Answer to Question 1

The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses are H0 :  = 0, H1 :  > 0
d =1.34, n = 35, K = 4.
The cutoff points for the distribution of the Durbin-Watson test statistic are dL= 1.22 and dU = 1.73 (for  = 0.05 ) and dL= 1.03 and dU = 1.51 (for = 0.01 )
The decision rule is as follows:
Reject H0 if d < dL
Accept H0 if d > dU
Test is inconclusive if dL < d < dU
Since 1.22 < 1.34 < 1.73 and 1.03 < 1.34 < 1.51, Durbin-Watson test gives inconclusive results at both the 5 and 1 levels.

Answer to Question 2

Many models assume that arrivals are governed by a Poisson process. This means that:
1 ) Customers arrive one at a time, independently of each other and at random.
2 ) Past arrivals do not influence future arrivals; that is, the probability that a customer arrives at any point in time does not depend on when other customers arrived (sometimes we say that the system has no memory).
3 ) The probability of an arrival does not vary over time (the arrival rate is stationary).

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.
