Answer:

x =30

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to evaluate the solution 4/5=20/(x-5)?

solution

the first step to take is to cross multiply

4/5=20/(x-5)

we have,

5 x 20 = 4 ( x -5)

100 = 4x - 20

combine the like terms

100+20 = 4x

120 = 4x

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

120/4 = 4x/4

30 = x

x =30

therefore the value of x in the expression 4/5=20/(x-5)? is 30

Answer:

The answer would be 129°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that AZC is a right angle so you would add the 90° ( which is equal to a right angle) to 39° to get your answer :)

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:y=4x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the coordinates in each of the above equations,

Then the left hand side of the equation should be equal to the right hand side of the equation.

By substituting the above coordinates in the second answer,

-1= 4(-3)+11

-1=-1

Airline passengers arrive randomly and independently at the passenger-screening facility at a major international airport. The m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Part a: The probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period is 0.000045.

Part b: The probability of three or fewer passengers arrive in a one-minute period is 0.0103.

Part c: The probability of no arrivals in a 15-second is 0.0821.

Part d: The probability of at least one arrival in a 15-second period is 0.9179.

Step-by-step explanation:

Airline passengers are arriving at an airport independently. The mean arrival rate is 10 passengers per minute. Consider the random variable X to represent the number of passengers arriving per minute. The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution. That is,

$X \sim {\rm{Poisson}}\left( {\lambda = 10} \right)$

The probability mass function of X can be written as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

Substitute the value of λ=10 in the formula as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{{\left( {10} \right)}^x}}}{{x!}}$

Part a:

The probability that there are no arrivals in one minute is calculated by substituting x = 0 in the formula as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = {e^{ - 10}}\\\\ = 0.000045\\\end{array}$

The probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period is 0.000045.

Part b:

The probability mass function of X can be written as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

The probability of the arrival of three or fewer passengers in one minute is calculated by substituting \lambda = 10λ=10 and x = 0,1,2,3x=0,1,2,3 in the formula as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X \le 3} \right) = \sum\limits_{x = 0}^3 {\frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}}} \\\\ = \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^1}}}{{1!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^2}}}{{2!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^3}}}{{3!}}\\\\ = 0.000045 + 0.00045 + 0.00227 + 0.00756\\\\ = 0.0103\\\end{array}$

The probability of three or fewer passengers arrive in a one-minute period is 0.0103.

Part c:

Consider the random variable Y to denote the passengers arriving in 15 seconds. This means that the random variable Y can be defined as $\frac{X}{4}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\E\left( Y \right) = E\left( {\frac{X}{4}} \right)\\\\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 10\\\\ = 2.5\\\end{array}$

That is,

$Y\sim {\rm{Poisson}}\left( {\lambda = 2.5} \right)$

So, the probability mass function of Y is,

$P\left( {Y = y} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^y}}}{{y!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

The probability that there are no arrivals in the 15-second period can be calculated by substituting the value of (λ=2.5) and y as 0 as:

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - 2.5}} \times {{2.5}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = {e^{ - 2.5}}\\\\ = 0.0821\\\end{array}$

The probability of no arrivals in a 15-second is 0.0821.

Part d:

The probability that there is at least one arrival in a 15-second period is calculated as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X \ge 1} \right) = 1 - P\left( {X < 1} \right)\\\\ = 1 - P\left( {X = 0} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \frac{{{e^{ - 2.5}} \times {{2.5}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = 1 - {e^{ - 2.5}}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\ = 1 - 0.082\\\\ = 0.9179\\\end{array}$

The probability of at least one arrival in a 15-second period is 0.9179.
