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.

Answer:

|A_y|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}12&7\\ \\17&-51\end{array}\right|

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use these Cramer's formulas to solve for x and y:

x=\dfrac{|A_x|}{|A|},\\ \\y=\dfrac{|A_y|}{|A|},

where

|A|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}12&-13\\ \\17&-22\end{array}\right|\\ \\ \\|A_x|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}7&-13\\ \\-51&-22\end{array}\right|\\ \\ \\|A_y|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}12&7\\ \\17&-51\end{array}\right|

So,

|A_y|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}12&7\\ \\17&-51\end{array}\right|

A package of cookies contains 6 cookies. Each package of cookies costs $1.49.​ A function, f(x), is written to represent the cos
Ronch [10]
You define a function f(x) which gives the cost of buying x packages of cookies. You are asked for the domain of the function. That is, what values can x take on? x is the number of packages bought.

It makes no sense to buy a negative number of packages. It also makes no sense to buy 1/2 a package or 3/4 of a package as the store won’t sell you a fraction of a package. Try going to the store and buying half a package of oreo cookies. I doubt you’ll get very far :)

So it makes sense to buy 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... boxes of cookies. These are whole numbers. So the domain is the set of whole numbers. You could also write the domain like this {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} making sure to use the curly brackets as those denote a set.

if w represents the width of a rectangle that is 28 inches long with a perimeter of 110 inches, the best algebraic representatio
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Width=27inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=w

Length=28 inches

Perimeter=110 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(length+width)

110=2(28+w)

110=56+2

110-56=2w

54=2w

Divide both sides by 2

54/2=2w/2

27=w

Therefore,

Width=27inches
