Cars arrive at the Wendy's drive-through at a rate of 1 car every 5 minutes between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. on Saturd

mestny [16]

Answer:

1) $P(X = 8) = 0.1033$

$P(X = 9) = 0.0688$

2) Expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 8 customers use the drive-through: 20.66

Expected number of 200 restaurants in which exactly 9 customers use the drive-through: 13.76

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

Question 1. Use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probability that exactly 8 cars will use the drive-through between 12:00 midnight and 12:30 AM on a Saturday night at Wendy's. Do the same for exactly 9 cars.

Cars arrive at the Wendy's drive-through at a rate of 1 car every 5 minutes between the hours of 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. on Saturday nights. This means that during 30 minutes, 6 cars expected to arrive. So $\mu = 6$ .

P(X = 8)

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-6}*(6)^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1033$

P(X = 9)

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-6}*(6)^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.0688$

Question 2. At how many of the 200 restaurants in the survey would you expect exactly 8 customers to use the drive-through? exactly 9 customers?

There is a 10.33 probability that 8 customers would use the drive through for each restaurant.

So of 200, the expected number is

$E(X) = 200*0.1033 = 20.66$

There is a 6.88 probability that 9 customers would use the drive through for each restaurant.

So of 200, the expected number is

$E(X) = 200*0.0688 = 13.76$

A ball is thrown into the air. The path it takes is modeled by the equation: -3t+24t = h, where t is the time in seconds and h i

astra-53 [7]

Given:

The given equation is:

$-3t^2+24t=h$

Where, t is the time in seconds and h is the height of the ball above the ground, measured in feet.

To find:

The inequality to model when the height of the ball is at least 36 feet above the ground. Then find time taken by ball to reach at or above 36 feet.

Solution:

We have,

$-3t^2+24t=h$

The height of the ball is at least 36 feet above the ground. It means $h\geq 36$ .

$-3t^2+24t\geq 36$

$-3t^2+24t-36\geq 0$

$-3(t^2-8t+12)\geq 0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$-3(t^2-6t-2t+12)\geq 0$

$-3(t(t-6)-2(t-6))\geq 0$

$-3(t-2)(t-6)\geq 0$

The critical points are:

$-3(t-2)(t-6)=0$

$t=2,6$

These two points divide the number line in 3 intervals $(-\infty,2),(2,6),(6,\infty)$ .

Intervals Check point $-3(t-2)(t-6)\geq 0$ Result

$(-\infty,2)$ 0 $(-)(-)(-)=(-)$ False

$(2,6)$ 4 $(-)(+)(-)=+>0$ True

$(6,\infty)$ 8 $(-)(+)(+)=(-)$ False

The inequality is true for (2,6) and the sign of inequality is $\geq$ . So, the ball is above 36 feet between 2 to 6 seconds.

$6-2=4$

Therefore, the required inequality is $-3t^2+24t\geq 36$ and the ball is 36 feet above for 4 seconds.

For what value of x is sin x = cos 19º, where 0°< x < 90°?

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of an angle is equal to the sine of its complement:

cos(19°) = sin(90° -19°) = sin(71°)

Comparing to the given expression, we see that x = 71°.
