A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 5 trays and

standard deviation of 1 tray. If the owner wants a service level of at least 95%, how many trays should he prepare (rounded to the nearest whole tray)? Assume doughnuts have no salvage value after the day is complete. 6 5 4 7 unable to determine with the above information.

Answer:

4 trays should he prepared, if the owner wants a service level of at least 95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5

Standard Deviation, σ = 1

We are given that the distribution of demand score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(X > x) = 0.95

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.95  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.95  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1})=0.05  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5}{1} = -1.645\\x = 3.355 \approx 4  

Hence,  4 trays should he prepared, if the owner wants a service level of at least 95%.

Probability The average time between incoming calls at a switchboard is 3 minutes.if a call has just come in,the probability tha
Stels [109]

Answer:

a) 0.1535

b) 0.4866

c) 0.8111

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the next call come within the next t minutes is:

  • p(t) = 1 -e ^{- t/3}

According to this model,

a) the probability that a call in comes within 1/2 minutes is p(t) = 1 -e ^{- (1/2)/3} =0.1535

b) the probability that a call in comes within 2 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-2/3} =0.4866

c) the probability that a call in comes within 5 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-5/3} =0.8111

(no links or files) Solve this equation using the quadratic formula. This question should be solved both ways. (1) Quadratic For
meriva
Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3

Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2

What's the probability of pulling two red cards in a row from a deck of cards?​
monitta

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.

If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.

We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.

1/2×25/51=25/102

The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.

Have a wonderful day! :D
