Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = amount of time (in minutes) a postal clerk spends with his or her customer. The time is known to have an exponential distribution with the average amount of time

X is a continuous random variable since time is measured. It is given that μ = 6 years. To do any calculations, you must know m, the decay parameter.

m = 1/μ = 1/6

So the decay rate is 1/6

A drama club earns $1400 from a production it sells a total of 64 tickets adult tickets and 132 student tickets in adult ticket
Ket [755]

Answer: an adult ticket cost $8 and a student ticket cost $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one student ticket.

Let y represent the cost of one adult ticket.

A drama club earns $1040 from a production. It sells a total of 64 adult tickets and 132 student tickets. It means that

132x + 64y = 1040 - - - - - - - - - -1

An adult ticket costs twice as much as a student ticket. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

132x + 64 × 2x = 1040

132x + 128x = 1040

260x = 1040

x = 1040/260 = 4

y = 2x = 2 × 4

y = 8

Find the interval in which the function is negative.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

  B. II only . . . (-1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function factors as ...

  f(x) = (x +1)(x -4)

The factors are zero when x=-1 and x=4. The value of the function will be negative when one of these factors is negative, between x=-1 and x=4. In interval notation, that interval is ...

  (-1, 4) . . . interval for f(x) < 0 . . . . . . interval description II (only)

just olya [345]
Out of 80 rolls, the number three has come up 6+6+5+7=24 times.  As a result, we can estimate the probability as 24/80=3/10, or 30%.  The probability of rolling a three on a standard die is 16.7%, so the difference is 30%-16.7%=13.3%, or approximately 13%.
