Answer:
option C
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=-0.08x(x^2-11x+18)
Factor the parenthesis and find out the x intercepts
(x^2-11x+18)
We find out two factors whose product is 18 and sum is -11
-9 and -2 gives us product 18
-9 -2 gives us sum -11
(x^2-11x+18) =(x-9)(x-2)
f(x)=-0.08x(x^2-11x+18)
f(x)= -0.08x(x-9)(x-2)
set f(x) =0 and solve for x
-0.08x(x-9)(x-2) =0
-0.08x =0, so x=0
x-9 = 0 , so x=9
x-2 =0 , so x=2
x intercepts are (0,0) (2,0) and (9,0)
x intercepts are not repeating
so the graph crosses x -axis at x=0, 2,9
option C is correct

Answer: 0.99822
Step-by-step explanation:
Our inter-arrival time follows Poisson distribution with parameter 14 which is in hour so first we have to calculate this in minutes as we have to calculate probability in minutes.
So converting 14 into minutes will give =0.233
Let X=inter-arrival time between two customers
and here = 0.233
Probability(X is less than or equal to 2 minutes) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)
Now the Poisson distribution has PDF =
So P(X = 0) = = 0.79215
P(X= 1) = = 0.18457
P(X=2) = = 0.02150
Now adding all three probability gives = 0.79215 +0.18457 + 0.02150=0.99822
