We can say that exchanging one couple's ticket for an individual's ticket would increase the money in the cash box from 200 to 202 and it would result in an even number of couples tickets sold.

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

Let the number of tickets sold to the individuals = s

Let the number of tickets sold to the couples = c

According to the question,

s + c = 46   (  Equation 1)

Since each individual's ticket is $6, the total amount of money made by selling tickets to individuals is 6s.

Similarly, since each ticket sold to couples is $8, the total amount of money made by selling tickets to couples is 8c.

So,

6 s + 8 c = 200        ( Equation 2)

On solving both the equations, we get

c = 38 and s = 8

Therefore, 8 tickets were sold to individuals and 38 tickets were sold to the couples.

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 1/0.41/0
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a) P(t>3)=0.30

b) P(t>10|t>9)=0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a repair time modeled as an exponentially random variable, with mean 1/0.4=2.5 hours.

The parameter λ of the exponential distribution is the inverse of the mean, so its λ=0.4 h^-1.

The probabity that a repair time exceeds k hours can be written as:

P(t>k)=e^{-\lambda t }=e^{-0.4t}

(a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 3 hours?

P(t>3)=e^{-0.4*3}=e^{-1.2}= 0.30

(b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours?

The exponential distribution has a memoryless property, in which the probabilities of future events are not dependant of past events.

In this case, the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours is equal to the probability that a repair takes at least (10-9)=1 hour.

P(t>10|t>9)=P(t>1)

P(k>1)=e^{-0.4*1}=0.67
