Answer:27

Step-by-step explanation:first you need 40 x 12 for the area for your gravel

so 480 divided by 18 = about 27

The arrivals of clients at a service firm in Santa Clara is a random variable from Poisson distribution with rate 2 arrivals per

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1.76% probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

The arrivals of clients at a service firm in Santa Clara is a random variable from Poisson distribution with rate 2 arrivals per hour.

This means that $\mu = 2$

What is the probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

Either 5 or less clients arrive, or more than 5 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1$

We want P(X > 5). So

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)$

In which

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2707$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2707$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1804$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0902$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0361$

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1353 + 0.2702 + 0.2702 + 0.1804 + 0.0902 + 0.0361 = 0.9824$

$P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9824 = 0.0176$

1.76% probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

BRAINLIEST AND POINTS!!!<br><br> PLEASE EXPLAIN

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Option C. $\$23,134.61$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$A=\frac{P[(1+r)^{n} -1]}{r(1+r)^{n}}$

we have

$P=\$400$

$r=0.075/12=0.00625$

$n=6*12=72\ months$

substitute in the formula

$A=\frac{400[(1+0.00625)^{72} -1]}{0.00625(1+0.00625)^{72}}\\ \\A=\frac{226.446972}{0.009788}\\ \\A=\$23,134.61$

Which statements about the cylinder are true? Select two

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units

The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units

The height of the cylinder is 4x units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

A cylinder with a base diameter of x units has a volume of πx3 cubic units.

Which statements about the cylinder are true? Check all that apply.

(1) The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units.

(2) The radius of the cylinder is 2x units.

(3) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units.

(4) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/2)πx2 square units.

(5) The height of the cylinder is 2x units.

(6) The height of the cylinder is 4x units

we know that

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

we have

$r=\frac{x}{2}\ units$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$V=\pi x^{3}\ units^3$

substitute the given values in the formula of volume

$\pi x^3=\pi (\frac{x}{2})^{2}h$

solve for h

simplify

$x=(\frac{1}{4})h$

$h=4x\ units$

<u>Verify each statement</u>

(1) The radius of the cylinder is (1/2)x units

The statement is true

see the explanation

(2) The radius of the cylinder is 2x units.

The statement is false

Because, the radius of the cylinder is x/2 units

(3) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/4)πx2 square units

The statement is true

Because, the area of the cylinder's base is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

$r=\frac{x}{2}\ units$

substitute

$A=\pi (\frac{x}{2})^{2}$

$A=\frac{\pi x^2}{4}\ units^2$

(4) The area of the cylinder’s base is (1/2)πx2 square units.

The statement is false

Because, the area of the cylinder's base is equal to

$A=\frac{\pi x^2}{4}\ units^2$

see the part (3)

(5) The height of the cylinder is 2x units.

The statement is false

Because, the height of the cylinder is 4x units (see the explanation)

(6) The height of the cylinder is 4x units

The statement is true

see the explanation
