calls arrive at lynn ann fish's hotel switchboard at a rate of 2.0 per minute. the average time to handle each is 10 seconds. there is only one switchboard operator at the current time. the poisson and negative exponential distributions appear to be relevant in this situation. what is the probability, as a percent, that the operator is busy

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that the operator is busy is 33.33% if the call rate is 2 per minute and average time to handle is 10 seconds.

Given rate of calls 2 per minute and average time to handle a call is 10 seconds.

We have to find the probability that the operator is busy.

Probability is the chance of happening an event among all the events possible. The value of probability lies between 0 and 1.

Probability= number of items/ total items

If rate is 2 per minute then the customers handled in 1 hour=2*60=120

The average time to handle a call=10 seconds.

Therefore customers to be handled in 1 hour=360 (10*6*60)

Probability that the operator is busy is as under:

Probability=λ/μ

=120/360

=1/3

=1/3*100

=33.33%

Hence the probability that the operator is busy is 33.33%.

Solve the system and enter the smallest x-coordinate first

Answers

Answer:
(2,-3)(6,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to get the equation: x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
Solve:
x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
x^2 = 8x-12
x^2-8x+12 = 0 (we now have a polynomial)
(x-6)(x-2) = 0 (set each equation to equal 0 and solve)
x-6 = 0 --> x=6
x-2 = 0 --> x=2
To get the Y coordinates:
y=2(2)-7 --> y = -3
y = 2(6)-7 --> y = 5

Check work:
5 = 6^2-6(6)+5 --> 5 = 36-36 +5 --> 5=5
-3 = 2^2-6(2)+5 --> -3 = 4-12+5 --> -3=-3

Emiliano necesita cortar dos cuerdas,una de 18m y la otra de 12 m en trozos iguales,,de manera que estos sean los mas grandes posibles ¿Cuanto debe medir cada trozo y cuantos sacara de cada cuerda?

Answers

Por descomposición factorial y el concepto de máximo común divisor, se tiene que cada trozo de cuerda debe medir 6 metros y que se debe preparar cinco trozos.

¿Cómo cortar cuerdas en segmentos de máxima e igual longitud?

En este problema debemos determinar la cantidad de segmentos de cuerda de igual y máxima longitud, la cual puede ser hallado por descomposición factorial a los números asociados a las longitudes:

18 = 2 × 3²

12 = 2² × 3

La máxima longitud posible se obtiene mediante el máximo común divisor, es decir, se encuentra que la máxima longitud es 2 × 3 = 6 metros. Por último, la cantidad de trozos iguales es:

x = (18 m + 12 m)/6 m

x = 30 m/6 m

x = 5

100000/222
solve with proper steps and find the remainder​

Answers

Answer: 450 rest 100

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we need to calculate this division 100.000/222 and get the rest.

Well, 222 enters in 1000 by 4 times.

222 times 4 is 888

So, 100.000/222 = 4

       888-

We subtract 888 from 1000.

That will be 112

100.000/222 = 4

888

  112

Now, get the next 0 down next to 112

100.000/222 = 4

888

 1120

222 get in 1120 by 5 times.

5 times 222 = 1110

divide 1120 by 1110

100.000/222 = 45

888

 1120

 1110

That will be 10

100.000/222 = 45

888

 1120

 ==10

Get the next zero down

100.000/222 = 45

888

 1120

 ==100

222 gets in 100 by 0 times.

100.000/222 = 450

888

 1120

 ==100

         0

100 subtracted by 0 is 100

100.000/222 = 450

888

 1120

 ==100

         0

     100

The rest is 100 and the result is 450

Now, you can do the verification:

222 time 450 is 99,900.

If you add the rest to 99,900 it will be 100.000. So the result is good

Answers

121.3 grams of caffeine is remaining in her blood

How to determine the amount of caffeine?

The amount of caffeine is calculated as:

A(t) = a(1 - r)^t

This gives

A(t) = 175 * (1 - 11.5%)^t

At 3 hours, we have:

A(3) = 175 * (1 - 11.5%)^3

Answers

The distance apart of the two guy wire is 187.7 metres

How to find the distance apart of the two wires?

The distance apart of the two wires can be found using trigonometric ratios.

Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

Therefore,

tan 13 = 27 / x

x = 27 / tan 13 = 27 / 0.23086819112 = 117.391304348

tan 21 = 27 / y

y = 27 / tan 21

y = 70.338144115

Therefore,

distance apart of the guy wire = 117.391304348 + 70.338144115 = 187.728144115 = 187.7 metres

Given sample mean of $52.63 and standard deviation of $22.01.

We have to construct  the confidence interval of 80% for the mean repair cost for the washers.

μ=52.63

σ=22.01

n=4

First we have to find the value of z for the confidence level of 80% from z table and which is 1.29.

Margin of error is the difference between the calculated values and real values.

Margin of error=z*σ/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]

σ is standard deviation

n is sample size

z is z value for the confidence level

Margin of error=1.29*22.01/[tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex]
