(7 3 points) Consider a packet stream whereby packets arrive according to a Poisson process with rate 10 packets/s. If the inter

arrival time between any two successive packets is less than the transmission time of the first, the two packets are said to collide. Find the probability that a packet collides with either its predecessor or its successor assuming that all packets have a transmission time of 20 ms. How will your answer change if the packets have independent, exponentially distributed transmission times

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t1 be the arrival times between a packet and its immediate predecessor and t2 be the arrival times between a packet and successor. Let L1 be the lengths of the predecessor packet and L2 the length of the packet itself. Therefore:

P(no collision between packet and predecessor or successor) = P(t_1>L_1)P(t_2>L_2)

If P1 is the probability that there is no collision with preceding packets, hence:

P(no collision with other packets) = P_1*P(t_2>L_2)

λ = 10 packets/s, fixed packet length = 20 ms = 0.02 s. Hence:

P(t_1>L_1)=P(t_2>L_2)=e^{-\lambda *0.02}=e^{-10*0.02}=e^{-0.2}

P(no collision between packet and predecessor or successor) = P(t_1>L_1)P(t_2>L_2) = e^{-0.2}*e^{-0.2}=e^{-0.4}

P(packet collides with either its predecessor or its successor) = 1 - P(no collision between packet and predecessor or successor) = 1-e^{-0.4}=0.33

If the transmission times change, the answer would also change.

Type the correct answer in the box. Rewrite the quadratic equation in the form y = a(x − h)2 + k. y=5x^2-30x+95
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem wants you to rewrite the quadratic equation in the vertex form y = a(x - h)^2 + k

You are given a quadratic equation in standard form (ax^2 + bx = c).

To convert from standard form to vertex form, there are two ways but I will show you the easier(?) way.

Use the formula x = -b/2a to find the x-value (h) of the vertex. Note that the vertex in "vertex form" is (h, k) which is virtually the same as (x, y).

In y = 5x^2 - 30x + 95, a = 5, b = -30, and c = 95. Substitute a and b into the formula -b/2a.

  • -(-30) / 2(5)

Two negative make a positive, so -(-30) becomes 30 and 2 times 5 is 10. Now we have:

  • 30/10 which simplifies down to 3.

The x (h) value of the vertex is 3. To find the y-value, substitute 3 into the original standard form equation.

  • y = 5(3)^2 - 30(3) + 95
  • = 5(9) - (90) + 95
  • 45 - 90 + 95
  • 50

The y (k) value of the vertex is 50. Now we have: (h, k) ⇒ (3, 50).

Substitute the values for h and k into the vertex form.

  • y = a(x - 3)^2 + 50

We still need the a-value, and this is easy to find. You take the a value from the original standard for equation (remember: <u>a</u>x^2 + bx + c)

So our a-value is 5. Now we can substitute this value into the vertex form and complete the question.

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50

Sometimes data do not follow a normal distribution and are pulled toward the tails of the curve. When this occurs, it is referre
Airida [17]

Answer:

When the tail is pulled toward the right side, it is called a positively skewed distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

When the tail is pulled toward the right side, it is called a positively skewed distribution; when the tail is pulled toward the left side of the curve it is called a negatively skewed distribution (Watzlaf 2016, 361-362).

Generally the right side of a function is reserved for positive variables and the left side is used to represent negative variables, therefore when a function is pulled to the right is considered to be Positively skewed

How do you do this???????????????????

The volume of water that goes into the hose is the same as the volume of water that comes out the nozzle. This means the velocity is inversely proportional to the area. The area is proportional to the square of the diameter.

Taken together, these facts mean that if the diameter is divided by a factor of 3, the velocity is multiplied by a factor of 3^2 = 9.

Nozzle velocity = 3^2 * entering velocity
.. = 9 * (4 m/s)
Nozzle velocity = 36 m/s . . . . . . . . . corresponding to selection A
