Cargo ships arrive at a loading dock at a rate of 2 per day. The dock has the capability of handling 3 arrivals per day. How man

y days per month (assume 30 days in a month) would you expect the dock being unable to handle all arriving ships? (Hint: first find the probability that more than 3 ships arrive and then use that probability to find the expected number of days in a month too many ships arrive.)

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the probability functions of each of the intervals to know the Probability number and then use it in the expected value.

P(x>3 cargo ships) = 1-P(x<=3)

P(x>3) = 1-P(x<=3)

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

P(x>3) = 1 - [\frac{e^{-2}2^0}{01}+\frac{e^{-2}2^1}{11}+\frac{e^{-2}2^2}{21}+\frac{e^{-3}2^3}{31}]

P(x>3) = 1- [0.1353(1+2+2+1.33)]

P(x>3) = 1-0.856

P(x>3) = 0.1431

Als n=30, expected number is

E(x) =30*P(x>3)

E(x) = 30*0.1431

E(x) = 4.293

I expect 4.293 or 4 days per month the block being unable to hanlde all arriving ships

What is the equation of the line connecting (1,5) and (4,14)?
german
To find the slope of the line:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(14-5)/(4-1)=(9)/(3)=3

Only one of your 4 possible answers has 3 as a slope. However, plugging in each point into the y=mx+b equation, the y-intercept consistently comes out as 2..
y=mx+b
14=3(4)+b  b=2
5=3(1)+b    b=2
y=3x+2
If there is a consistent, positive slope (from your question, this does not seem to have a quadratic as an option), 3x+5 is not even a viable solution because x=1 when the y-value is 5 (and thus no other x value {0} could have a y-value of 5). It seems as though you have a typo on your hands. Hopefully this helps?
