Answers

Answer 1

The probabilities for exact 8 and less than 8 calls can be obtained as  0.1009 and 0.1785 respectively.

What is Poisson distribution?

Poisson distribution is applied for the case where the events occur in a specific period of time with constant rate.

The given case belongs to Poisson distribution,

It can be solved as follows,

(a) The probability of exactly 8 calls can be obtained as,

P(Exact 8 calls) =  [tex]e^{-\lambda} \lambda^{x}/x![/tex]

Where x = 8 and λ = 2.1 × 5 = 10.5.

Then, the probability is  obtained as,

⇒ e⁻⁸ × 10.5⁸/8!

⇒ 0.1009

It implies that if 100 calls are selected randomly for the interval of 5 minute, 10 calls can be expected.

(b)  The probability of less than 8 calls can be obtained as

P(Less than 8) = [tex]\sum_{x =1}^{7}e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}/ x![/tex]

⇒ P(Less than 8) = 0.1785

It implies that out of 100 randomly selected 5 minute calls, around 18 have less than 8 calls.

Hence, the required probabilities for the given case are 0.1009 and 0.1785 respectively.

8. Coffee Country City Council has decided to build a new road to connect Main Street
and Lincoln Lane (see the drawing). If construction costs $25,000 per mile, how much
will it cost?
Main Stream
3 mil
Lincoln Ln
1.5 miles-
NEW ROAD

Answers

Answer:

easy just pull put calculator and add 25,000 with  3 mil

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Cost 64951.91

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to assume that the new road and Lincoln Lane meat at right angles. If that is true we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Givens

a = 1.5 miles

b = ?

c = 3 miles

Cost per mile = 25000

Solution

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1.5^2 + b^2 = 3^2

2.25 + b^2 = 9

b^2 = 9 - 2.25

b^2 = 6.75

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(6.75)

b = 2.5981

Cost

1 mile costs 25000

2.5981 costs x

1/2.5981 = 25000 / x                 Cross Multiply

x = 2.5981 * 25000

x = 64951.91

Answer: 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve 9.30 x 10^7 to find the length of an astronomical unit.

10^7 = 10000000

9.30x10000000=93000000 miles

next, solve for the distances the sun is from Jupiter and Mars,

10^8 = 100000000

1.42x100000000=142000000 miles

4.84x100000000=484000000 miles

next, subtract the distances

484000000-142000000=342000000 miles

then, divide the sum by 93000000 to find the amount in astronomical units.

342000000/93000000=3.677419

finally, round to the nearest hundred

Find a30 of the arithmetic sequence:

−17,−7,3,13,...

Answers

Answer:

a₃₀ = 273

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 17 and d = a₂ - a₁ = - 7 - (- 17) = - 7 + 17 = 10 , then

a₃₀ = - 17 + (29 × 10) = - 17 + 290 = 273

A trapezoid has a height of 6 inches, an area of 120 inches, and one base measuring 14 inches. Find the length of the other base

Answers

Answer:

26 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](a + b) x h

a and b = 2 parallel sides

h = height

120 = 0.5(14 + b) x 6

120 = 3 x (14 +b)

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

120/3 = 14 + b

40 = 14 + b

Collect like terms

b = 40 - 14 = 26inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form, represented by the formula [tex]Ax+By=C[/tex], all the constants and coefficients of the terms are integers, the terms have no common factors (besides 1), and the number in place of A is positive. Knowing this, convert the equation to standard form like so:

C) $7,753.92

B) $8,610.85

D) $7,910.43

Answers

Answer:

C) $7,753.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $5,632

Rate=2%

n= 12

Time = 16 years

The expression for compound interest is

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

substitute

A= 5632(1+0.02/12)^12*16

A=5632(1+0.02/12)^12*16

A= 5632(1+0.00166)^12*16

A= 5632(1.00166)^12*16

A= 5632(1.00166)^192

A=5632*1.375

A=$7744

Hence the approximate amount is C) $7,753.92

find the x-intercepts, use the zero product property, r(r+7)=0

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = 0

  r = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no x in the equation, hence there are no x-intercepts.

__

If we assume you want the values of r that satisfy the equation, the zero product property tells you they will be the values that make the factors zero.

The factors are r and (r+7).

The factor r is zero when ...

  r = 0

The factor (r+7) is zero when ...

  r +7 = 0   ⇒   r = -7

The "x-intercepts" are r=0 and r=-7.

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, sum to 180°, so

14x + 6 + 118 = 180

14x + 124 = 180 ( subtract 124 from both sides )

14x = 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary

14x + 6 + 118 = 18014x + 124 = 18014x = 180 - 12414x = 56x = 56/4x = 4
