Answer:

The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6. If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles: (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.

Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.

The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid. Its base is 4. Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10. Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.

Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.

which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48. We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.

At a specific point on a highway, vehicles arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 12 second intervals, a

morpeh [17]

Answer: a) 4.6798, and b) 19.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

P(n) = $\dfrac{15}{120}=0.125$

As we know the poisson process, we get that

$P(n)=\dfrac{(\lambda t)^n\times e^{-\lambda t}}{n!}\\\\P(n=0)=0.125=\dfrac{(\lambda \times 14)^0\times e^{-14\lambda}}{0!}\\\\0.125=e^{-14\lambda}\\\\\ln 0.125=-14\lambda\\\\-2.079=-14\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{2.079}{14}\\\\0.1485=\lambda$

So, for exactly one car would be

P(n=1) is given by

$=\dfrac{(0.1485\times 14)^1\times e^{-0.1485\times 14}}{1!}\\\\=0.2599$

Hence, our required probability is 0.2599.

a. Approximate the number of these intervals in which exactly one car arrives

Number of these intervals in which exactly one car arrives is given by

$0.2599\times 18=4.6798$

We will find the traffic flow q such that

$P(0)=e^{\frac{-qt}{3600}}\\\\0.125=e^{\frac{-18q}{3600}}\\\\0.125=e^{-0.005q}\\\\\ln 0.125=-0.005q\\\\-2.079=-0.005q\\\\q=\dfrac{-2.079}{-0.005}=415.88\ veh/hr$
