Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, we can set up an equation

We can name the total number of hours x.

So the price for Shawns rentals would be as follows:

27.50x

and Darlas surf shop would be:

23.25x+17

Now, we put these into an equation.

We are trying to find for what number of x will the charges be equal, so we can make this equation:

27.50x=23.25x+17

Now we get the variables on one side, and the numerical values on the other.

We can do this by subtracting 23.25x from both sides. (What you do to one side you must do to the other to keep the equation equal.)

4.25x=17

Divide both sides by 4.25.

x=4

You would rent the equipment for 4 hours to make the charges equal.

Customers arrive at a restaurant according to a Poisson distribution at a rate of 20 customers per hour. The restaurant opens fo
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

0.087

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were 17 customers at 11:07, probability of having 20 customers in the restaurant at 11:12 am could be computed as:

= Probability of having 3 customers in that 5 minute period. For every minute period, the number of customers coming can be modeled as:

X₅ ~ Poisson (20 (5/60))

X₅ ~ Poisson (1.6667)

Formula for computing probabilities for Poisson is as follows:

P (X=ₓ) = ((<em>e</em>^(-λ)) λˣ)/ₓ!

P(X₅= 3) = ((<em>e</em>^(-λ)) λˣ)/ₓ! =  (e^-1.6667)((1.6667²)/3!)

P(X₅= 3) = (2.718^(-1.6667))((2.78)/6)

P(X₅= 3) = (2.718^(-1.6667))0.46

P(X₅= 3) = 0.1889×0.46

P(X₅= 3) = 0.086894

P(X₅= 3) = 0.087

Therefore, the probability of having 20 customers in the restaurant at 11:12 am given that there were 17 customers at 11:07 am is 0.087.

A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 15% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the ha
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...

... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left

... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation

... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024

Rounded to the nearest  hour, x = 4.

Find the Ratio of 250m to 1.5km
mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km= 1000m

1.5 km = 1 x 1000 + 500

1000 + 500

1500m

1500 m : 250 m

750 m : 125 m

150 m : 25 m

30 m : 5 m

6 m : 1m

how does the appearence of a histogram change when u use many small intervals then when you use a few large intervals
vampirchik [111]
If you're using a few larger intervals, then your histogram looks more stocky. If you imagine drawing one, it's because you're adding more values into the same category which can make the difference between two intervals much more noticeable. If you're using smaller intervals, however, you can much more accurately assess the difference between two different intervals. For that reason, the transition between one and another interval would look much more 'fluid'.
