Answer:

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during a time-period, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

A service center receives an average of 0.6 customer complaints per hour.

This means that \mu = 0.6h, in which h is the number of hours.

Determine the probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

8 hours means that h = 8, \mu = 0.6(8) = 4.8.

The probability is P(X = 4).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.18203

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

Answer:

x = abc/  (a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

x/a + x/b = c

Multiply by ab to get rid of the fractions

ab(x/a + x/b) = abc

bx + ax = abc

Factor out an x

x( b+a) = abc

Divide each side by (a+b)

x ( a+b)/ (a+b) = abc/  (a+b)

x = abc/  (a+b)

Answer:

Final Value = 58.50 × (1 + 10/100)

Final Value = 58.50 × (1 + 0.1)

Final Value = 58.50 × (1.1)

Final Value = 64.35

Answer:

$1000 ; 500 ; 1000 ; y = 500x + 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, the initial deposit which started the savings account is $1000 ; this is the value on the y - intercept, the value in the account at time or period = 0.

The slope :

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 1000

x2 = 6 ; y2 = 4000

Slope = Rise / Run

Rise = y2 - y1 = 4000 - 1000 = 3000

Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 0 = 6

Hence,

Slope = 3000 / 6

Slope = 500

y - intercept = 1000 (from. Graph)

Equation in slope intercept form:

General form : y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = intercept

Equation is written as ;

y = 500x + 1000
