Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport according to a Poisson process with rate α = 8 per hour, so that the number o

f arrivals during a time period of t hours is a Poisson rv with parameter μ = 8t.
Required:
a. What is the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period? At least 6? At least 10?
b. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period?
c. What is the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period? That at most 10 arrive during this period?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:

We have Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport according to a Poisson process with rate α =8 per hour, so that the number of arrivals during a time period of t hours is a Poisson rv with parameter μ = 8t

Step2:

Let “X” the number of small aircraft that arrive during time t and it follows poisson distribution parameter “”

The probability mass function of poisson distribution is given by

P(X) = , x = 0,1,2,3,...,n.

Where, μ(mean of the poisson distribution)

a).

Given that time period t = 1hr.

Then,μ = 8t

             = 8(1)

             = 8

Now,

The probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is given by

P(exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period) = P(X = 6)

Consider,

P(X = 6) =  

              =  

              =  

              = 0.1219.

Therefore,The probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.1219.

1).P(At least 6) = P(X 6)

Consider,

P(X 6) = 1 - P(X5)

                = 1 - {+++++}

                = 1 - (){+++++}

                = 1 - (0.000335){+++++}

                = 1 - (0.000335){1+8+32+85.34+170.67+273.07}

                = 1 - (0.000335){570.08}

                = 1 - 0.1909

                = 0.8090.

Therefore, the probability that at least 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.8090.

2).P(At least 10) = P(X 10)

Consider,

P(X 10) = 1 - P(X9)

                 = 1 - {+++++

Which statement is true about ∠1 and ∠2?
gavmur [86]

Answer: Most likely A

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason I say its A is because of the face that congruent means in line not and straight. Though in your answer it shows that they are not alined so that leaves us with complemantary and the 2 complementary answer choices are

A & C but C is wrong because it say alternate which also means the that they would be 2 different angels so yeah I'm gonna go for A.

Good luck :)
