The probability of a customer arrival at a grocery service counter in any one second is equal to 0.3. Assume that customers arri

ve in a random stream, so an arrival in any one second is independent of all others. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that the first arrival will occur during the third one-second interval. (b) Find the probability that the first arrival will not occur until at least the third one-second interval.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the probability of a customer arrival at a grocery service counter in any one second is equal to 0.3

Assume that customers arrive in a random stream, so an arrival in any one second is independent of all others.

i.e. X the no of customers arriving is binomial with p = 0.3 and q = 1-0.3 =0.7

a) the probability that the first arrival will occur during the third one-second interval.

= Prob that customer did not arrive in first 2 seconds * prob customer arrive in 3rd sec

= 0.7^2 (0.3)\\= 0.147

b)  the probability that the first arrival will not occur until at least the third one-second interval.

Prob that customer did not arrive in first two seconds *(Prob customer arrives in 3rd or 4th or 5th.....)

=(0.7^2)[0.3+0.7*0.3+0.7^2*0.3+....)\\

The term inside bracket is a geometric infinite progression with common ratio - 0.7 <1

Hence the series converges

Prob =0.7^2 *\frac{0.3}{1-0.7} \\=0.49

Ramu and ravi borrowed rs 8000​
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Rs. 11,520

Step-by-step explanation:

As the method of compounding is not stated, the default of simple interest will be used.

Simple interest is a fixed amount that is paid over the course of the loan and is based on the original amount borrowed.

Formula is:

Amount owed = Amount borrowed * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 8,000 * ( 1 + 8% * 5.5 years)

= 8,000 * 1.44

= rs 11,520
