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

german

Answer:

  • Line

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 5x - 2 is slope-intercept form of linear function.

  • The shape of the graph is the line

It has positive slope of 5, therefore is increasing function, the line goes up from left to right on the coordinate plane

What is the horizontal distance between the two points (-7,-4) and (12,-4)? Remember that distance is always positive! Hint: The
RSB [31]
<h3>Answer: 19</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Plot -7 and 12 on the number line. Draw in the tickmarks between them. You should find the distance from -7 to 12 is 19 units since you need to go 19 spaces from either -7 to 12, or vice versa.

You can use subtraction to get

-7-12 = -19

or

12-(-7) = 12+7 = 19

The final result is made positive since negative distance does not make sense.

So you'd have |-7-12| = |-19| = 19 or |12-(-7)| = |19| = 19.

All of this only works because the two y coordinates are the same, which makes a horizontal line through the two given points.

Please help me with this and find x!! Thank you, only if you know!
scoray [572]

Answer:

x = 9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

to find x, use pythagorean theorem

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}

a^{2} = 14^{2}  - 10^{2}

a^{2} = 196 - 100

a^{2} = 96

\sqrt{a^2} = \sqrt{96}

a = 9.7979 ⇒ 9.8
