Answer:

The number of minutes advertisement should use is found.

x ≅ 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)

<h3 /><h3>Step 1</h3>

For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.

Probability Density Function is given by:

f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t

Consider the second function:

f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\

Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5

The function f(t) becomes

f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}

<h3>Step 2</h3>

The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01

The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:

\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt

which is equal to 0.01

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Solve the equation for x

\int\limits^{\infty}_x {0.4e^{-0.4t}} \, dt =0.01\\\\\frac{0.4e^{-0.4t}}{-0.4}=0.01\\\\-e^{-0.4t} |^\infty_x =0.01\\\\e^{-0.4x}=0.01

Take natural log on both sides

ln (e^{-0.4x})=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=-4.61\\x= 11.53

<h3>Results</h3>

The costumer has to wait x = 11.53 mins ≅ 12 mins to get a free hamburger

I dont understand the question
Nonamiya [84]
<h3>Answer: Choice C)   x^4 - 2</h3>

Explanation:

If the exponent is negative, then that means we apply the reciprocal. So something like x^(-2) becomes 1/(x^2). A polynomial cannot have a variable in the denominator like this. So we can rule out choices A, B, and D. Choice C is the only thing left. It is a polynomial because the exponent is a positive whole number.

Why is 1/2 of 2 equals one whole
algol [13]
Hey There :)

This is because one is half of two. You could also multiply 2 * 0.5= 1, 0.5 represents \frac{1}{2} and two is the whole number. This is how \frac{1}{2} of two equals one.
