Answer:

She has 5 candles left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of candy Sarah has = 25candies

If Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister, the total amount she gave her sister will be 2/5 of 25

2/5 of 25 = 10

The remaining candy left will be 25-10 which is 15.

If she gave 2/3 of the amount left to her friend, the amount she gave her friend will be 2/3×15 = 10candies.

The various answers to the question are:

  • To answer 90% of calls instantly, the organization needs four extension lines.
  • The average number of extension lines that will be busy is Four
  • For the existing phone system with two extension lines, 34.25 % of calls get a busy signal.

<h3>How many extension lines should be used if the company wants to handle 90% of the calls immediately?</h3>

a)

A number of extension lines needed to accommodate $90 in calls immediately:

Use the calculation for busy k servers.

$$P_{j}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{j}}{j !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{k} \frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{t}}{i !}}$$

The probability that 2 servers are busy:

The likelihood that 2 servers will be busy may be calculated using the formula below.

P_{2}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{2}}{2 !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{2} \frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{t}}{i !}}$$\approx 0.3425$

Hence, two lines are insufficient.

The probability that 3 servers are busy:

Assuming 3 lines, the likelihood that 3 servers are busy may be calculated using the formula below.

P_{j}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{j}}{j !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{2} \frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{i}}{i !}}$ \\\\$P_{3}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{3}}{3 !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{3} \frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{1}}{i !}}$$\approx 0.1598$

Thus, three lines are insufficient.

The probability that 4 servers are busy:

Assuming 4 lines, the likelihood that 4 of 4 servers are busy may be calculated using the formula below.

P_{j}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{j}}{j !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{k} \frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{t}}{i !}}$ \\\\$P_{4}=\frac{\frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{4}}{4 !}}{\sum_{i=0}^{4} \frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{7}}{i !}}$

Generally, the equation for is  mathematically given as

To answer 90% of calls instantly, the organization needs four extension lines.

b)

The probability that a call will receive a busy signal if four extensions lines are used is,

P_{4}=\frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{4}}{\sum_{i=0}^{4} \frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{1}}{i !}} $\approx 0.0624$

Therefore, the average number of extension lines that will be busy is Four

c)

In conclusion, the Percentage of busy calls for a phone system with two extensions:

The likelihood that 2 servers will be busy may be calculated using the formula below.

P_{j}=\frac{\left(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\right)^{j}}{j !}$$\\\\$P_{2}=\frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{2}}{\sum_{i=0}^{2 !} \frac{\left(\frac{20}{12}\right)^{t}}{i !}}$$\approx 0.3425$

For the existing phone system with two extension lines, 34.25 % of calls get a busy signal.

Two consecutive even integers have the following property. When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer,
polet [3.4K]
 let x be the first integer
 x+ 2 the second integer  ( two consecutive even ) 

smaller integer  added to three times the larger  <span>x + 3 ( x+2)
  </span>two less than five times the smaller  <span>5x - 2</span>

x + 3 ( x+2)   =  5x - 2

x+3x +6 = 5x -2 

x=8       
the first  integer = 8
the second is  x+2 =10

Yes, set up your proportion: x/21 = 10/14
Cross multiply 14x = 210
Divide both sides by 14 and x= 15 cm
