Answer:

62.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a Poisson process:

  • Events are independent
  • The average rate is constant
  • Events cannot happen simultaneously

Using a Poisson distribution, the probability that the wait time T will exceed a certain time t is:

P(T > t) = e^(-events/time × t)

The average wait time per customer is 5 minutes, so the expected wait time for 3 customers is 15 minutes.

Given that t = 7 min and event/time = 1 / 15 min:

P(T > 7) = e^(-1/15 × 7)

P(T > 7) = 0.627

There is a 62.7% probability that your wait time will exceed 7 minutes.

Answer:

The probability is 100% because 3*5 is 15, since 5 is the average time and 3 customers are already there.

A rectangular swimming pool that is 10 ft wide by 16 ft long is surrounded by a cement sidewalk of uniform width. If the area of
Alchen [17]
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.

The value of x is <span>5 feet. </span>

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

translation, rotation

Solve the following system by graphing x + y - 6= 0 x- y = 0
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

(3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y - 6= 0

x- y = 0

Add the two equations together

x + y - 6= 0

x- y = 0

-------------------

2x - 6 = 0

Add 6 to each side

2x-6+6 = 0

2x = 6

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

Now find y

x-y = 0

3 - y = 0

y = 3
