two telephone calls come into a switchboard at times that are uniformly distributed in a fixed one-hour period. assume that the

calls are made independently of one another. what is the probability that a) both calls are made in the first half hour? b) the calls are made within five minutes of each other?

We wil assume a variable x to be the total number of calls received by the switchboard.

The question also says to assume that the calls were made independently.

Given:

Calls are independent.

Calls are uniformly distributed over a 1 hour period.

Ans (a). The calls are distributed uniformly over 1 hour, hence: (0, 1).

So we have,

f1(x1) = 1

f2(x2) = 1

X1 and X2 are considered to be independent of each other. Hence,

f(x1,x2) = f1 (x1) f2 (x2)

f(x1,x2) = 1 (1)

f(x1,x2) = 1

Thus,

P(X1 <= 0.5; X2 <= 0.5) = ∫0.50 ∫0.50 f(x1,x2) dx2 dx1

= ∫^0.5 0 ∫^0.5 0 (1) dx2 dx1

= ∫^0.5 0 (x2^0.5 0) dx1

= ∫^0.5 0 (0.5 - 0) dx1

= 0.5 ∫^0.5 0 dx1

= 0.5 (x1^0.5 0)

= 0.5 (0.5 - 0)

= 0.25

Therefore, the probability that the calls were received within the first 30 minutes or first half hour is 0.25.

Ans (b). Steps 1 and 2 are the same as the above answer.

Probability = [∫^11/12 0 ∫^x1 + 1/12 x1 1dx2 dx1] + [∫^1 1/12 ∫^x1 x1-1/12 1dx2 dx1

= [∫^11/12 0 (x2 ^x1+1/12 x1 dx1] + [∫^1 1/12 (x2 ^x1 x1-1/12 dx1)]

= [∫^11/12 0 (x1 + 1/12 -x1) dx1] + [∫^1 1/12 (x1 - x1 + 1/12) dx1]

= [(1 + x1/12 - 1) ^11/12 0] + [( 1 - 1 + x1/12) ^1 1/12]

= 11/144 + 11/144

= 0.1528

Therefore, the probability that the calls were received within five minutes of each other is 0.15.

You used an app to hire a repair worker to do a series of small repairs around your office. The worker charges $54 for the first
Vesnalui [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The repair took:

                    2 hours and 45  minutes.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The worker charges $54 for the first hour, and $15.50 for each additional 15 minutes.

Let he does a job of additional 15 minutes for: x times.

This means that:

Cost for additional minutes will be: $ 15.50x

Hence, his total cost will be equal to: 54+15.50x

i.e.

54+15.50x=162.50

i.e.

15.50x=162.50-54

i.e.

15.50x=108.50

i.e.

x=108.50/15.50

x=7

Hence, the work took a total of:

60+15×7=165 minutes

which is: 2 hours and 45 minutes.
