It will take Mallory 40 minutes to get to the airport by train.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Time taken by car = 120 minutes

Time taken by train = t

According to given statement;

Time taken by car = 3 times time taken by train

$120=3t$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{120}{3}=\frac{3t}{3}\\40=t\\t=40$

It will take Mallory 40 minutes to get to the airport by train.

Answer:

The number of minutes advertisement should use is found.

x ≅ 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)

For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.

Probability Density Function is given by:

$f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t$

Consider the second function:

$f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\$

Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5

The function f(t) becomes

$f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}$

The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01

The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:

$\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt$

which is equal to 0.01

Solve the equation for x

$\int\limits^{\infty}_x {0.4e^{-0.4t}} \, dt =0.01\\\\\frac{0.4e^{-0.4t}}{-0.4}=0.01\\\\-e^{-0.4t} |^\infty_x =0.01\\\\e^{-0.4x}=0.01$

Take natural log on both sides

$ln (e^{-0.4x})=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=-4.61\\x= 11.53$

<h3>Results</h3>

The costumer has to wait x = 11.53 mins ≅ 12 mins to get a free hamburger

I don’t understand this at all

Romashka [77]

Answer:

a) the midpoint is (1.5, 2.5)

b) the line is y = -(7/3)*x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have two values, A and B, the mid-value between A and B is:

(A + B)/2

Now, if we have a segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d), the midpoint will be in the mid-value of the x-components and the mid-value of the y-components, this means that the midpoint is:

( (c + a)/2, (b + d)/2)

a) Then if the endpoints of the segment are (-2, 1) and (5, 4), the midpoint of this segment will be:

( (-2 + 5)/2, (1 + 4)/2) = (3/2, 5/2) = (1.5, 2,5)

The midpoint of the segment is (1.5, 2.5)

Now we want to find the equation of a perpendicular line to our segment, that passes through the point (1.5, 2.5).

First, if we have a line:

y = a*x + b

A perpendicular line to this one will have a slope equal to -(1/a)

So the first thing we need to do is find the slope of the graphed segment.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) the slope is:

slope = (c - a)/(d - b)

Then the slope of the segment is:

slope = (4 - 1)/(5 - (-2)) = 3/7

Then the slope of the perpendicular line will be:

s = -(7/3)

Then the perpendicular line will be something like:

y = -(7/3)*x + d

Now we want this line to pass through the point (1.5, 2.5), then we can replace the values of this point in the above equation, and solve for d.

2.5 = -(7/3)*1.5 + d

2.5 + (7/3)*1.5 = d = 6

Then the line is:

y = -(7/3)*x + 6
