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

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus chose the rectangles 68% of the time. From this observation you can tell that the octopus has learned there is food under the rectangular shape. Its cognitive abilities are less than a human's, but they are able to discern a rectangle from a circle with success.

Good luck ^^
