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

To steam rice, Paul uses m cups of water for every p
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m cups of water = p cups of rice

Required

Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice

<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>

<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>

<em />

This is calculated using the following expression;

m = k * p

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{m}{p}

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;

k becomes:

k = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Equate both expressions of k; to give

\frac{m}{p} = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Multiply both sides by p + 2

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =(p + 2) *  \frac{x}{p + 2}

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =x

x = (p + 2) * \frac{m}{p}

x =  \frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}<em></em>
