Answer:
(a) The expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card is 4.
(b) The probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout is 0.0215.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card
The probability that a guest paying by American Express credit card is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Geometric distribution since it is defined as the number of trials before the first success.
The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

(a)
The expected value of a Geometric distribution is:

Compute the expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card as follows:



Thus, the expected number of guests until the next one pays by American Express credit card is 4.
(b)
Compute the probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout as follows:


Thus, the probability that the first guest to use an American Express is within the first 10 to checkout is 0.0215.
Answer: x=6, y=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ΔBCD and ΔTUS are congruent triangles, we can set the sides equal to each other.
y=2y-20 [subtract both sides by 2y]
-y=-20 [divide both sides by -1]
y=20
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3x+32=9x-4 [add both sides by 4, and subtract both sides by 3x]
36=6x [divide both sides by 6]
x=6
Answer:
375+215 is greater than or equal to p
Step-by-step explanation:
quick maths
So to start 3*8=24 reams of paper
24 divided by 5=4.8
4.8*6=28.8 weeks.
It's up to you if you want to do 28 weeks or 29 weeks
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
just round up to nearest number and 7/8 is 0.87 so it coloser to 1 than half and the others are way to big.
