Answer:

  x = -8, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The argument of the absolute value function can be positive or negative to give the same result.

  |-8| = 8   ⇒   x = -8

  |8| = 8   ⇒   x = 8

For the answer to the question above,
First, let's make the equation,
(1/6) + (1/x) = 1/(3/2) = (2/3) = (4/6)
then
1/x = (3/6) = (1/2)
so the answer would be
x = 2

Customers arrive at a restaurant according to a Poisson distribution at a rate of 20 customers per hour. The restaurant opens fo
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

0.087

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were 17 customers at 11:07, probability of having 20 customers in the restaurant at 11:12 am could be computed as:

= Probability of having 3 customers in that 5 minute period. For every minute period, the number of customers coming can be modeled as:

X₅ ~ Poisson (20 (5/60))

X₅ ~ Poisson (1.6667)

Formula for computing probabilities for Poisson is as follows:

P (X=ₓ) = ((<em>e</em>^(-λ)) λˣ)/ₓ!

P(X₅= 3) = ((<em>e</em>^(-λ)) λˣ)/ₓ! =  (e^-1.6667)((1.6667²)/3!)

P(X₅= 3) = (2.718^(-1.6667))((2.78)/6)

P(X₅= 3) = (2.718^(-1.6667))0.46

P(X₅= 3) = 0.1889×0.46

P(X₅= 3) = 0.086894

P(X₅= 3) = 0.087

Therefore, the probability of having 20 customers in the restaurant at 11:12 am given that there were 17 customers at 11:07 am is 0.087.
