Changes in airport procedures require considerable planning. Arrival rates of aircrft are important factors that muct be taken i

Answer:

a) 0.1558

b) 0.7983

c) 0.1478

Step-by-step explanation:

If we suppose that small aircraft arrive at the airport according to a <em>Poisson process</em> <em>at the rate of 5.5 per hour</em>  and if X is the random variable that measures the number of arrivals in one hour, then the probability of k arrivals in one hour is given by:

\bf P(X=k)=\displaystyle\frac{(5.5)^ke^{-5.5}}{k!}

(a) What is the probability that exactly 4 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period?

\bf P(X=4)=\displaystyle\frac{(5.5)^4e^{-5.5}}{4!}=0.1558

(b) What is the probability that at least 4 arrive during a 1-hour period?

\bf P(X\geq4)=1-P(X

(c) If we define a working day as 12 hours, what is the probability that at least 75 small aircraft arrive during a working day?

If we redefine the time interval as 12 hours instead of one hour, then the rate changes from 5.5 per hour to 12*5.5 = 66 per working day, and the pdf is now

\bf P(X=k)=\displaystyle\frac{(66)^ke^{-66}}{k!}

and we want <em>P(X ≥ 75) = 1-P(X<75)</em>. But

\bf P(X

hence

P(X ≥ 75) = 1-0.852 = 0.1478

  • The product is 21/32.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Write the product:</u>

  • => 2 5/8 x 2/8

<u>Convert it to improper fraction:</u>

  • => 21/8 x 2/8

<u>Multiply:</u>

  • => 42/64

<u>Simplify:</u>

  • => 21/32

Hence, <u>the product is 21/32.</u>

Hoped this helped.

Cora’s kitten weighs 1,200 grams. If he weighed 550 grams at the last visit to the veterinarian’s office,
erik [133]

118%

It is 118% increase from 550 to 1200 grams.

IF you divide 650 by 550 (650 is how much weight the cat gained) you can find out the percent.

650/550= 1.18181818...

Multiply by 100

1.181818181818....*100=

118.18181818

Rounded, 118%
