Answer:
<em>L = 24,873.6 miles</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Length of the Circumference</u>
Given a circle of radius r, the length of the circumference, or line surrounding the shape is:
The Earth has a diameter of 7,917.5 miles. The radius is half the diameter:
r=7,917.5/2=3,958.75 miles
Assuming a plane flies around the equator at ground level, the distance it would travel is:
L = 24,873.6 miles
Answer:
a) P(2)=0.270
b) P(X>3)=0.605
c) P=0.410
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.1 per minute. We use the Poisson distribution:
a) In this case:
Therefore, the probability is P(2)=0.270.
b) In this case:
Therefore, the probability is P(X>3)=0.605.
c) We know that two customers came in in the first minute. That is why we calculate the probability of at least 5 customers entering the other 2 minutes.
In this case:
Therefore, the probability is P=0.410.
