A catalog company that receives the majority of its orders by telephone conducted a study to determine how long customers were w

illing to wait on hold before ordering a product. The length of time was found to be a random variable best approximated by an exponential distribution with a mean equal to 2.8 minutes. What is the probability that a randomly selected caller is placed on hold fewer than 7 minutes?

Answer:

0.917915

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution is expressed as it follows

F (y,λ) = 1 – e ^(- λ(y) )

Where λ is equal to 1/ population mean

So λ = 1/2.8 = 0.357

Let y be the length of time a costumer wait on hold

Now, let´s find the value for y = 7 minutes, which is the proportion of costumer that wait on hold

P (y<7) = 1 – e^(- .357*(7) )

P (y<7) = 0.917915

S the standard deviation of the sample a good estimate of the variation of salaries of tv personalities in​ general?
ziro4ka [17]
The answer is No because the sample is not representative of the whole population. The standard deviation of the sample is not a good estimate of the variation of the salaries of the TV personalities in general because a single sample is not counted as a whole. Standard Deviation is a quantity that is calculated to indicate the extent of deviation of the population or group as a whole. Standard deviation also represented by the symbol σ means sigma in Greek letter or s in Latin letter. It is also the measurement of a set of data values that are used to quantify the amount of variation.

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–9, –2) and (1, 3) is y – 3 = (x – 1). What is the slope-i
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

the slope intercept form is: y = x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of point slope form is : y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

The given equation is: y – 3 = (x – 1)

comparing we get,

m = 1

and solving the equation;

y-3 = x-1

Adding +3 on both sides

y = x-1+3

y=x+2

The general formula of slope-intercept form is : y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so, y = x+2

where m =1 and b=2

so, the slope intercept form is: y = x+2

a group of students were surveyed to find out if they like building snowmen or skiing as a winter activity. The results of the s
Liula [17]

Answer:

2/5 or 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

10 students like building snowmen but do not like skiing

so students who like both building snowman and skiing = 60 - 10 = 50

Total number of students who does not like building snowman and also does not like skiing = 80 - 60 = 20

Therefore, the probability that  a student who does not like building snowmen also does not like skiing = 20/50 = 0.4
