Answer:

a) 0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) 0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) The length of time is 0.63 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Orders arrive at a Web site according to a Poisson process with a mean of 11 per hour.

This means that \mu = 11h, in which h is the number of hours.

a) Probability of no orders in five minutes.

Five minutes means that h = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12}, so \mu = \frac{11}{12} = 0.9167

This probability is P(X = 0). So

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984

0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) Probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

This is:

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)

In which

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

So

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.36653

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.168

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.39984 + 0.36653 + 0.168 = 0.93437

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.93437 = 0.06563

0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) Length of a time interval such that the probability of no orders in an interval of this length is 0.001.

This is h for which:

P(X = 0) = 0.001

We have that:

P(X = 0) = e^{-\mu}

And

\mu = 11h

So

P(X = 0) = 0.001

e^{-11h} = 0.001

\ln{e^{-11h}} = \ln{0.001}

-11h = \ln{0.001}

h =-\frac{\ln{0.001}}{11}

h = 0.63

The length of time is 0.63 hours

A bowl has only red, green, and purple grapes. The probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picki
Xelga [282]

The probability of picking a green grape is 1/2.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.

Since the probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picking a green grape out of the bowl is 1/8 and probability of picking just a red grape is 1/4 .

The probability of green grape will be the division. This will be:

= P(R and G) / P(R)

= 1/8 ÷ 1/4

= 1/8 × 4/1

= 1/2

The probability is 1/2.

The volume of a cone is 108 pi cubic inches. Its height is 4 inches. What is the radius of the cone? Round answer to nearest ten
leonid [27]

\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -----\\ V=108\pi \\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies 108\pi =\cfrac{\pi r^2(4)}{3}\implies 324\pi =4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{324\pi }{4\pi }=r^2\implies 81=r^2\implies \sqrt{81}=r\implies 9=r

A rectangular rug has an area of 1 4/5 square yards. The width of the rug is 1 1/2 yards. What is the length,in yards,of the rug
vichka [17]

Answer:

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the length by the width to find area, then you can divide the area by the width to find the length.


1\frac{4}{5} ÷ 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.2
