Trick or treaters arrive to your house according to a Poisson process with a constant rate parameter of 20 per hour. Suppose you

begin sitting on your front porch, observing these arrivals, at some point in time. Suppose a trick or treater arrived 30 minutes ago, but there have been none since. What is the expected value of interarrival time (in minutes) from the previous trick or treater to the next one

Answer:

The expected value of interarrival time (in minutes) from the previous trick or treater to the next one is 3 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a Poisson process with a constant rate parameter of 20 arrival per hour.

This type of processes are memory-less, meaning that no matter how much time has passed form the last event, the probabilities of an arrival stay the same.

The mean interarrival time can be calculated as the inverse of the mean arrival for the Poisson process.

If the Poisson process has a rate of 20 arrivals per hour, the mean interarrival time is:

\bar t=1/\lambda=1/20=0.05\,h/arrival=3 \,min/arrival

Since CB || ED and CB = ED,

by the alternate interior angles theorem,
mE = mC, and mD = mB. 

with CB = ED, we can conclude that CBF = EDF, by SAS congruent theorem.

3. In the figure below, find the values of x, y, and z.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

z= 13

x= 36

y= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for z.

We know that 108 degrees and (8z+4) are alternate exterior angles, so they are equal to each other.

We can set both of those angles equal to each other, and solve for our missing side, z.

108= 8z+4

104=8z

z= 13

Solving for x.

We know that 108 degrees and (3x) are alternate interior angles, so they would equal each other.

We can set both of these angles equal to each other, and solve for our missing side, x.

3x=108

x= 36

Solve for y.

We know that (4y) and (3x) are same side interior angles, so they would make 180 degrees. We know that (3x) would equal 108.

4y+108=180

4y= 72

y= 18

Evaluate the expression 6+[(-24)÷6]/19
zlopas [31]
The order of operations is defined by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
Therefore
6 + [(-24) ÷ 6] / 19
= 6 + [ -24/6 ] / 19      handle parentheses first
= 6 + (-4) /19
= 6 - 4/19                   handle division
= 110/19
= 5 5/9

Answer:  
\frac{110}{19} \,\, or \,\, 5 \, \frac{5}{19} \,\, or \,\,  5.79

There are 4 jacks and 13 clubs in a standard, 52-card deck of playing cards. What is the probability that a card picked at rando
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

16/52, or 4/13.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since we know that the question is asking for the probability of a club <u>or</u> a jack, we know that we have to add the two probabilities. The first probability is that of picking a club, which is 13/52. The probability of picking a jack (be sure not to overlap; don't double count the jack of clubs) is 3/52. Adding these two gives us 13/52+3/52=16/52, which simplifies to 4/13.
