Remark

Not many per square mile. Sounds like an ideal place to live.

Step One

Find the number of Square Miles.

Area = Height * Width

Area = 380 * 200

Area = 76,000 square miles.

Step Two

Find the Density

<u>Formula</u>

Density = Population / Square Miles

Population = 814,000 people

Square miles = 76000

Solve

Density = 814000/76000 = 10.7 people per square mile.

Remark

Isn't that incredible. It means if all the Area of South Dakota were given to the people living there, each family of 4 would get roughly 1/2 a square mile.

The time between telephone calls to a cable television service call center follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 1.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

0.52763 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less.

0.19285 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The time between telephone calls to a cable television service call center follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 1.2 minutes.

The distribution function can be written as:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\\text{where lambda is the parameter}\\\\\text{Mean} = \mu = \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.2 = \frac{1}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda = 0.84 \\f(x) = 0.84 e^{0.84 x}

The probability for exponential distribution is given as:

P( x \leq a) = 1 - e^{\frac{-a}{\mu}}\\\\P(a \leq x \leq b) = e^{\frac{-a}{\mu} -\frac{-b}{\mu}}

a) P( time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less)

P( x \leq 0.9)\\= 1 - e^{\frac{\frac{-54}{60}}{1.2}} = 0.52763

0.52763 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less.

b) P(time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds)

p( x > \frac{118.5}{60}) = P(x > 1.975)\\\\ = 1 - P(x \leq 1.975) \\\\= 1 -1+ e^{\frac{-1.975}{1.2}}\\\\= 0.19285

0.19285 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds.

Solve these two equations, x^2 + 4 = 0 and x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0. Write irrational numbers in simplest radical form. describe the str
dalvyx [7]
Well first x =1 so i multiplied 1 and 2 to the second power then added 4 and i got zero. next i done the same with x and 2 but after i minsed it from 6x whih is just 6 then added that from 1 and i got zero so in the ebd my whole answer i ended up with zero
