Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport according to a Poisson process with rate a 5 8 per hour, so that the number o

f arrivals during a time period of t hours is a Poisson rv with parameter m 5 8t. a. What is the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period? At least 6? At least 10? b. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period? c. What is the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period? That at most 10 arrive during this period?

Answer:

(a) P (X = 6) = 0.12214, P (X ≥ 6) = 0.8088, P (X ≥ 10) = 0.2834.

(b) The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12 and standard deviation is 3.464.

(c) P (X ≥ 20) = 0.5298 and P (X ≤ 10) = 0.0108.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> = number of aircraft arrive at a certain airport during 1-hour period.

The arrival rate is, <em>λ</em>t = 8 per hour.

(a)

For <em>t</em> = 1 the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 1=8

The probability distribution of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-8}(8)^{x}}{x!}

Compute the value of P (X = 6) as follows:

P(X=6)=\frac{e^{-8}(8)^{6}}{6!}\\=\frac{0.00034\times262144}{720}\\ =0.12214

Thus, the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.12214.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 6) as follows:

P(X\geq 6)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.8088.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 10) as follows:

P(X\geq 10)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 10 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.2834.

(b)

For <em>t</em> = 90 minutes = 1.5 hour, the value of <em>λ</em>, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 1.5=12

The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12.

The standard deviation is:

SD=\sqrt{\lambda t}=\sqrt{12}=3.464

The standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 3.464.

(c)

For <em>t</em> = 2.5 the value of <em>λ</em>, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

\lambda t=8\times 2.5=20

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 20) as follows:

P(X\geq 20)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.5298.

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 10) as follows:

P(X\leq 10)=\sum\limits^{10}_{x=0}(\frac{e^{-20}(20)^{x}}{x!})\\=0.01081\\\approx0.0108

Thus, the probability that at most 10 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.0108.

A cab company charges $0.80 per mile plus $2 for tolls. Melissa has at most $16 to spend on her cab fare. Write and solve an ine
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The maximum distance is 17.5 miles

No she can't make to the airport.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cab charges $0.8 per mile and $2 for tolls.

let the miles travelled by melissa be x.

The total charge is $(0.8*x+2)

Now given that she can spend a maximum of $16

so the inequality is

0.8*x+2\leq 16

0.8*x\leq 14

x\leq \frac{14}{0.8}

x\leq 17.5

Therefore the maximum distance she can travel is 17.5 miles

Since the distance to airport is 25 miles which is greater than 17.5 miles she cannot afford the cab.

Write an expression in simplest form for the perimeter of each figure.
Vlad [161]

Answer: P=5y+11x


Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

- By definition, the perimeter of the figure is the sum of the lenght of each side. Then, you must make the addition as following:

P=2.8y+2x+2.2y+5x+4x

Where P is the perimeter of the figure.

- Add the like terms, then, you obtain the following expression in simplest form:

P=5y+11x
