Answer: 4.8 ft

To answer this question you need to know how much shadow: actual height ratio. Flagpole is having 8 ft shadow with 20 ft actual height. The ratio should be= 8 ft: 20 ft= 0.4

Then multiply the ratio with the oak tree shadow. The equation would be:
0.4 x 12 ft= 4.8 ft

The population of a certain species of bird in a region after t years can be modeled by the function P(t)= 1620/1+1.15e^-0.042t
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is  \frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}

To find the maximum population, we need to set t towards infinity to get our answer.

So, we replace time with maximum (\infty). Let's check:

\frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042t}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042(\infty)}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{\infty}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+0}\\=\frac{1620}{1}\\=1620

The population of birds approaches 1620 as t goes towards infinity. So we can say the max population of the species is 1620.

Correct answer is A

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.
