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.

Each week carrie works 40 hours she spend 15% of her time at register
VLD [36.1K]
Please, share the goal of the problem.  If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?  

Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%.  Now find 85% of 40 hours:

0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.

Please note that I invented part of this problem.  Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.

Find the length of B to the nearest tenth using the Pythagorean theorem.​
fgiga [73]
The answer is 11.2

The Pythagorean Theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2

From the picture, we know one side, and the hypotenuse.

10^2+b^2=15^2
100+b^2=225
b^2=225
Sqrtb^2=sqrt225
b=11.18

Rounded to the nearest tenth it is 11.2
