A county office gets an average of 10 calls in a 2 hour time period. What is the probability that the county office will get more than 0 calls in a 15 minute period? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.713 = 71.3% probability that the county office will get more than 0 calls in a 15 minute period.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during a time-period, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

A county office gets an average of 10 calls in a 2 hour time period.

10 calls each 120 minutes, which means that the mean for n minutes is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{10n}{120} = \frac{n}{12}[/tex]

15 minute period:

This means that [tex]n = 15, \mu = \frac{15}{12} = 1.25[/tex]

What is the probability that the county office will get more than 0 calls in a 15 minute period?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 0) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.25}*1.25^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.287[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X > 0) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.287 = 0.713[/tex]

0.713 = 71.3% probability that the county office will get more than 0 calls in a 15 minute period.

Answers

Answer:

21/8 yds or 2 5/8 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

First turn 1 3/4 yards into an improper fraction so you can add it to 7/8 yards.

1 3/4 as an improper fraction is 7/4 yds

7/4 yds = 14/8 yds

14/8 yds + 7/8 yds = 21/8 yds

A motel has a policy of booking as many as 150 guests in a building that holds 140. Past studies indicate that only 85% of booked guests show up for their room. Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Answers

Answer:

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex], if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex].

150 guests booked:

This means that [tex]n = 150[/tex]

85% of booked guests show up for their room.

This means that [tex]p = 0.85[/tex]

Is the normal approximation suitable:

[tex]np = 150(0.85) = 127.5[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 150(0.15) = 22.5[/tex]

Both greater than 10, so yes.

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 150*0.85 = 127.5[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{150*0.85*0.15} = 4.3732[/tex]

Find the probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

More than 140 show up, which, using continuity correction, is [tex]P(X > 140 + 0.5) = P(X > 140.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 140.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{140.5 - 127.5}{4.3732}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.97[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.97[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9985.

1 - 0.9985 = 0.0015.

0.0015 = 0.15% probability that if the motel books 150 guests, not enough seats will be available.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is proportional to the square of the linear scale factor. We can use this to write the proportion ...

Given $f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}$, what is the smallest possible integer value for $x$ such that $f(x)$ has a real number value? Please show steps. Thank you!

(I rewrote the question without the symbols, they are the same question)

Given f(x) = {2x-6}/{x-3}, what is the smallest possible integer value for x such that f(x) has a real number value? Thank you!​

Answers

Answer:   x = 4

===========================================================

Explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}[/tex]

which is the same as writing f(x) = ( sqrt(2x-6) )/(x-3)

The key for now is the square root term. Specifically, the stuff underneath. This stuff is called the radicand.

Recall that the radicand cannot be negative, or else the square root stuff will result in a complex number. Eg: [tex]\sqrt{-4} = 0+2i[/tex]

The question is basically asking: what is the smallest x such that [tex]\sqrt{2x-6}[/tex] is a real number?

Well if we made 2x-6 as small as possible, ie set it equal to 0, then we can find the answer

[tex]2x-6 = 0\\\\2x = 6\\\\x = 6/2\\\\x = 3\\\\[/tex]

I set the radicand equal to 0 because that's as small as the radicand can get (otherwise, we're dipping into negative territory).

So 2x-6 set equal to 0 leads to x = 3.

This means x = 3 produces the smallest radicand (zero) and therefore, it is the smallest allowed x value for that square root term.

But wait, if we tried x = 3 in f(x), then we get...

[tex]f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2x-6}}{x-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{2*3-6}}{3-3}\\\\f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{0}}{0}\\\\[/tex]

which isn't good. We cannot have 0 in the denominator. Dividing by zero is not allowed. The result is undefined. It doesn't even lead to a complex number. So we'll need to bump x = 3 up to x = 4. You should find that x = 4 doesn't make the denominator 0.

----------------

In short, we found that x = 3 makes the square root as small as possible while staying a real number, but it causes a division by zero error with f(x) overall. So we bump up to x = 4 instead.

a) Let w = the width of the rectangle. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.


b) Now solve your equation
* cm.
The width of the rectangle must be. Cm

Answers

Part (a)

Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

--------------

Explanation:

L = 2.4 = length

W = unknown width

The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)

We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

========================================================

Part (b)

Answer:   w = 4.7

--------------

Explanation:

We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)

2(2.4+w) = 14.2

2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2

4.8+2w = 14.2

2w = 14.2-4.8

2w = 9.4

w = 9.4/2

w = 4.7

The width must be 4.7 cm.

An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation as it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

It emerges from the process of solving the problem as a equation.

2.I begin like:

The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero:

for example:

x² − 4=0

x²= 4

doing square root on both side

x = ±2

Thus, the graph will have vertical asymptotes at x = 2 and x = −2.

To find the horizontal asymptote, the degree of the numerator is one and the degree of the denominator is two.

In a class of 40 statistics majors, each one constructs a 90% confidence interval for the unknown probability p of a weighted coin landing heads. About how many of the 40 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p? About how many will miss it?

Answers

Answer:

36 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p, and 4 will miss it.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b. x% of confidence intervals capture the unknown parameter.

About how many of the 40 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p?

90% of them will capture, so:

0.9*40 = 36

0.1*40 = 4

36 intervals will capture the value of the unknown parameter p, and 4 will miss it.

The statement that f(x) must be a polynomial with degree 3 is not necessarily true based on the given roots.

What is a function?

A function has an input and an output.

A function can be one-to-one or onto one.

It simply indicated the relationships between the input and the output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

Since one of the roots is complex (2i), it follows that the coefficients of f(x) must be complex as well, and therefore f(x) must be a polynomial with complex coefficients.

However, it is possible for f(x) to have a higher degree than 3.

For example,

The polynomial (x + 7)(x - 2i)(x + 2i)(x - 7) has degree 4 and has the given roots of -7, 2i, and 7. Therefore, f(x) could be a polynomial with degree 4 or higher.
