Answer:

The probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes  is 0.4786.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the waiting time to be seated at a restaurant during the evening.

The average waiting time is, <em>β</em> = 19 minutes.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with parameter \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{19}.

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

Compute the value of the event (<em>X</em> > 14) as follows:

P(X>14)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{14} {\lambda e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx=\lambda \int\limits^{\infty}_{14} {e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx\\=\lambda |\frac{e^{-\lambda x}}{-\lambda}|^{\infty}_{14}=e^{-\frac{1}{19} \times14}-0\\=0.4786

Thus, the probability that the wait time is greater than 14 minutes  is 0.4786.

In the figure below, j || m. Find the values of x and y.
Sedaia [141]

X and 73 are same-side interior angles, which are supplementary (they add up to 180).

x + 73 = 180

x = 107

X and (6y - 79) are vertical angles, which are congruent (have the same measure/value.

x = 6y - 79

107 = 6y - 79

6y = 186

y = 31

Hope this helps!

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constan
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a = 6m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

Required

Determine the acceleration when mass = 10kg, provided force is constant;

Represent mass with m and acceleration with a

The question says there's an inverse variation between acceleration and mass; This is represented as thus;

a\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{m}

Convert variation to equality

a = \frac{F}{m}; Where F is the constant of variation (Force)

Make F the subject of formula;

F = ma

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

F = 4 * 15

F = 60N

When mass = 10kg; Substitute 60 for Force

F = ma

60 = 10 * a

60 = 10a

Divide both sides by 10

\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10a}{10}

a = 6m/s^2

<em>Hence, the acceleration is </em>a = 6m/s^2<em />

2(3 + 4x) = 8x + 6<br> How Many solutions?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3 + 4x) = 8x + 6\\6 + 8x = 8x+6\\8x-8x=6-6\\0=0

For any value of x, both equations are equal to each other because both sides are identical
