Sarah is 8 years older than Tanya. Sarah's age is also 5/4 of Tanya's age. How old is each person?

1 answer:

3 0

S = t + 8
s = 5/4t

t + 8 = 5/4t
8 = 5/4t - t
8 = 5/4t - 4/4t
8 = 1/4t
8 * 4 = t
32 = t <=== tanya's age

s = t + 8
s = 32 + 8
s = 40 <== sarah's age

The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential probability distribution with a m

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) 50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

b) 24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Mean of 10 minutes:

This means that $m = 10, \mu = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

A. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less?

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

50.34% probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less.

B. What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes?

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3)$

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

$P(X \leq 7) = 1 - e^{-0.1*7} = 0.5034$

$P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-0.1*3} = 0.2592$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X \leq 7) - P(X \leq 3) = 0.5034 - 0.2592 = 0.2442$

24.42% probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes

56+3<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=56%20%2B%203%20%3D%20" id="TexFormula1" title="56 + 3 = " alt="56 + 3 = " align="absmi

tangare [24]

sorry if I'm wrong. I got confused because you put 56+3 twice.×= 63
56+3=59=x-4 (this is with subtraction sign)

I didnt know if that a subtracting or negative so here both

56+3=x-4 (this is with the negative sign)
x= -14.75

I think the answer would be

X=1.5
Y= -10 or -12 or 12

Sorry I'm not sure
