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.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  - 14x + 48 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6x -8 x + 48 = 0 \\ x(x - 6) - 8(x - 6) = 0 \\ (x - 6)(x - 8) = 0 \\ \boxed{ x = 6\: and \: 8}

  • 4) <em><u>6 and 8</u></em> is the right answer.
