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

2/3 + 3/4 + 4/2. If a fraction appears in your answer, it should be in simplified form.
V125BC [204]
We must first make each fraction have a common denominator, this will be 12
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
4/2 * 6/6 = 24/12
we can then add the numerators of each fraction
8 + 9 + 24 = 41
so our answer is 41/12
we can not simplify any further and thus get
41/12

A bicyclist travels at a constant speed of 12 miles per hour for a total of 45 minutes. (Use set notation for the domain and ran
Mamont248 [21]

A bicyclist travels at a constant speed of 12 miles per hour for a total of 45 minutes.

We know the formula , Distance = speed * time

Speed is constant and it is 12. So it  is linear

The function becomes d = 12t, x is the t is the time and d is the distance

At the starting point, t=0  and distance d=0

End point , t=45 min = 0.75 hours and distance = 12 * 0.75 = 9

So domain (t) is {x|0}

Range (d) is {y|0}

The table displays the number of students in each grade at Richmond High School who will or will not be attending the amusement
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)=  0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)=  24.53\% \\\\

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a joint probability table.

There are four different graders in a school

1. Grade Ninth

2. Grade Tenth

3. Grade Eleventh

4. Grade Twelfth

Field trip refers to the students who will attending the amusement park field trip.

No field trip refers to the students who will not be attending the amusement park field trip.

We want to find out the probability that the selected student is an eleventh grader given that the student is going on a field trip.

P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)}

Where P(eleventh and FT) is the probability of students who are in eleventh grade and will be going to field trip

P(eleventh\:  and \: FT) = \frac{13}{92}  \\\\P(eleventh \:  and \: FT) = 0.1413

Where P(FT) is the probability of students who will be going to field trip

P(FT) = \frac{12}{92} + \frac{9}{92} + \frac{13}{92} + \frac{19}{92}\\\\P(FT) = 0.1304 + 0.0978 + 0.1413 + 0.2065\\\\P(FT) = 0.576 \\\\

So the required probability is

P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{P( eleventh\: \: and \: \: FT)}{P(FT)} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)= \frac{0.1413}{0.576} \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)=  0.2453 \\\\P( eleventh\: \: |\: \: FT)=  24.53\% \\\\
