Arrivals of customers at a checkout counter follow a Poisson distribution. It is known that, during a given 30-minute period, on

e customer arrived at the counter. Then the actual time of arrival follows a uniform distribution over the interval of (0, 30). Find the conditional probability that a customer arrives during the last 5 minutes of the 30-minute period if it is known that no one arrives during the first 10 minutes of the period.

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the time of arrival measured from the beginning of the 30-minute period.

Since the number of arrivals is Poisson, the time of the arrival is equally likely in any subinterval of time of a given size in the 30 minutes, and thus X has a uniform distribution in (0,30) and P(X > 25) = \int\limits^a_b {1/30} \, dx

where a = 30 and b = 25

Solving, we obtain P(X > 25) = 1/6

similarly, P(X>10) = 2/3 by substituting b for 10

Hence, for conditional probability we have

P(X>25 | X>10) = P(X>25) / P(X>10) = (1/6) / (2/3) = 1/4

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−1, 3) and (4, −7) ?
alexira [117]

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

in this problem we have

A(-1,3)\ B(4,-7)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-7-3}{4+1}

m=\frac{-10}{5}

m=-2

therefore

<u>the answer is the option A</u>

m=-2

HELP ASAP!!!!<br> Given (x, y ) = (5, 15). Find tan θ.
Darina [25.2K]
<span>tan θ is defined as the opposite/adjacent side to the angle in a triangle

in this case you have a triangle which forms from (0,0) to (5,0) and (5,15), with </span><span>θ at (0,0)

-> your x coordinate is the adjacent side, and y the opposite
</span>
<span>tan θ=opposite/adjacent=y/x=15/5=3</span>
