Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a poisson distribution. Let x be a random representing the number of calls in a given time interval.

a) the expected number of calls in one hour is the same as the mean score in 60 minutes. Thus,

Mean score = 60/2 = 30 calls

b) The interval of interest is 5 minutes.

µ = 5/2 = 2.5

We want to determine P(x = 3)

Using the Poisson probability calculator,

P(x = 3) = 0.21

c) µ = 5/2 = 2.5

We want to determine P(x = 0)

Using the Poisson probability calculator,

P(x = 0) = 0.08

Scrat [10]
100% - 20% = 80%

$26.95 * 80% = $21.56

You multiply by 80% because you are taking 20% off and now want to know what 80% of the price will be.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.

Solve to find X. 1/5(x - 2) = 1/10 (x + 6)
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute:

\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{5} =\frac{1}{10} x+\frac{6}{10}

Next, subtract \frac{1}{5}x from both sides:

-\frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{10} x -\frac{1}{5} x+\frac{6}{10}

(multiply \frac{1}{5}x by 2 to get common denominator, \frac{2}{10} x )

-\frac{2}{5} =-\frac{1}{10}x +\frac{6}{10}

Next, subtract \frac{6}{10} from both sides:

-\frac{2}{5} -\frac{6}{10} =-\frac{1}{10} x

(multiply \frac{2}{5} by 2 to get common denominator, \frac{4}{10} )

-\frac{10}{10} =-\frac{1}{10} x ⇒ -1=-\frac{1}{10} x

Next, multiply both sides by 10:

-10=-x

FInally, divide both sides by -1:

x = 10

x + 3 = 4x - 6

add 6 to both sides

x + 9 = 4x

subtract x from both sides

9 = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c-------> the number of cookies in each batch

we know that

To find the total number of cookies, multiply the number of batches by the  number of cookies in each batch

so

3c ------> equation that represent the total number of cookies

If Anna ate 8 cookies

then

The expression to know how many cookies Anna has left is equal to

3c-8
