Answer:

39 investors contributed $6,000, and 21 investors contributed $12,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x investors contributed $6,000, and y investors contributed $12,000.

x + y = 60

6,000x + 12,000y = 486,000

x + 2y = 81

x + y = 60

y = 21

x + 21 = 60

x = 39

So, 39 investors contributed $6,000, and 21 investors contributed $12,000.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The perimeter is 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of SOW, what we need to do is to add all the lengths around the triangle together.

But we only have OS, we do not have OW and WS. Thus , we need to get what the values of these lengths are before we can calculate the perimeter.

Please check the attachment for complete solution.

Suiting at 6 a.m., cars, buses, and motorcycles arrive at a highway loll booth according to independent Poisson processes. Cars
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

the rate of the cars = \dfrac{1}{5} \ car / min = 0.2 \ car /min

the rate of the buses = \dfrac{1}{10} \ bus / min = 0.1 \ bus /min

the rate of motorcycle = \dfrac{1}{30} \ motorcycle / min = 0.0333 \ motorcycle /min

The probability of any event at a given time t can be expressed as:

P(event  \ (x) \  in  \ time \  (t)\ min) = \dfrac{e^{-rate \times t}\times (rate \times t)^x}{x!}

∴

(a)

P(2 \ car \  in  \ 20 \  min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.20\times 20}\times (0.2 \times 20)^2}{2!}

P(2 \ car \  in  \ 20 \  min) =0.1465

P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 20}\times (0.0333 \times 20)^1}{1!}

P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.3422

P ( 0 \ buses  \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.1\times 20}\times (0.1 \times 20)^0}{0!}

P ( 0 \ buses  \ in \ 20 \ min) =  0.1353

Thus;

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.1465 × 0.3422 × 0.1353

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.0068

(b)

the rate of the total vehicles = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.0333 = 0.3333

the rate of vehicles with exact change = rate of total vehicles × P(exact change)

= 0.3333 \times \dfrac{1}{4}

= 0.0833

∴

P(zero \ exact \ change \ in \ 10 minutes) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0833\times 10}\times (0.0833 \times 10)^0}{0!}

P(zero  exact  change  in  10 minutes) = 0.4347

c)

The probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third motorcycle is:

P( 4  \ motorcyles \  in  \ 45  \ minutes) =\dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 45}\times (0.0333 \times 45)^4}{4!}

P( 4  \ motorcyles \  in  \ 45  \ minutes) =0.0469

Thus; the probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third one is = 0.0469

d)

P(at least one other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

= 1 - P(no other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

The 3rd car arrives at 15 minutes

The 4th car arrives at 20 minutes

The interval between the two = 5 minutes

<u>For Bus:</u>

P(no other vehicle  other vehicle arrives within 5 minutes is)

= \dfrac{6}{12} = 0.5

<u>For motorcycle:</u>

= \dfrac{2 }{12}  = \dfrac{1 }{6}

∴

The required probability = 1 - \Bigg ( \dfrac{e^{-0.5 \times 0.5^0}}{0!} \times \dfrac{e^{-1/6}\times (1/6)^0}{0!}  \Bigg)

= 1- 0.5134

= 0.4866
