Children arrive at a house to do Halloween trick-or- treating according to a Poisson process at the unlucky rate of 13/hour. What is the probability that the time between the 15th and 16th arrivals will be more than 4 minutes ? (Hint: Think exponential.)
a) e e-2 = 0.1353
b) e-13/15 = 0.4204
c) e-1 = 0.3679
d) 1-2-1 = 0.6321

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4204 probability, option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Which has the following solution:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

Children arrive at a house to do Halloween trick-or- treating according to a Poisson process at the unlucky rate of 13/hour

13 arrivals during an hour, which means that the mean time between arrivals, in minutes is of [tex]\mu = \frac{13}{60} = 0.2167[/tex]

What is the probability that the time between the 15th and 16th arrivals will be more than 4 minutes ?

This is P(X > 4). So

[tex]P(X > 4) = e^{-0.2167*4} = 0.4204[/tex]

So the correct answer is given by option b.

what much is 1/2 - 1/4

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 1/4.

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4.

2/4-1/4=1/4

1/4 + 1/4 is 1/2 , so think of it as 2+2 =4. If you subtract 4 from 2, you will get 2. So 1/2-1/4 is 1/4

Write 0.851 as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{851}{1000}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can simply multiply that number by 1000, and divide again by 1000 to get a base fraction:

[tex].851\\\\= \frac{1000}{1000} \times .851\\\\= \frac{1000 \times .851}{1000}\\\\= \frac{851}{1000}[/tex]

851 is a secondary prime, having only two factors, both of which are prime.  Those factors are 23 and 37, neither of which is a factor of 1000, so this is already in simplest form.

The Sureset Concrete Company produces concrete. Two ingredients in concrete are sand (costs $6 per ton) and gravel (costs $8 per ton). Sand and gravel together must make up exactly 75% of the weight of the concrete. Also, no more than 40% of the concrete can be sand and at least 30% of the concrete be gravel. Each day 2000 tons of concrete are produced. To minimize costs, how many tons of gravel and sand should be purchased each day

Answers

Answer:

The Sureset Concrete Company

The tons of gravel and sand that should be purchased each day are:

Sand = 800 tons

Gravel = 700 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ingredients for producing concrete = sand and gravel

Cost of sand per ton = $6

Cost of gravel per ton = $8

Sand and gravel = 75% of the concrete

Therefore 25% (100 - 75%) will be made up of cement and water

Tons of concrete produced each day = 2,000

Sand and gravel = 1,500 (2,000 * 75%)

Sand <= 40% of 2,000 = 800 tons

Gravel => 30% of 2,000 = 700 (1,500 - 800) tons

To minimize costs,  800 tons of gravel and 700 tons of sand should be purchased each day.

Total cost incurred daily for both sand and gravel = $10,400 (800 * $6 + 700 * $8)

a pie chart is divided into four sectors in fig. 12.42. Each sector represents a percentage of the whole. The two larger sectors are equal and each represents x%. What is the angle subtended by one of those larger sectors ?​

Answers

Answer:

Angle formed by the sector measuring x% will be 126°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, sum of all sectors formed in a circle is 100%.

By adding the measures of all the sectors,

x + x + 21 + 9 = 100

2x + 30 = 100

2x = 70

x = 35%

Now we know sum of all the central angles formed at the center of a circle = 360°

Therefore, angle formed by x% = 360° × 35%

                                                    = [tex]\frac{360\times 35}{100}[/tex]

                                                    = 126°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 132 boys and 14 adults. Since the question is only asking for the ratio of adults to boys, we don't have to worry about the number of girls in this question. From here, we see that the question is asking for the ratio of adults to boys, so we put it in that exact order. Our answer is 14 to 132.

You paid $6.99 for a shirt that was 70% of what was the original price of the shirt? ​

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use ratios to solve this:

$6.99/x=0.30/0.100 then cross multiply to get 0.3x=6.99

So, 6.99 divided by 0.3 = 23.3

Night students :

Day students:

T= (3.34 - 3.32) / √(0.02²/30) + (0.08²/30)

T = 0.02 / 0.0150554

Test statistic = 1.328

Answer:

[tex]241^{257}\ mod\ 12 =1[/tex]

[tex]7 * 20 = 140[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{700}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): 241^257 mod 12

To do this, we simply calculate [tex]241\ mod\ 12[/tex]

Because [tex]a\ mod\ b = a^n\ mod\ b[/tex]

The highest number less than or equal to 241 that is divisible by 12 is 240; So:

[tex]241\ mod\ 12 = 241- 240[/tex]

[tex]241\ mod\ 12 =1[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]241^{257}\ mod\ 12 =1[/tex]

Solving (b): 7 * 20

[tex]7 * 20 = 140[/tex]

Solving (c): Multiplicative inverse of 7 in 719

The position of 7 in 719 is 700

So, the required inverse is 1/700 ---- i.e. we simply divide 1 by the number

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]a=21, b=17, c=10[/tex], we have:

Step-by-step explanation:

Partindo do pressuposto de que você pode ter coberturas duplas e triplas do mesmo item, o cálculo é relativamente simples. Para calcular as combinações possíveis; deve-se multiplicar as coberturas disponíveis pelo número total de coberturas permitidas. Este cálculo é semelhante a como olhamos para diferentes sistemas de contagem de base. Normalmente contamos com decimais (base 10), portanto, o número de combinações, se usar 3 dígitos, seria calculado por 10 x 10 x 10.

10x10 = 100

100x10 = 1000 combinações (0 a 999)

Sua pergunta sobre coberturas de pizza é a mesma, mas assumindo um sistema de numeração de base 12, então 12x12x12 ou 12³

Portanto, 1.728 combinações incluindo 0 (sem coberturas?) E também incluindo 12 ocasiões em que todas as 3 coberturas seriam iguais. Se esses cenários de pessoas forem restritos de modo que você só possa ter coberturas duplas máximas, etc., então essas combinações devem ser removidas (subtraídas do total de combinações permitidas).
