Cars arrive at a toll booth according to a Poisson process with mean 90 cars per hour. Suppose the attendant makes a phone call.

How long, in seconds, can the attendant's phone call last if the probability is at least 0.1 that no cars arrive during the call

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

Evaluate the expression:<br><br> for y = 2 + 3x when x=4. What does y=?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 as x into the equation:

y = 2 + 3x

y = 2 + 3(4)

Simplify:

y = 2 + 12

y = 14

So, when x = 4, y = 14.

Gina looks at the architectural plan of a four-walled room in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length of one
masha68 [24]
If the shape of the room is a square, then the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides will give the diagonal.

i.e.

\sqrt{17^2+17^2} = \sqrt{2(17^2)}  \\  \\ = \sqrt{2(289)} = \sqrt{578} =24.04

Since the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides is 24.04 and not 18.79, therefore, the shape of the room is not a square.

Divide and simplify. √36 x⁴ / √9 x⁶
Vikki [24]

The divide and simplify of the equation √36 x⁴ / √9 x⁶ will result to  \frac{2}{x^{2} }

Let's begin by simplifying the equation;

Simplify the equation by finding the square root of both 36 and 9

The square root of 36= 6

The square root of 9= 3

= \frac{6x^{4} }{3x^{6} }

The above equation can also be written as;

=  6x^{4}  * 3x^{-6}

The next step is to solve the powers, that is,

=   \frac{6x^{4} }{3x^{6} }

Cancel out 6 by 3 and get  2

The result is,  

=  \frac{2}{x^{6-4} }

The final submission result is,

=  \frac{2}{x^{2} }
