A local grocery store chain has a sushi stand. That sushi stand makes samples for store customers to entice customers to purchas

e sushi while shopping. The number of customers that pass by the stand and sample sushi per hour is Poisson distributed with a mean of 14. What is the probability that the inter-arrival time between two customers is less than or equal to 2 minutes

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  \frac{14}{60}=0.233

Let X=inter-arrival time between two customers

and here \lambda = 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 = \frac{\exp ^{-\lambda }\times \lambda ^{X}}{X!}

So P(X = 0) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{0}}{0!} = 0.79215

P(X= 1) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{1}}{1!} = 0.18457

P(X=2) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{2}}{2!} = 0.02150

Now adding all three probability gives =  0.79215 +0.18457 + 0.02150=0.99822

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: The answer is "experiment."

Step-by-step explanation:

This procedure is being used in order to validate a hypothesis, particularly in a research study. In the situation above, you have to validate whether a new reading program can increase reading comprehension or not.

The experiment consists of independent, dependent, and controlled variables. The independent variables are the ones being changed by the researcher, while the dependent variables tell whether the changes in the independent variable is significant. The controlled variables are the ones that are constant.

The dependent variable above is reading comprehension, while the new reading program is the independent variable. Examples of controlled variables are the ages of the participants. The age directly affects the reading comprehension, thus it has to be considered.

The radius of a circle is 10. Using π, which equation expresses the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the circle's dia
aleksley [76]

The ratio of circumference to diameter is independent of the radius.



Defining C=circumference, r=radius, D=diameter =  2r



Circumference = C = 2 π r = π D  


=> 


ratio of circumference / diameter


= C/D = π

What is the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5?
Naily [24]

Answer:

x^4

Explanation:

Breakdown x^4 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · <u>x</u>

Breakdown x^5 = <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> ·  <u>x</u> · <u>x</u> · x

Here the common factor is x · x · x · x = x^4

Hence, the greatest common factor of x^4 and x^5 is x^4.
