Answer:

92.12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the poisson probability relation :

P(X =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) / x!

For no calls to be reveived during the period, x = 0

P(X = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^0) / 0!

P(X = 0) = 0.1

0.1 = (e^-λ * λ^0) / 0!

0.1 = e^-λ

Take the In of both sides

In(0.1) = - λ

-2.303 = - λ

λ = 2.303

The length of call in second, l

l = λ / r ; r = arrival rate

r = 90 per hour ; this means ;

90 / 3600 = 0.025

l = 2.303 / 0.025

l = 92.12 seconds

When two 6-sided dice are rolled, there are 36 possible outcomes. Find the probability that the sum is 8
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the outcome that a  event will occur

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since two sided dice are rolled, the total outcome will be expressed as;

Total outcome = 36

Since we are to find the probability that the sum is 8, the values that gives a sum of 8a re;

(2,6)(6,2), (5, 3), (3,5), (4, 4)

The expected outcome = 5

Probability = 5/36

Hence the probability that the sum is 8 is 5/36

Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.5 miles/ 10 minutes* (60 minutes/ 1 hour)= 3 miles/hour.


0.25 miles/ 6 minutes* (60 minutes/ 1 hour)= 2.5 miles/hour.


The unit rate of Ron is 3 miles/hour.

The unit rate of Steve is 2.5 miles/hour.

Therefore, Ron walks faster~
