Answer:
a) 0.125
b) 7
c) 0.875 hr
d) 1 hr
e) 0.875
Step-by-step explanation:l
Given:
Arrival rate, λ = 7
Service rate, μ = 8
a) probability that no requests for assistance are in the system (system is idle).
Let's first find p.
a) ρ = λ/μ

Probability that the system is idle =
1 - p
= 1 - 0.875
=0.125
probability that no requests for assistance are in the system is 0.125
b) average number of requests that will be waiting for service will be given as:
λ/(μ - λ)
= 7
(c) Average time in minutes before service
= λ/[μ(μ - λ)]
= 0.875 hour
(d) average time at the reference desk in minutes.
Average time in the system js given as: 1/(μ - λ)

= 1 hour
(e) Probability that a new arrival has to wait for service will be:
λ/μ =
= 0.875
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
To simplify the polynomial we must eliminate the parentheses
by definition


I hope it helps
Have a great day
Use the distributive property to multiply the two sets of parentheses. You should have learned this in Algebra 1.
if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
