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

How to solve I can’t do it
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

10.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is calculated by using the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}sum(xi -x)^2}

This means that N is the total number of cases you want to take into account, times the sum of x at the ith position - x squared.

In other words, the standard deviation in your example implies the following:

26 is the first value, so i = 1, 34 is the second value, so i = 2, 18 where i = 3, and so on and so forth, until you reach the end, which is 6 (so the initial value is 1 and the last one is 6).

You're doing a sum over an iteration of all the numbers in your sample.

So applying the sum of all of the numbers, it gives us the following:

(26-28)^2+(34 - 28)^2+(18 - 28)^2 ... (41 - 28)^2

= \frac{598}{5} \\=119.6\\

The sum of all of the numbers in your sample is equal to 119.6.

Substitute into the equation once again:

s=\sqrt{119.6}

Where the square root of 119.6 is 10.93617...

Rounded to two decimal places: 10.94

Need help with this problems<br>E=10gh<br>solve for g
Nat2105 [25]
Solve for g:
e = 10 g h
e = 10 g h is equivalent to 10 g h = e:
10 g h = e
Divide both sides by 10 h:
Answer:  g = e/(10 h)

Veronika [31]

Answer:

7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Milton makes a trail mix for his hiking group. He mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 ounces of raisins, 12 ounces of walnuts, and 10 ounces of chocolate chips.

If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group.

Now, to find the ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.

Pound of peanuts = 1\frac{1}{4}.

Now, using conversion factor convert pound into ounces:

1 pounds = 16 ounces.

\frac{5}{4}  pounds = \frac{5}{4} \times 16 = 20\ ounces.

Ounces of peanuts = 20.

Ounces of raisins = 14.

Ounces of walnuts = 12.

Ounces of chocolate chips = 10.

Now, we add all the ounces of peanuts, raisins, walnuts and chocolate chips to get the trail mix:

20+14+12+10\\\\=56\ ounces.

<u><em>Total ounces of trail mix = 56.</em></u>

<u><em>Total number of hikers = 8.</em></u>

As given, Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers.

So, to get the trail mix each hiker receive we divide total number of hikers by total ounces of trail mix:

56\div 8

=7\ ounces.

Therefore, 7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.
