Answer:
The mean number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period
For one minute, the mean is of 0.4 customers.
So, using proportions, for 5 minutes, the mean is of 5*0.4 = 2 customers.
The mean number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period is 2.
Answer:
LIMIT
The policy will pay for up to
$100,000 of damage to
another person's property.
The policy will pay only
$100 per incident for a
tow truck
DEDUCTIBLE
The policyholder must pay
the first $1,000 of repair
expenses before insurance
will pay for anything,
PREMIUM
The policy offers coverage
for a cost of $178 per month
The policyholder must
pay $500 semiannually
to the insurance provider
Step-by-step explanation:
LIMIT is the maximum amount an insurer will pay toward a covered claim
DEDUCTIBLE is the amount paid out of pocket toward a covered claim
PREMIUM is the amount paid regularly to keep the policy in force.
Answer:
yes it is
Step-by-step explanation:
plug x and y in
3 * 5 - 10 = 5 <== And this is true
Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631
