Consider a taxi station where taxis and customers arrive in accordance with Poisson processes with respective rates of one and three per minute. A taxi will wait no matter how many other taxis are present. However, an arriving customer that does not find a taxi waiting leaves. Find the proportion of arriving customers that get taxis.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The proportion of arriving customers that get taxis is:

= 33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of arrival of taxis = 1 per minute

In one hour, the number of taxis arriving = 60 (60/1)

Rate of arrival of customers = 3 per minute

In one hour, the number of customers arriving = 180 (60 * 3)

The proportion of arriving customers that get taxis = 60/180

= 0.333

= 33%

b) Since the taxis wait until they get a customer, it means that they will likely transport one out of 3 customers who arrive.  Therefore, the proportion of arriving customers that get taxis is equal to 1/3 or 60/180, which is equal to 33%.

Answers

Answer:

3, 6, 4, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to multiply 2 by 2x and -9 and we obtain

4x -18 ≤ 6

now we have to move -18 on the right side of the minor or equal and change its sign

4x ≤ 6 + 18

now we have to added up 6 and 18

4x ≤ 24

At least we have to divide the the two members by 4

x ≤ 6

We have to find the numbers ≤ 6

so the answer is : 3, 6, 4, 5

Answer:

click on 3,6,4,5 are less than or equal to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2×3-9)= -6

2(2×6-9)= 6

2(2×4-9)= -2

2(2×5-9)= 2

2(2×7-9)= 10

Find the numerical limits for a D grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The numerical limits for a D grade are 58(lower limit) and 61(upper limit).

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 67.3 and a standard deviation of 7.3.

This means that [tex]\mu = 67.3, \sigma = 7.3[/tex]

D: Scores below the top 80% and above the bottom 9%

This means that lower bound is the 9th percentile and the upper bound is the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile.

9th percentile:

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.09. So X when Z = -1.34.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.34 = \frac{X - 67.3}{7.3}[/tex]

[tex]X - 67.3 = -1.34*7.3[/tex]

[tex]X = 57.52[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 58.

20th percentile:

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.2. So X when Z = -0.84

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X - 67.3}{7.3}[/tex]

[tex]X - 67.3 = -0.84*7.3[/tex]

[tex]X = 61.17[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 61.

The numerical limits for a D grade are 58(lower limit) and 61(upper limit).

A circular mirror has a diameter of 12 inches. And a circular frame that is 3 inches wide surrounds the mirror. What is the combined area, in square inches, of the circular mirror and the frame? *

Answers

Answer:

254.5 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter of mirror = 12 in.

radius of mirror = diameter/2 = 13 in. / 2 = 6 in.

frame width = 3 in.

radius if combined mirror and frame = 6 in. + 3 in. = 9 in.

A = (pi)(r^2)

A = 3.14159 * (9 in.)^2

A = 3.14159 * 81 in.^2

A = 254.5 in.^2

A snowstorm dropped three and two-fifths inches of snow. The next day one and four-fifths inches melted, how much snow was left?

Answers

Answer:

After the melting there were one and three fifths of snow left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a snowstorm dropped three and two-fifths inches of snow, and the next day one and four-fifths inches melted, the following calculation must be performed to determine how much snow was left:

2/5 = 0.40

4/5 = 0.80

3.40 - 1.80 = X

1.60 = X

0.60 = 3/5

Thus, after the melting there were one and three fifths of snow left.

y = 350x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the chart, we simply find the slope and then follow the slope-intercept equation.

Points on the chart: (0, 0) and (1.5, 525)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(525-0)/(1.5-0)

m=525/1.5

m = 350

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 350(x - 0)

y - 0 = 350x

y = 350x

Answer:

  no, when x is even, y will be an integer, not a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the coefficient of x is 1/2, so the x-term will be an integer only if x is a multiple of 2 (even). If the x-term is an integer, y will be an integer.

The given point has x even (-4), so we expect y to be an integer. The given point has y=1/2, not an integer, so the point will NOT be on the graph.
