Question

The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ American Time Use Survey showed that the amount of time spent using a computer for leisure varied greatly by age. Individuals age 75 and over averaged 0.30 hour (18 minutes) per day using a computer for leisure. Individuals ages 15 to 19 spend 1.0 hour per day using a computer for leisure. If these times follow an exponential distribution, find the proportion of each group that spends:

1. Less than 14 minutes per day using a computer for leisure. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Age 75 & over

Ages 15-19

2. More than 2 hours. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Age 75 & over

Ages 15-19

3. Between 28 minutes and 84 minutes using a computer for leisure. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Age 75 & over

Ages 15-19

4. Find the 28th percentile. Seventy-two percent spend more than what amount of time? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Amount of time for people ages 75 and over

Amount of time for people ages 15-19

Explanation / Answer

POISSON 1 hr = 60 min a) 75 P(x120 ) = 0 c) P( 42 x 126) = P(x 126) - P( x 42) poissoncdf(24, 126) - poisssoncdf(24,42) = 1 - .9997 = .0003 etc d) X = poissinv(P,lambda) = poissinv(.28, 24) X = poissinv(P,lambda) = poissinv(.28, 78)
