Marty's barber shop has one barber. Customers arrive at a rate of 2.2 per hour and haircuts are given at a rate of 5 customers p

er hour. Assume a Poisson arrival rate and an Exponential service time distribution.
Required:
a. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting?
b. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting?
c. What is the probability that more than two customers are waiting?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrival rate = ∧ = 2.2 customers per hour  

Service rate = u = 5 customers per hour  

1. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting  

P(2 customers)=(∧/u)^2 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^2 * (1-2.2/5)=0.1936*0.56= 0.108416

 

2. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting  

P(3 customers)= (∧/u)^3 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^3 * (1-2.2/5)= 0.085184  

* 0.56= 0.04770304

 

3. Probability that more than two customers are waiting  

P(more than 3 customers)=1- P(less than 3 customers) =  

1- [P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)]=  

= 1- [(1-2.2/5) +2.2/5*(1- 2.2/5) + 0.108416+0.04770304]=1-0.9625=0.0375

Help please..! I need the answer to this thank you.

1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.

2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"

3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.

4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.

5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.

What must you assume when you use a rate for a prediction? (Please Help!! I'm in 6th grade and this is math.)
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

For anything to do with force you have to assume an even amount of force is spread out evenly. But for things like growing rate you have all those variables so you can't assume a constant growing rate like acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps (:

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (-9a^3b^2c^10)^0
Flauer [41]

Option C: 1 is the simplification of the expression \left(-9 a^{3} b^{2} c^{10}\right)^{0}

Explanation:

The given expression is \left(-9 a^{3} b^{2} c^{10}\right)^{0}

We need to simplify the given expression.

<u>Simplification:</u>

To simplify the given expression, let us apply the exponent rule, a^{0}=1 where a \neq 0

Thus, the the exponent rule a^{0}=1 means that any value (except zero) to the power of zero is equal to one.

Thus, the expression \left(-9 a^{3} b^{2} c^{10}\right)^{0} becomes,

\left(-9 a^{3} b^{2} c^{10}\right)^{0}=1

Therefore, the simplified expression is 1

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
