Question: The probability model below describes the number of repair calls that an appliance repair shop may receive? The probability model below describes the number of repair calls that an appliance repair shop may receive during one hour. Repair calls 0 1 2 3 Probability 0.1 0.3 0.4 0.2 a) How many calls should the shop expect per hour? Explain your answer.. b) What is the standard deviation?

Answer: The expected number of calls per hour is the mean value. It is obtained as 'sum of xp'. Here it is 0*0.1+1*0.3+2*0.4+3*0.2 = 1.7 (the symbol * indicates multiplication). Thus an average of 1.7 calls may be expected during one hour. The standard deviation will be E(x^2) - (E(x))^2. This can be calculated as 0^2*0.1 +1^2*0.3+2^2*0.4+3^2*0.2 - 1.7^2 = 0+0.3+4*0.4+9*0.2 - 1.7^2 =3.7 - 2,89 =0.81.

Question: I need free appliance repair industry numbers. I need to know how much money the industry has made.? the money made in the appliance repair industry. I need statisics.

Answer: Start searching the Internet - here's how: 1. Try the U.S. Chamber of Commerce - see if they have links to a trade or professional association focused on appliance repair/service/maintenance, then see if you can get stats from them. You might also see if Small Business Administration has this info - www.sba.gov. 2. Check U.S. Census Bureau for information on employment in trades - you should find appliance or home repair somewhere. Not perfect figures because it's hard to tell how they were compiled, but from it, you can make estimates on total dollars per head and therefore per industry. 3. Away from Internet, talk with your local reference librarian - they live for this stuff, and their help is FREE! Are you doing this for homework? The whole point of a question like this is to make you do the work of creating a correct, reasonable answer. There IS NO ACTUAL ANSWER FOR THIS - what I estimate will probably differ from what you estimate. It depends on what information you tap into and what assumptions you make - just state these all clearly.

Question: What is the hourly charge for in-home appliance repair? The appliance is a Whirpool electric range purchased in November of 2006. I live in the midwest-Indiana. Is a Whirpool tech more costly than a business which services several brands of appliances? Thanks for your replies.

Answer: Generally a Whirlpool tech is familiar with all brands. It just depends on who you get in to service your appliance. I've seen them charge anywhere from $80 per hour all the way up to $150.00 per hour. If you go with like Sear's they usually charge in between because they compete with the small home town appliance techs. :-)

Question: Appliance Repair Guys: How much of a labor charge would it take to replace a Microwave's Magnetron? I can't seem to get an answer from anybody...they all want to charge me a service call to have their guy come out and tell me what's wrong with the machine. I just want to know if it's going to be an expensive labor charge, or a cheap one! The part is covered by warranty, but if it's $250 in labor, then I'll just buy a new one! It's an Over-the-Range GE Profile, by the way....I installed it originally, so I could have it down and on the counter, or bring it in to the service center. Could I do the repair myself? Thanks in advance, Greg, aka tonevault

Answer: Dear Greg, Are you sure it's the Magnetron? How do you know it's not the fuse? If it turns on and runs then you could be right. Make sure it's not a $2 fuse. In that case I'll send you a $100 fuse from California - shipping free lol This link will tell you how to test it yourself. Good luck. Repaired my own with a fuse - twice LOL and I wanted a new one soooo bad. Darn thing lasted almost 25 years. Not a Guy but a smart repair Girl.

Question: Should you tip an appliance repair person? Our washing machine broke and service is covered under warranty. Would you tip the repair person? If so, how much? We are in a tough financial situation.

Answer: As a rule of thumb, and this is only in my house, I always tip anyone who comes in and repairs something for me. I understand that money is tight, so as an alternate, why not ask the technician, when they are working, if they would like a glass of water, soda or anything cold that you might have on hand. Most people appreciate this. Have a lovely rest of the day. Happiness!
