Answer:

12  and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= length

If you draw a rectangle.  two sides would be the length x.  The other two sides would be (x-9).

(length)(width) = Area

(x)(x-9) = 36

x^2 - 9x = 36 Substitute in x and x-9 for the length and width

x^2 - 9x - 36 =0  Subtract 36 from both sides

(x-12)(x+3) = 0   We are looking for 2 number that add to -9 and mult. to -36

x-12=0 and x+3=0  Set both factors to 0 and solve

x = 12 and x =-3.  It does not make sense that a length could be -3 so we reject that answer.  If the length is 12, then the width is 3

Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport according to a Poisson process with rate a 5 8 per hour, so that the number o
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) P (X = 6) = 0.12214, P (X ≥ 6) = 0.8088, P (X ≥ 10) = 0.2834.

(b) The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12 and standard deviation is 3.464.

(c) P (X ≥ 20) = 0.5298 and P (X ≤ 10) = 0.0108.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> = number of aircraft arrive at a certain airport during 1-hour period.

The arrival rate is, <em>λ</em>t = 8 per hour.

(a)

For <em>t</em> = 1 the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 1=8

The probability distribution of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-8}(8)^{x}}{x!}

Compute the value of P (X = 6) as follows:

P(X=6)=\frac{e^{-8}(8)^{6}}{6!}\\=\frac{0.00034\times262144}{720}\\ =0.12214

Thus, the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.12214.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 6) as follows:

P(X\geq 6)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.8088.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 10) as follows:

P(X\geq 10)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 10 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.2834.

(b)

For <em>t</em> = 90 minutes = 1.5 hour, the value of <em>λ</em>, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 1.5=12

The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12.

The standard deviation is:

SD=\sqrt{\lambda t}=\sqrt{12}=3.464

The standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 3.464.

(c)

For <em>t</em> = 2.5 the value of <em>λ</em>, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 2.5=20

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 20) as follows:

P(X\geq 20)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.5298.

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 10) as follows:

P(X\leq 10)=\sum\limits^{10}_{x=0}(\frac{e^{-20}(20)^{x}}{x!})\\=0.01081\\\approx0.0108

Thus, the probability that at most 10 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.0108.

Convert the credit card rate to the APR. Ohio, 0.02192% daily rate. Please round your answer to the nearest percent. (zero decim
kogti [31]

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

APR means annual percentage rate.

To convert the daily rate to an APR, multiply the daily rate by the number of days in a year

365 days = 1 year

0.02192% x 365 = 8.0008%

To round off to the nearest percent, look at the first number after the decimal, if it is less than 5, add zero to the units term, If it is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the units term.

The tenth digit is 0, so the number would be rounded off to 8%

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of rectangle is length × breadth

length = 2 2/5 breadth = 1/3

2 2/5 × 1/3 = 12/15

reducing to the lowest term =4/5
