Find the missing term: 1, 1.5, x, 2.5, 3,

A salesperson contacts eight potential customers per day. From past experience, we know that the probability of a potential cust

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

(a) The probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b) The probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(c) The percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is 43.05%.

(d) The expected number of sales per day is 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of sales made by the salesperson.

The probability that a potential customer makes a purchase is 0.10.

The salesperson contacts n = 8 potential customers per day.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={8\choose x}0.10^{x}(1-0.10)^{8-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day as follows:

$P(X=2)={8\choose 2}0.10^{2}(1-0.10)^{8-2}\\=28\times 0.01\times 0.5314\\=0.1488$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}-{8\choose 1}0.10^{1}(1-0.10)^{8-1}\\=1-0.4305-0.3826\\=0.1869$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(c)

Compute the probability that a salesperson does not makes a sale is:

$P(X=0)={8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}\\=8\times 1\times 0.4305\\=0.4305$

The percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is,

0.4305 × 100 = 43.05%

Thus, the percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is 43.05%.

(d)

Compute the expected number of sales per day as follows:

$E(X)=np=8\times 0.10=0.80$

Thus, the expected number of sales per day is 0.80.

A cone has a radius of 5 ft and a height of 15 ft. It is empty and is being filled with water at a constant rate of 15 15 ft 3 f

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$\frac{dr}{dt}=0.11062ft/sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius $r=5ft$

Height $H=15ft$

Rate $R=15ft/3sec =5ft/s$

Surface Radius $R_{surf}=2.2ft$

Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi*r^2h$

Since radius to height ratio gives

$\frac{r}{h}=\frac{5}{15}$

$\frac{r}{h}=\frac{1}{3}$

$h=3r$

Therefore

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi*r^2(3r)$

$V=\pi r^3$

Generally the equation for Change of Volume is mathematically given by

$\frac{dv}{dt}=\pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^3)$

$\frac{dv}{dt}=\pi 3*r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dv}{dt}=\pi 3*(2.2)^2 \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{5}{45.62}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=0.11062ft/sec$
