions Sample proportion - p = x/n
Calculate the mean of sample proportion Sum of the sample proportion / 8 scale stationsThis value is the unbiased estimator for population proportion (π)
![Page 21: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Process
When you calculate π you can then find the standard error
total number of trucks from all 8 weigh stations (8)(30) =240 240 = n
![Page 22: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Is it normally distributed
In order for the unbiased estimator to be considered normally distributed it must Satisfy
nπ>5 n(1-π)>5
![Page 23: 5.3 Boise Cascade Corporation 6.3 American Oil Company 7.2 Truck Safety Inspection](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/568160ce550346895dd0021c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conclusion
If Jane Lund wants to see the change her new program had caused, she will repeat the entire process and compare to the first time she did it.
Keep the same sample size, stations and method. If her program was a success then π before > π
after.
