Tri-Cities Bank has a single drive-in teller window. On Friday mornings, customers arrive at the drive-in window randomly, follo

wing a Poisson distribution at an average rate of 30 per hour.a. How many customers arrive per minute, on average?b. How many customers would you expect to arrive in a 10-minute interval?c. Use equation 13.1 to determine the probability of exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 arrivals in a 10-minute interval. (You can verify your answers using the POISSON( ) function in Excel.)d. What is the probability of more than three arrivals occurring in a 10-minute interval?

Answer:

a) 0.5 per minutes

b) 5 arrivals expected in 10 minutes

c) P ( x = 0 ) = 0.00673 , P ( x = 1 ) =  0.03368 , P ( x = 2 ) = 0.08422 ,P ( x = 3 ) = 0.14037                  

d)  P ( X >= 4 ) = 0.735                

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The number of customer arriving at window is modeled by Poisson distribution. The distribution is given by:

                         P(x) = ( λ^x ) (e^-λ) / x!            x = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ......

- Average rate λ = 30 / hr

Find:

a. How many customers arrive per minute, on average?

b. How many customers would you expect to arrive in a 10-minute interval?c. Use equation 13.1 to determine the probability of exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 arrivals in a 10-minute interval.

d. What is the probability of more than three arrivals occurring in a 10-minute interval?

Solution:

- The average rate λ in number of customers that arrive in a minute is given by:

                              λ1 = 30 / 60 = 0.5 arrival per minutes

- The average number of customer that are expected to arrive in 10-minutes window is:

                              λ2 = 10*λ1 = 10*0.5 = 5 arrivals expected in 10 minutes

- The probability of exactly 0,1 , 2 , and 3 arrivals in 10 minute windows:

                   P ( x = 0 ) = ( 5^0 ) (e^-5) / 0! = 0.00673  

                   P ( x = 1 ) = ( 5^1 ) (e^-5) / 1! = 0.03368

                   P ( x = 2 ) = ( 5^2 ) (e^-5) / 2! = 0.08422

                   P ( x = 3 ) = ( 5^3 ) (e^-5) / 3! = 0.14037

- The probability of more than three arrivals occuring in 10-minute interval is:

                  P ( X >= 4 ) = 1 - P ( X =< 3 )

                  P ( X >= 4 ) = 1 - [ P ( x = 0 ) + P ( x = 1 ) +  P ( x = 2 ) + P ( x = 3 ) ]

                  P ( X >= 4 ) = 1 - [ 0.00673 + 0.03368 + 0.08422 + 0.14037 ]

                  P ( X >= 4 ) = 1 - [ 0.265 ]

                  P ( X >= 4 ) = 0.735

R560 invested at 8% p.a. simple interest for 3 years​
alexdok [17]

Answer:

R 694.4

Explanation:

simple interest = \sf{\dfrac{PRT}{100} → \sf \dfrac{560*8*3}{100} → R 134.4

where p refers to principal, r refers to rate, t refers to time.

total money:

invested money + simple interest

R 134.4 + R 560 → R 694.4

What is the discriminant of f(x)=2x^2+8x+16 <br>and the number and type of roots​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2 imaginary roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminate is the portion of the quadratic equation under the square root

D = b^2 - 4ac

D = 8^2 - 4(2)(16)

D = 64 - 128

D = -64

Since the discriminate is negative the square root will be imaginary

and there will be 2 of them

2 imaginary roots

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 10 is approximately 3.16, which is greater than pi which is equal to about 3.14, which shows that C is correct as well. The square root of 11 is 3.31, and the square root of 5 added to the square root of 6 is equal to about 3.69, which is greater than the square root of 11.
