Answer:
The probability distribution of the number of customers that enter the store on a given day is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate a parameter for the given day, we have to calculate what is the average arrival rate for the day.
This can be done with the data given:
1) From 10 to 12, 8 arrival/hour: 16 expected arrivals in this period
2) From 12 to 2, 8 to 12 arrival/hour (average: 10 arrivals): 20 expected arrivals in this period.
3) From 2 to 5, from 10 to 4 arrival/hour (average: 7 arrivals): 21 expected arrivals in this period.
The total expected arrivals in a day are: 16+20+21=57 arrivals/day.
Then, the probability distribution of the number of customers that enter the store on a given day is:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
subtract 4 from both sides
3/7x= -1/2 - 4
3/7x= -4 1/2
divide both sides by 3/7
x= -4 1/2 ÷ 3/7
convert -4 1/2 to improper fraction
x= (-4*1+1)/2 ÷ 3/7
x= -9/2 ÷ 3/7
multiply by reciprocal of 3/7
x= -9/2 * 7/3
multiply numerators & denominators
x= (-9*7)/(2*3)
x= -63/6
x= -10 3/6
simplify 3/6 by 3
x= -10 1/2
CHECK:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
3/7(-63/6) + 4= -1/2
(3*-63)/(7*6) + 4= -1/2
-189/42 + 4= -1/2
-4 1/2 + 4= -1/2
-1/2= -1/2
ANSWER: x= -63/6 or -10 1/2
Hope this helps! :)
Note that 1lb=16oz and set up multiplication/division to cancel out units that you do not need for the final answer. (Units cancel just like numbers, this is fundamental to dimensional analysis)
64oz($1.50/16oz)=$6.00
Answer:
All your steps are correct. Well done!
You get all of the numbers and turn them too zeros except the first one
