Answer:

"Expected value of your waiting time would be 45"

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you arrive randomly and all arrival times are equally likely, half the time you will arrive at the bus stop during the 90/2=45 minute period after the last bus left, and half the time you'll arrive during the 15 minute period before the next bus arrives.

In general, you'll arrive at the bus stop n < 45 minutes AFTER the last bus left and as often as you'll arrive at the bus stop n < 45 minutes BEFORE the next bus comes The average of those times, if we calculate, will be 45.

Hence, your average waiting time can be 45 and this means the "expected" value of your waiting time.

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. She wants to know how many minutes (m) it would take her to eat
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The answer is 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the known amount of time to a fraction.

6/21 (min over hot dogs).

Set up a proportion.

6/21 = m/35 (m being the number of minutes)

Cross multiply.

210 = 21m

Solve for m. (divide each side by 21)

m = 10

I hope this helps! :)
