Cars arrive at the Wendy's drive-through at a rate of 1 car every 5 minutes between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. on Saturd

ay nights. Wendy's begins an advertising blitz that touts its late-night drive-through service and convenience. After one week of advertising, the Wendy's marketing department conducts a survey at 200 Wendy's to count the number of cars, X, that arrive at the drive-through between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 12:30 AM on Saturday night.
Question 1. Use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probability that exactly 8 cars will use the drive-through between 12:00 midnight and 12:30 AM on a Saturday night at Wendy's. Do the same for exactly 9 cars.

P(X = 8) (use 4 decimal places)
P(X = 9) (use 4 decimal places)

Question 2. At how many of the 200 restaurants in the survey would you expect exactly 8 customers to use the drive-through? exactly 9 customers?

expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 8 customers use the drive-through.
expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 9 customers use the drive-through.

Answer:

1) P(X = 8) = 0.1033

P(X = 9) = 0.0688

2) Expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 8 customers use the drive-through: 20.66

Expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 9 customers use the drive-through: 13.76

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

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

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

Question 1. Use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probability that exactly 8 cars will use the drive-through between 12:00 midnight and 12:30 AM on a Saturday night at Wendy's. Do the same for exactly 9 cars.

Cars arrive at the Wendy's drive-through at a rate of 1 car every 5 minutes between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. on Saturday nights. This means that during 30 minutes, 6 cars expected to arrive. So \mu = 6.

P(X = 8)

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

P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-6}*(6)^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1033

P(X = 9)

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

P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-6}*(6)^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.0688

Question 2. At how many of the 200 restaurants in the survey would you expect exactly 8 customers to use the drive-through? exactly 9 customers?

There is a 10.33 probability that 8 customers would use the drive through for each restaurant.

So of 200, the expected number is

E(X) = 200*0.1033 = 20.66

There is a 6.88 probability that 9 customers would use the drive through for each restaurant.

So of 200, the expected number is

E(X) = 200*0.0688 = 13.76

Answer:

  • \cfrac{991\sqrt{2} }{80}

Step-by-step explanation:

For a start simplify each of the roots:

  • \sqrt{72} =\sqrt{36*2} =6\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{50} =\sqrt{25*2} =5\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{128} =\sqrt{64*2} =8\sqrt{2}
  • \sqrt{98} =\sqrt{49*2} =7\sqrt{2}

Now simplify the expression in steps:

\sqrt{72}-\cfrac{48}{\sqrt{50} }  -\cfrac{45}{\sqrt{128} }  +2\sqrt{98} =

6\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{48}{5\sqrt{2} }  -\cfrac{45}{8\sqrt{2} }  +2*7\sqrt{2} =

6\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{48*8+45*5}{5*8\sqrt{2} }  +14\sqrt{2} =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609}{40\sqrt{2} } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609*\sqrt{2} }{40\sqrt{2} *\sqrt{2} } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609\sqrt{2} }{40*2 } =

20\sqrt{2}-\cfrac{609\sqrt{2} }{80 } =

\sqrt{2} (20-7\cfrac{49}{80} )=

\sqrt{2} *12\cfrac{31}{80} =

\cfrac{991\sqrt{2} }{80}

In one baseball season, Nolan hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Mrs. Davis hit and 6. Altogether, they hit 18
Alborosie

Answer:

Nolan hitted 8 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of home runs that Nolan hitted by N, and that Davis hitted by D.

So, we can write the following equations:

N = 2 * (D - 6)

N + D = 18

Now we can solve the system of equations, using the value of N from the first equation in the second one:

2 * (D - 6) + D = 18

2*D - 12 + D = 18

3*D = 30

D = 10

Now we find N:

N + D = 18

N + 10 = 18

N = 8

So we have that Nolan hitted 8 home runs.
