The number of boys wear glasses are 156 boys.

In this question,

Total number of pupils in the school = 910

Ratio of boys = 3/7

Then, number of boys = 910 × 3/7

⇒ 130 × 3

⇒ 390

Ratio of boys wear glasses = 2/5

Then, number of boys wear glasses = 390 × 2/5

⇒ 78 × 2

⇒ 156

Hence we can conclude that the number of boys wear glasses are 156 boys.

Messages arrive to a computer server according to a Poisson distribution with a mean rate of 11 per hour. Determine the length o

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The length of the interval during which no messages arrive is 90 seconds long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of messages arriving on a computer server in an hour.

The mean rate of the arrival of messages is, λ = 11/ hour.

The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 11.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-11}11^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,3....$

It is provided that in t hours the probability of receiving 0 messages is,

P (X = 0) = 0.76

Compute the value of t as follows:

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-11\times t}(11\times t)^{0}}{0!}\\0.76=e^{-11\times t}\\\ln(0.76)=-11\times t\\t=-\frac{\ln(0.76)}{11} \\=0.025\ hours\\\approx90\ seconds$

Thus, the length of the interval during which no messages arrive is 90 seconds long.
