2/5
= 2/5* (100/100) (because 100/100= 1)
= (2/5*100)/100
= 40/100
= 40%

2/5 as a percent is 40%~

2/5 multiply the top and bottom number by 20 you get 40/100 which is the same as 40%

Airline passengers arrive randomly and independently at the passenger-screening facility at a major international airport. The m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Part a: The probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period is 0.000045.

Part b: The probability of three or fewer passengers arrive in a one-minute period is 0.0103.

Part c: The probability of no arrivals in a 15-second is 0.0821.

Part d: The probability of at least one arrival in a 15-second period is 0.9179.

Step-by-step explanation:

Airline passengers are arriving at an airport independently. The mean arrival rate is 10 passengers per minute. Consider the random variable X to represent the number of passengers arriving per minute. The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution. That is,

$X \sim {\rm{Poisson}}\left( {\lambda = 10} \right)$

The probability mass function of X can be written as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

Substitute the value of λ=10 in the formula as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{{\left( {10} \right)}^x}}}{{x!}}$

Part a:

The probability that there are no arrivals in one minute is calculated by substituting x = 0 in the formula as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = {e^{ - 10}}\\\\ = 0.000045\\\end{array}$

The probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period is 0.000045.

Part b:

The probability mass function of X can be written as,

$P\left( {X = x} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

The probability of the arrival of three or fewer passengers in one minute is calculated by substituting \lambda = 10λ=10 and x = 0,1,2,3x=0,1,2,3 in the formula as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X \le 3} \right) = \sum\limits_{x = 0}^3 {\frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^x}}}{{x!}}} \\\\ = \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^1}}}{{1!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^2}}}{{2!}} + \frac{{{e^{ - 10}}{{\left( {10} \right)}^3}}}{{3!}}\\\\ = 0.000045 + 0.00045 + 0.00227 + 0.00756\\\\ = 0.0103\\\end{array}$

The probability of three or fewer passengers arrive in a one-minute period is 0.0103.

Part c:

Consider the random variable Y to denote the passengers arriving in 15 seconds. This means that the random variable Y can be defined as $\frac{X}{4}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\E\left( Y \right) = E\left( {\frac{X}{4}} \right)\\\\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 10\\\\ = 2.5\\\end{array}$

That is,

$Y\sim {\rm{Poisson}}\left( {\lambda = 2.5} \right)$

So, the probability mass function of Y is,

$P\left( {Y = y} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - \lambda }}{\lambda ^y}}}{{y!}};x = 0,1,2, \ldots$

The probability that there are no arrivals in the 15-second period can be calculated by substituting the value of (λ=2.5) and y as 0 as:

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ - 2.5}} \times {{2.5}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = {e^{ - 2.5}}\\\\ = 0.0821\\\end{array}$

The probability of no arrivals in a 15-second is 0.0821.

Part d:

The probability that there is at least one arrival in a 15-second period is calculated as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X \ge 1} \right) = 1 - P\left( {X < 1} \right)\\\\ = 1 - P\left( {X = 0} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \frac{{{e^{ - 2.5}} \times {{2.5}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = 1 - {e^{ - 2.5}}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\ = 1 - 0.082\\\\ = 0.9179\\\end{array}$

The probability of at least one arrival in a 15-second period is 0.9179.

The area of a triangular block is 49 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and t

andrezito [222]

1) Formula: area = height * base / 2

2) Call x the height:

height = x

base = 2x

3) State the equation:

(x)(2x) = 49 in^2

4) Solve the equation:

2x^2 = 49 in^s

x^2 = (49/2) in^2

x = √(49/2) in

x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in

5) Solution:

height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in

6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2

Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.

Lucy will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $53 and costs an add

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The amount driven would be 275, and the cost for both plans will be 77.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

make both equations

y=0.09x+53

y=0.13x+42

set them equal to each other and solve for x to get the distance

take that number and put it in one equation and solve for y to get the price of the plan for that value
