At an impaired driver checkpoint, the time required to conduct the impairment test varies (according to an exponential distribut

ion) depending on compliance of the driver, but takes 60 seconds on average. If an average of 30 vehicles per hour arrive (according to a Poisson distribution) and there is a single lane at the checkpoint, determine the average time spent in the system. a. 0.033 min/veh b. 1.0 min/veh c. 1.5 min/veh d. 2.0 min/veh

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ \frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30} hr/veh

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30}\times60 min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

What is the basic formula for actual mechanical advantage?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mechanical Advantage Formula

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of its output to its input. It is also equal to the ratio of the actual and theoretical MAs. But, it does not mean that low-efficiency machines are of limited use. An automobile jack, for example, have to overcome a great deal of friction and therefore it has low efficiency. But still, it is extremely valuable because small effort can be applied to lift a great weight.

Also, in another way the mechanical advantage is the force generated by a machine to the force applied to it which is applied in assessing the performance of the machine.

The mechanical advantage formula is:

MA = FBFA

Explanation:

MAmechanical advantageFBthe force of the object

FAthe effort to overcome the force

Write a C program that will update a bank balance. A user cannot withdraw an amount ofmoney that is more than the current balanc
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sample output:

BANK ACCOUT PROGRAM!

----------------------------------

Enter the old balance: 1234.50

Enter the transactions now.

Enter an F for the transaction type when you are finished.

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): D

Amount: 568.34

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): W

Amount: 25.68

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): W

Amount: 167.40

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): F

Your ending balance is $1609.76

Program is ending

Code to copy:

// include the necessary header files.

#include<stdio.h>

// Definition of the function

float withdraw(float account_balance, float withdraw_amount)

{

// Calculate the balace amount.

float balance_amount = account_balance - withdraw_amount;

// Check whether the withdraw amount

// is greater than 0 or not.

if (withdraw_amount > 0 && balance_amount >= 0)

{

// Assign value.

account_balance = balance_amount;

}

// return account_balance

return account_balance;

}

// Definition of the function deposit.

float deposit(float account_balance, float deposit_amount)

{

// Check whether the deposit amount is greater than zero

if (deposit_amount > 0)

{

// Update account balance.

account_balance = account_balance + deposit_amount;

}

// return account balance.

return account_balance;

}

int main()

{

// Declare the variables.

float account_balance;

float deposit_amount;

float withdrawl_amount;

char input;

// display the statement on console.

printf("BANK ACCOUT PROGRAM!\n");

printf("----------------------------------\n");

// prompt the user to enter the old balance.

printf("Enter the old balance: ");

// Input balance

scanf("%f", &account_balance);

// Display the statement on console.

printf("Enter the transactions now.\n");

printf("Enter an F for the transaction type when you are finished.\n");

// Start the do while loop

do

{

// prompt the user to enter transaction type.

printf("Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): ");

// Input type.

scanf(" %c", &input);

// Check if the input is D

if (input == 'D')

{

// Prompt the user to input amount.

printf("Amount: ");

// input amount.

scanf("%f", &deposit_amount);

// Call to the function.

account_balance=deposit(account_balance,deposit_amount);

}

// Check if the input is W

if (input == 'W')

{

printf("Amount: ");

scanf("%f", &withdrawl_amount);

// Call to the function.

account_balance = withdraw(account_balance,withdrawl_amount);

}

// Check if the input is F

if (input == 'F')

{

// Dispplay the amount.

printf("Your ending balance is $%.2f\n", account_balance);

printf("Program is ending\n");

}

// End the while loop

} while(input != 'F');

return 0;

}

How many hours should I charge a 4.8v 600mah battery (I need it by today please)
prohojiy [21]

The number of hours that will be needed to charge a 600mah battery will be 1.5 hours.

<h3>What is a battery?</h3>

It should be noted that an electric battery simply means a source of electric power that consist of one or more electrochemical cells that are with external connections that are important for powering electrical devices.

It should be noted that when a battery is supplying power, then the positive terminal is the cathode while the negative terminal is the anode.

In conclusion, the number of hours that will be needed to charge a 600mah battery will be 1.5 hours.

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría
liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es 0.820196

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

X: '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante (p=0.85) y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a X como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

X ~ Bi(n,p) en donde ''n'' es el número de personas entrevistadas y ''p'' es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.

Utilizando los datos ⇒ X ~ Bi(10,0.85)

La función de probabilidad de la variable aleatoria binomial es :

p_{X}(x)=P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&x\end{array}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}    con x=0,1,2,...,n

Si reemplazamos los datos de la pregunta en la función de probabilidad obtenemos :

P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}10&x\end{array}\right)(0.85)^{x}(0.15)^{10-x} con x=0,1,2,...,10

Nos piden la probabilidad de que por lo menos 8 personas adquieran el nuevo producto, esto es :

P(X\geq 8)=P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)

Calculando P(X=8), P(X=9) y P(X=10) por separado y sumando, obtenemos que P(X\geq 8)=0.820196
