A service station has a pump that distributes diesel fuel to automobiles. The
station owner estimates that only about 4 cars use the diesel pump every two
hours. Assume the arrivals of diesel pump users are Poisson distributed.
a. what is the probability that three cars will arrive to use the diesel pump
during a 1- hour period?
b. supposes the owner needs to shut down the diesel pump for half an hour to
make repairs. However, the owner hates to lose any business. What is the
probability that no cars will arrive to use the diesel pump during a half hour
period?

Q.4 A Noida realty corporation has purchased land in the outskirts of greater Noida
to develop an integrated township. NRC has three alternatives, namely to
develop a township to house 10,000 families or to develop a golf course with
1000 luxury villas or to develop an integrated software complex with 6000
apartments and office space of 25000 sq. ft. The company foresees two states
of nature, namely a situation where there is a strong demand for the project or
a situation where there is a weak demand for the project. Following table
provides the details of the payoff for the various decision alternatives. There
is 65 % probability that there will be strong demand.
Construct decision tree to graphically represent the decision scenario and using
the expected value criterion. Select the alternative with the highest expected
payoff.
