An installation technician for a specialized communication system is dispatched to a city only when 3 or more orders have been p

laced. Suppose the orders follow a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.25 per week for a city with a population of 100,000 and suppose your city contains 800,000.
a. What is the probability that a technician is required after a one-week period?
b. If you are the first one in the city to place an order, what is the probability that you have to wait more than two weeks from the time you place your order until a technician is dispatched?

Answer:

0.3233

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, λ = 0.25 for a 100,000 per week

For a population of 800,000 :

λ = 800,000 / 100,000 * 0.25 = 8 * 0.25 = 2 orders per week

Probability that technician is required after one week ;

After one week, order is beyond 2 ; hence, order, x ≥ 3

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - [p(x=0) + p(x= 1) + p(x =2)]

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-λ(1 + 2¹/1! + 2²/2!)

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2(1+2+2) = 1 - e^-2*5 = 1 - e^-10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - e^-2 * 10

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - 0.6766764

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.3233

B.)

Mean, λ for more than 2 weeks = 2 * 2 = 4

P(x < 2) = p(x = 0) + p(x = 1)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4^1/1!)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(0 + 4) = e^-4(5)

P(x < 2) = e^-4(5) = 0.0183156 * 5 = 0.0915

P(x < 2) = 0.09

What are the best approximations of the solutions to this system?
Scilla [17]

(-1.2,-2.0) and (1.9,2.2) are the best approximations of the solutions to this system.

Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have a graph of two functions from which we need to find the approximate value of common solutions. Let's find this:

First look at where we have intersection points, In first quadrant & in third quadrant.

<u>At first quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point . After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=1.9 and y-axis at y=2.2. So, one point is (1.9,2.2)

<u>At Third quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point. After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=-1.2 and y-axis at y=  -2.0. So, other point is (-1.2,-2.0).

[True]

Natural numbers are the positive integers (whole numbers) such as 1, 2, 3, and etc. So it is true that zero is less than every natural number.

[Hundreds]

The 8 in 30,846 is in the hundreds place because the 8 stands for 800.

docker41 [41]
<h3>Answer:   20 minutes.</h3>

Work Shown:

Estimate = 1.25*(actual time)

Estimate = 1.25*(16)

Estimate = 20

Bryan estimated it would take 20 minutes.

Note: The multiplier 1.25 represents an increase of 25%

Select the correct answer.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Either try all the numbers and see which ones work or do the following.

Times both sides by 2x-5.

3=x(2x-5)=2x^2-5x

Rearrange and solve the quadratic. I will factorise.

2x^2-5x-3=0

(2x+1)(x-3)=0

so x = -1/2 or 3
