Suppose customers in a certain queue are served one at a time sequentially, that the time for each individual customer is Expone

ntial, and the average service time per customer equals 12 minutes. (Assume service times are independent of each other.) The time, in minutes, until the next 3 services are completed is Gamma (more specifically, Erlang) with what shape and rate parameters?

Answer:

The shape and rate parameters are \frac{1}{12} and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = service time for each individual.

The average service time is, <em>β</em> = 12 minutes.

The random variable follows an Exponential distribution with parameter, \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{12}.

The service time for the next 3 customers is,

<em>Z</em> = <em>X</em>₁ + <em>X</em>₂ + <em>X</em>₃

All the <em>X</em>_{i}'s are independent Exponential random variable.

The sum of independent Exponential random variables is known as a Gamma or Erlang random variable.

The random variable <em>Z</em> follows a Gamma distribution with parameters (<em>α</em>, <em>n</em>).

The parameters are:

\alpha =\lambda=\frac{1}{12}\\n=3

Thus, the shape and rate parameters are \frac{1}{12} and 3.

Well from what i know here's what i would put........
-4 * -2 = 8 - 2 = 6
-4 * -1 = 4 - 2 = 2
-4 * 0 = 0 - 2 = -2
so it does represent a function......I really hope that helped!!

Segment AE is a median for Triangle ABC.
Shalnov [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

BC = BE + CE...(\because B-E-C)  \\  \\  \therefore \: BC = 3x - 5 + x + 1 \\  \\ \therefore \: BC = 4x - 4 \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: BC = 4(x - 1)}}

Tia walked 1/2 mile in 5 minutes. She walked at the same rate for the entire distance. How far did Tia walk in 1 minute?
Hatshy [7]
She walked 1/10 of a mile in one minute
work: 1/2 a mile is 0.5 and 0.5 divided by 5 is 0.1 so you get 0.1 mile for each minute
