An automatic car wash takes exactly 5 minutes to wash a car. On average, 10 cars per hour arrive at the car wash. Suppose that,

30 minutes before closing time, five cars are in line. If the number of cars in any time interval follows a Poisson distribution, and if the car was is in continuous operation until closing time, what is the probability that anyone will be in line at closing time

Answer:

0.9595724

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to wash a car (μ) = 5 minutes

Hence, Number of cars washed per hour = 60/5 = 12 cars

If 5 cars arrive, 30 minutes to closing ; it takes 25 minutes to finish up ;

If 1 more car arrives, then it takes exactly 30 minutes

Hence, there will be no one in line at closing ;

IF 0 or 1 car arrives, if more than 1 car arrives, then there will be people in line at closing.

Hence, probability of waiting in line at closing :

1 - [p(0) + p(1)]

Using poisson :

P(x) = [(e^-μ) * (μ^x)] / x!

If x = 0

P(0) = [(e^-5) * (5^0)] / 0!

P(0) = (0.0067379 * 1) / 1

P(0) = 0.0067379

X = 1

P(1) = [(e^-5) * (5^1)] / 1!

P(0) = (0.0067379 * 5) / 1

P(0) = 0.0336897

Hence,

1 - (0.0067379 + 0.0336897)

1 - 0.0404276

= 0.9595724

Hence, the probability that anyone would be in the car washing line after closing is 0.9595724

K = mv / 2 solve for m . HELP PLEASE HURRY!
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

  m = 2k/v

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the coefficient of m (v/2) and multiply by its inverse (2/v).

  (2/v)k = (2/v)m(v/2) . . . . multiply both sides of the equation by 2/v

  2k/v = m . . . simplify

  m = 2k/v
