$100 * 0.2 = $20.
$100 - $20 = $80.
$80 * 0.1 = $8.
$80 + $8 = $88.
$88 * 0.2 = $17.60
$88 - $17.60 = $70.40.
Answer: $70.40

$A= \frac{1}{2} h (x+y)$

we have to solve for x , solving for x means , we have to isolate x one one side , by shifting all other variables to other side

So

$A= \frac{1}{2} h (x+y)$

Multiply both sides by 2

2A = h(x+y)

Divide both sides by h

2A/h = x+y

Subtract y from both sides

$\frac{2A}{h} -y =x$

or

$x=\frac{2A}{h} -y$

sqrt (100) is a rational number

10*10 = 100 (-10)*(-10) =100

sqrt(100)

=-10, 10

these are rational numbers

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0$

Here, $\lambda$ = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean = $\frac{1}{\lambda}$

So, $22=\frac{1}{\lambda}$ ⇒ $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$

SO, X ~ Exp( $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$ )

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

$P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}$ ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

P(X < 30) = $1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}$

= 1 - 0.2557

= 0.7443
