Cancelling fractions is also called simplifying fractions. Basically, a fraction can be made simpler by dividing the top and bottom by the same number. Both the top and bottom must divide evenly for you to simplify the fraction.

How do you reduce fractions before multiplying?

The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. The second step is to multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the new fractions. The fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Got this from google, hope it's close to what you were looking for.

The number of messages arriving at a multiplexer is a Poisson random variable with mean 15 messages/second. Use the central limi
Mila [183]

Answer:

0.048 is the probability that more than 950 message arrive in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The number of messages arriving at a multiplexer is a Poisson random variable with mean 15 messages/second.

Let X be the number of messages arriving at a multiplexer.

Mean = 15

For poison distribution,

Mean = Variance = 15

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\text{Variance}} = \sqrt{15} = 3.872

From central limit theorem, we have:

z = \displaystyle\frac{x-n\mu}{\sigma\sqrt{n}}

where n is the sample size.

Here, n = 1 minute = 60 seconds

P(x > 950)

P( x > 950) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{950 - (60)(15)}{\sqrt{(15)(60)}}) = P(z > 1.667)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1.667)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 950) = 1 - 0.952 = 0.048

0.048 is the probability that more than 950 message arrive in one minute.

What is the perimeter of a square which has the same area as a circle with circumference of 4π?
Contact [7]
The circumference of a circle is given by: 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. Equating 4π, we have 2πr = 4π so the radius of the circle is: r = 4/2 = 2. Then, the area of the circle is given by πr ^ 2 = π * (2 ^ 2) = 4π.Since the square and the circle have the same area, then: Let L be the side of the square, we have:  L ^ 2 = 4π, clearing L = 2 * (π ^ (1/2))The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides:  P = L + L + L + L = 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π) ^ (1/2))  P = 8 * (π ^ (1/2))

How do I solve this?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:  A:  3x^2y^(3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as

(81*x^8*y^6)^(1/4)

Then multiply each exponent by (1/4):

81^(1/4)*x^(8(1/4))y^6(1/4))

81^(1/4) = 3

x^(8(1/4)) = x^2

y^6(1/4)) = y^(3/2)

The result:  3x^2y^(3/2)
