Speedy Oil provides a single-server automobile oil change and lubrication service. Customers provide an arrival rate of 2.5 cars

per hour. The service rate is 5 cars per hour. Assume that arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution.
If required, round your answer to the nearest whole number.
(a) What is the average number of cars in the system?
(b) What is the average time that a car waits for the oil and lubrication service to begin?
(c) What is the average time a car spends in the system?
(d) What is the probability that an arrival has to wait for service?

Answer:

(a) Average number of cars in the system is 1

(b) Average time a car waits is 12 minutes

(c) Average time a car spends in the system is 2 minutes

(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following

Arrival Rate, A = 2.5

Service Rate B = 5

(a) Average Number of Cars in the System is determined by dividing the Arrival Rate A by the difference between the Service Rate B, and Arrival Rate A.

Average number of cars = A/(B - A)

= 2.5/(5 - 2.5)

= 2.5/2.5 = 1

There is an average of 1 car.

(b) Average time a car waits = A/B(B - A)

= 2.5/5(5 - 2.5)

= 2.5/(5 × 2.5)

= 2.5/12.5

= 1/5

= 0.20 hours

Which is 12 minutes

(c) Average time a car spends in the system is the ratio of the average time a car waits to the service rate.

Average time = 0.2/5

= 0.04 hours

= 2.4 minutes

Which is approximately 2 minutes.

(d) Probability that an arrival has to wait for service is the ratio of the average time a car waits to rate of arrivals.

Probability = 0.2/2.5

= 0.08

Outback automatically applies an 18% gratuity on parties larger than 12 people. You went to dinner with a group of 20 people and
GuDViN [60]

Answer: $290.28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find tip, you need to multiply the cost ($246) by the desired tip amount in a decimal (0.18). 246*0.18<em>=</em>44.28

Once you have done that add that number to the cost. $246+$44.28=$290.28

If you don't know how to convert a percent to a decimal, you divide the percent by 100.

How do I find the critical points?
podryga [215]
Critical points is where the derivative (slope) is zero or does not exist. So to do this we have to find the derivative of our function:

\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2} - 1)^{3}

So we apply chain rule:

= 3(x^{2} - 1)^{2} * 2x

Set our first derivative to zero and solve for x:

3(x^2 - 1) * 2x = 0

So we can see that (by plugging in) 0, -1 and 1 makes our solution true

So our critical value is x = 0, x = -1, x = 1

Find other values of a, b, and c so that log(a) + log(b) + log(c) = log(a + b + c).
yanalaym [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

log(a) + log(b) + log(c) = log(a + b + c)

We know that by property

log(a) + log(b) + log(c) = log(abc)

Therefore,

log(abc) = log(a + b + c)

Thus,

(abc) = (a + b + c)

Thus when a = b = c = 0,

         then (abc) = (a + b + c)

                  0 = 0

and when a = 1, b = 2, c = 3,

       then (abc) = (a + b + c)

               (1 x 2 x 3 ) = (1 + 2 + 3)

                    6 = 6
