The number of calls received by an office on Monday morning between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM has a mean of 5. Calculate the probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.735 = 73.5% probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during a time interval, 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.

The number of calls received by an office on Monday morning between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM has a mean of 5.

This means that [tex]\mu = 5[/tex]

Calculate the probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0067[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0337[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0842[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1404[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0067 + 0.0337 + 0.0842 + 0.1404 = 0.265[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.265 = 0.735[/tex]

0.735 = 73.5% probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.

What are the solutions to the equation?
x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 54 = 0

Answers

Answer:

x = -3  or x = 3  or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 54 = 0

There is no common factor to factor out. There are 4 terms. We try factoring by grouping. Factor a common factor out of the first two terms. Factor a common factor out of the last two terms.

x^2(x - 6) - 9(x - 6) = 0

x - 6 is a common factor, so we factor it out.

(x^2 - 9)(x - 6) = 0

x^2 - 9 is the difference of 2 squares, so we factor it.

(x + 3)(x - 3)(x - 6) = 0

x + 3 = 0  or  x - 3 = 0  or x - 6 = 0

x = -3  or x = 3  or x = 6

Answer:

x=6     x=3   x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 – 6x^2 – 9x + 54 = 0

Factor by grouping

x^3 – 6x^2     – 9x + 54 = 0

x^2(x-6)    -9(x-6 ) =0

Factor out x-6

(x-6)(x^2 -9) =0

Notice x^2 -9 is the difference of squares

(x-6)(x-3)(x+3) = 0

Using the zero product property

x-6 =0    x-3 =0   x+3 =0

x=6     x=3   x=-3

If the integer $152AB1$ is a perfect square, what is the sum of the digits of its square root?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13

Step-by-step explanation:

152AB1 is not a square in hexadecimal, so we assume A and B are supposed to represent single digits in decimal.

If A=B=0, √152001 ≈ 389.9

If A=B=9, √152991 ≈ 391.1

The least significant digit of 152AB1 being non-zero, we know it is not the square of 390. Hence, it must be the square of 391.

For 152AB1 to be a perfect square, we must have ...

  152AB1 = 391² = 152881

The sum of the digits of the square root is 3+9+1 = 13.

Suppose $1,000 was deposited into an account compounded quarterly that grew to $1,490 at rate of 6%. How long did it take for this to occur?

Answers

Answer:

A (1 + i)^n = 1490    time for amount to reach 1490

(1 + i)^n = 1.49    since A = $1000

n log (1 + .06/4) = log 1.49       take log of both sides at 1.5% per quarter

n = log (1.49) / log 1.015  = 26.78 periods or 6.695 years

(compare to 6.843 years compounded annually)

[tex]t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]\\t = ln(1,490.00/1,000.00) / ( 4 * [ln(1 + 0.06/4)] )\\t = ln(1,490.00/1,000.00) / ( 4 * [ln(1 + 0.015)] )\\t = 6.7 years[/tex]

It would take around 6 years 8 months to get $1,490 from $1,000 at 6%.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the line y = -x, the new point is at A'(-y, -x).

If a point A(x, y) is rotated counterclockwise by 270 degrees, the new point is at A'(y, -x).

Let us assume that triangle ABC has vertices at A(-6, -1), B(-3, -3) and C(-1, -2).

If it is moved 5 units to the right and 2 units up, the new point is at A'(-1, 1), B'(1, -1) and C'(3, 0). If it is reflected across the line y = -x, the vertices are at A"(-1, 1), B"(1, -1) and C"(0, -3). If it is then rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 270°, the new point is at A'"(-1, -1), B"'(1, 1), C"'(3, 0)

The probability I take a nap today is 4/5. The probability I will take a nap and a bubble bath today
is 1/5. What is the probability I will take a bubble bath today, given that I took a nap?

Answers

Use Bayes Theorem to compute that probability. I will denote bath as [tex]B[/tex] and nap as [tex]N[/tex], the probability will be denoted as [tex]P(B)[/tex] or [tex]P(N)[/tex].

By Bayes Theorem

[tex]P(B\mid N)=\frac{P(N\mid B)\cdot P(B)}{P(N)}[/tex]

Which reads,

"What is the probability of [tex]B[/tex] given [tex]N[/tex]".

