Answer:
The advertisement should use 16 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential distribution:
The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:
In which is the decay parameter.
The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:
Which has the following solution:
The probability of finding a value higher than x is:
The manager of a fast-food restaurant determines that the average time that her customers wait for service is 3.5 minutes.
This means that
What number of minutes should the advertisement use?
The values of x for which:
So
Rounding to the nearest number, the advertisement should use 16 minutes.
The slope is 9/3 which can be simplified into 3/1
Answer:
577
Step-by-step explanation:
See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
