Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the random time variable, X = 45min; mean, ∪ = 30min; standard deviation, α = 15min

By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 30)

P(Z ≤ X - ∪/α) = P(Z ≤ 45 - 30/15) = P( Z ≤ 1)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.3413

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1537

∴ P(Z > 45) = 0.1537

2) By compering (0 ≤ Z ≤ 15) ( that is 4:15pm)

P(Z ≤ 15 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ -1)

Using Table

P(-1 ≤ Z ≤ 0) = 0.3413

P(Z < 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1587

∴ P(Z < 15) = 0.1587

3) By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 60) (that is for 5:00pm)

P(Z ≤ 60 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ 2)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.4772

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.4772) = 0.0228

∴ P(Z > 60) = 0.0228

If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures every twenty weeks, calcul

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

3 failures every twenty weeks

This means that for 1 week, $\mu = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

Calculate the probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Probability of at most one failure, so:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.8607$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1291$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.8607 + 0.1291 = 0.9898$

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The jars of peanut butter that I buy cost $7.20 each and normally contain 500 grams.

At present, however, each jar contains an extra 20% free.

And additionally, the supermarket has a "buy 3 jars get another one free''.

Question asked:

By how much is the cost per 100 grams of peanut butter less than it normally is if I take full advantage of the supermarket's offer today?

Solution:

Cost of a jars of peanut = $7.20

Normally, weight of peanut butter in one packet = 500 gram

At supermarket offer, each jar contains an extra 20% free, means a packet of peanut butter contains = 500 + 20% of 500 $=500+500\times \frac{20}{100} =500+100=600\ gram$

And extra benefit = buy 3 jars get another one free, means we will get 4 jars by just giving price of only 3 jars.

That means, total weight of peanut butter you are getting by giving 3 packet's price = Each jar weigh $\times$ number of jars

= 600 $\times$ 4 = 2400 gram

Cost of each packet will be same as previously as during the offer; $7.20

Cost of 3 packet's peanut (2400 gram) = $7.20\times3=\$21.6$

Now, we will calculate cost per 100 grams of peanut butter :

During offer:

Cost of 2400 grams of peanut butter = $21.6

Cost of 1 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{21.6}{2400}$

Cost of 100 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{21.6}{2400}\times100=\frac{2160}{2400} =\$0.9$

Normal day:

Cost of 500 grams of peanut butter = $7.20

Cost of 1 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{7.20}{500}$

Cost of 100 gram of peanut butter = $\frac{7.20}{500}\times100=\frac{720}{500} =\$1.44$

We found that cost of 100 gram of peanut butter in normal day is $1.44 while cost of 100 gram of peanut butter during offer is $0.9 means cost per 100 gram during offer is ($1.44 - $0.9 = )$0.54 less than cost during normal day.

Conclusion:

Therefore, cost per 100 grams of peanut butter is $0.54 less than it is normally if you take full advantage of the supermarket's offer today.
