Answer:

a) 50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

b) 24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}

Mean of 10 minutes:

This means that m = 10, \mu = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1

A. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less?

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034

50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

B. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes?

P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3)

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034

P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.1*3} = 0.2592

P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3) = 0.5034 - 0.2592 = 0.2442

24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

A test has thirty questions worth 100 points. The test consists of True/False questions worth 3 points each and multiple choice
Vika [28.1K]
So let's break this question down.
You need a bit of both, right? Well we need to calculate how many multiple choices we can do whilst having true/false questions, and not going over or under on points.

So, let's pick a random number, 5. So let's do 8x5, that equals 40.
ohmygoditsrightiwasseriouslyjustguessing
Ok so now we have our number, 5 multiple choice questions. 
The true/false questions should be easy, just do 3x20 and you get 60.

2. Consider the division operations below and choose whether the result can be rational,
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

All are rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

=1/3/3/5

=1/3×5/3

=5/9

5/9 is non-terminating and recurring number so it is rational.

2)

4/3√9/5

=4/3*3/5

=4/5

4/5 is a terminating number it is rational.

3)

2*√16/√4

=2*4/2

=4

4 is a natural/whole number it is also rational.
