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

Give the equation of the circle centered at the origin and passing through the point (0,-8)
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is x ² + y² = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Find the length of the radius

C (0, 0)

P (0, -8)

d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2}+ (y2 - y1)^{2}  }

d = \sqrt{(0- 0)^{2}+ (-8 - 0)^{2}  }

d = \sqrt{64}

d = 8

2.- Find the equation of the circle

    (x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2} \\

h = 0   and k = 0

    (x - 0)^{2} + (y - 0)^{2} = 8^{2}

            x² + y² = 64

Answer:

2.

A. (P+h)(x)

2x/x+4 (x-1) + x/x-1 (x+4)

2x^2-1/x^2-4

+

X^2+4/x^2-4

= 3x^2+3/x^2-4

B. (F-g)(x)

X^2-7x+6-x - 6

= x^2 -8x

C. (Fg)(x)

(X^2-7x+6)(x-6)

= x^3-13x^2+48x-36

D. (H/p)(x)

X/x-1 / 2x/x+4

X/x-1 / x+4/2x

= X^2+4x/2x^2-2x

3.

A. (F+g)(3)

X^2+1 + x-4

3^2+1 + 3-4

10 -1

= 9

B. (f-g)(0)

X^2+1 - x-4

0+1 -0-4

1-4

= -3

C. (Fg)(-k)

(X^2+1) (x-4)

(-k^2+1) (-k-4)

K^3+4k^2-k-4

D. (F/g)(k-2)

X^2+1 /x-4

K-2^2+1 / k-2 -2

= K^2-4k+5 / k-4
