At the center of espionage in Kznatropsk one is thinking of a new method for sending Morse telegrams. Instead of using the tradi

tional method, that is, to send letters in groups of 5 according to a Poisson process with intensity 1, one might send them one by one according to a Poisson process with intensity 5. Before deciding which method to use one would like to know the following: What is the probability that it takes less time to send one group of 5 letters the traditional way than to send 5 letters the new way (the actual transmission time can be neglected).

Answer:

It takes less time sending 5 letters the traditional way with a probability of 36.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must take into account that:

- The traditional method is distributed X ~ Poisson(L = 1)

- The new method is distributed X ~ Poisson(L = 5)

P(X=x)=\frac{L^{x}e^{-L}}{x!}

Where L is the intensity in which the events happen in a time unit and x is the number of events.

To solve the problem we must calculate the probability of events  (to send 5 letters) in a unit of time for both methods, so:

- For the traditional method:

P(X=5)=\frac{1^{5}e^{-1}}{1!}\\\\P(X=5) = 0.367

- For the new method:

P(X=5)=\frac{5^{5}e^{-5}}{5!}\\\\P(X=5) = 0.175

According to this calculations we have a higher probability of sending 5 letters with the traditional method in a unit of time, that is 36.7%. Whereas sending 5 letters with the new method is less probable in a unit of time. In other words, we have more events per unit of time with the traditional method.

zaharov [31]
Let x = amount invested in 2% CD and y = amount invested in 3% CD
x + y = 60000
0.02x + 0.03y = 1600
SOLVE THE 1st EQUATION FOR x AND SUBSTITUTE RESULT IN 2nd
0.02(60000 - y) + 0.03y = 1600  
1200 - 0.02y + 0.03y = 1600
0.03y = 400
y = 13333.34
x = 46666.66

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 8 : 9 : 10. The perimeter of the triangle is 108cm. What are th
belka [17]

Answer:

32, 36, 40

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9x + 10x = 108

27x = 108

x = 4

4 × 8 = 32 - 1st side

4 × 9 = 36 - 2nd side

4 × 10 = 40 - 3rd side