We know that [tex]P(N\mid B)[/tex] is 1 because we already took a bath. So the formula simplifies to,

[tex]P(B\mid N)=\frac{P(B)}{P(N)}[/tex]

Now insert the data,

[tex]P(B\mid N)=\frac{1/5}{4/5}=\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

So the probability that you will take a bath is [tex]0.25[/tex] after you have taken a nap.

Hope this helps. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

56 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation.

[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x[/tex]

Why do we do this? We are told that she solved MORE than 60%, or [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex], and LESS than 65%, or [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex]. Therefore, if we set the TOTAL number of problems to x, we have an equation we can solve.

[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x\\[/tex]

Multiply all parts of the inequality by 20 to get rid of the denominators.

[tex]20*\frac{3}{5}x<20*35<20*\frac{13}{20}x\\ \\12x<700<13x[/tex]

Now we can solve TWO individual inequalities to isolate the x variable.

[tex]12x<700\\x<\frac{700}{12}\\x < 175/3\\x<58[/tex]

We can approximate 175/3 to about 58 (rounding down). We will sometimes round down when we have to deal with whole numbers.

The second inequality is as follows.

[tex]13x>700\\x>700/13\\x>53[/tex]

Therefore, we can combine the two inequalities.

[tex]53<x<58[/tex]

There were in between 53 and 58 questions. Since the number of questions must be a whole number, there can be 54, 55, 56, 57, OR 58. Why does 58 also work? When you plug 58 back into the original equation, you get that it STILL works. This is due to the fact that inaccuracies in computations allow you to round UP.

However, the last thing to keep in mind is that there are four sections with an equal number of questions. Meaning, the final answer has to be a multiple of four. The only multiple of 4 is 56; therefore, the final answer is 56.

  P = a +a +b = 2a +b

The length of the third side is then ...

  b = P -2a . . . . . . subtract 2a from both sides

Substituting the given expressions, we find ...

For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 40x+300 and the revenue for selling x items is 80x−0.5x2. The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit!



Part a: Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all of the items that it produces. (Hint: it is a quadratic polynomial.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost function, C = 40 x + 300

Revenue function, R = 80 x - 0.5 x^2

The profit function is

[tex]P = R - C\\\\P = 80 x - 0.5 x^2 - 40 x - 300\\\\P = - 0.5 x^2 + 40 x - 300\\\\\frac{dP}{dx} = - x + 40\\\\So, \frac{dP}{dx} = 0\\\\-x + 40 = 0 \\\\x = 40[/tex]

So, the profit is maximum when x = 40 .

Dodi bicycles 14mph with no wind. Against the wind, Dodi bikes 10mi in the same time it takes to bike 20mi with the wind. What is the speed of the wind?

Answers

Answer:

4.67 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed with no wind = 14 mph

Let wind speed = w mph

Thus;

Speed with wind = 14 + w

Speed against the wind = 14 - w

Now, we are told that against the wind he bikes 10 miles.

Thus, from; time = distance/speed, we have;

Time = 10/(14 - w)

Also, we are told he biked 20 miles with the wind. Thus;

Time = 20/(14 + w)

We are told the times he used in both cases are the same.

Thus;

10/(14 - w) = 20/(14 + w)

Divide both sides by 10 to get;

1/(14 - w) = 2/(14 + w)

Cross multiply to get:

1(14 + w) = 2(14 - w)

14 + w = 28 - 2w

w + 2w = 28 - 14

3w = 14

w = 14/3

w = 4.67 mph

12130                  0.002               24.26                 294274

-35                      0.998               -34.93                1222.55      

Now,

[tex]\Sigma x.P(x) = -10.67[/tex]

or,

[tex]\Sigma x^2.P(x) = 295496.35[/tex]

hence,

The mean will be:

(b)

According to the question,

n = 12

p = 0.125

q = 1 - p

  = 0.875

Now,

⇒ [tex]P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x} p^x q^{n-x}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ [tex]P(X \geq 1)=1-(\binom{12}{0} 0.125^0. 0.875^{12-0})[/tex]

⇒                  [tex]=1-(1 (0.125^0) (0.875^{12}))[/tex]

⇒                  [tex]=1-(1(1.0)(0.2014))[/tex]
