Answer:

a) E(X)=1

b) σ=1

c) P(X>1)=0.368

d) P(2<X<5)=0.128

Step-by-step explanation:

We have X: "the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank", exponentially distributed with λ = 1.

a) We have to compute the expected time between two successive arrivals.

The expected value for X as it is exponentially distributed is:

E(X)=\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1

b) We have to compute the standard deviation of X.

The standard deviation is calculated as:

\sigma=\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1

c) The probability that X is larger than 1 (P(X>1))

We can express the probability as:

P(X>t)=e^{-\lambda t}\\\\P(X>1)=e^{-\lambda\cdot 1}=e^{-1}=0.368

d) The probability that X is between 2 and 5 (P(2<X<5))

P(X>t)=e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\\P(25)\\\\P(2

Steven wants to increase the number of books he reads per year. He currently reads 2 books a year. He wants to triple the number
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

B=2\times 3^n

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growing </u>

Steven currently reads 2 books a year. He wants to triple the number of books read per year. The first year he should read

2*3 = 6\ books

By the second year, he should read

2*3^2 = 18\ books

By the third year, he should read

2*3^3 = 54\ books

We can clearly see there is a geometric progression of the number of books he should read for the year n. The general formula is, being B the number of books read at the year n

\boxed{B=2\times 3^n}

Round 8.77 to the nearest whole number
adell [148]
It’s 9 because the whole number is eight, but seven is going to bring the number up ( five or more raise the score, four or less let it rest.) Good luck !

The graph of f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6 is shown. Based on the graph, what are all of the solutions to f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6? x = −6 x = −2
pogonyaev
F(x)=x^3-7x-6  Since I don't have the graph and this is not a perfect cube, I will have to rely on Newton :P

x-(f(x)/(dy/dx))

x-(x^3-7x-6)/(3x^2-7)

(2x^3+6)/(3x^2-7), letting x1=0

0, -6/7, -.988, -.9999, -.99999999999, -1

(x^3-7x-6)/(x+1)

x^2 r -x^2-7x-6
-x   r  -6x-6
-6   r  0

(x+1)(x^2-x-6)=0

(x+1)(x-3)(x+2)=0

x= -2, -1, 3
