Laura got a discount of 100 dollars on her purchase of a 5775 bed.What is the percent of decrease?

matrenka [14]

Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

businessText message users receive or send an average of 62.7 text messages per day. How many text messages does a text message

KiRa [710]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b) The probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour is 0.2667.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of text messages receive or send in an hour.

The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ.

It is provided that users receive or send 62.7 text messages in 24 hours.

Then the average number of text messages received or sent in an hour is: $\lambda=\frac{62.7}{24}= 2.6125$ .

The probability of a random variable can be computed using the formula:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!} ;\ x=0, 1, 2, 3, ...$

(a)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour as follows:

$P(X=3)=\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!} =0.21798\approx0.2180$

Thus, the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour as follows:

P (X > 3) = 1 - P (X ≤ 3)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3)

$=1-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{1}}{1!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{2}}{2!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!}\\=1-0.0734-0.1916-0.2503-0.2180\\=0.2667$
