Answer:

Find the (r) between adjacent members

a3/a2=+125/+25=5

a4/a3=+625/+125=5

a5/a4=+3125/+625=5

a6/a5=+15625/+3125=5

The ration (r) between every two adjacent members of the series is constant and equal to 5

garri49 [273]

Answer

a. The expected total service time for customers = 70 minutes

b. The variance for the total service time = 700 minutes

c. It is not likely that the total service time will exceed 2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. I will give the complete version below and proceed with my solution.

Refer to Exercise 3.122. If it takes approximately ten minutes to serve each customer, find the mean and variance of the total service time for customers arriving during a 1-hour period. (Assume that a sufficient number of servers are available so that no customer must wait for service.) Is it likely that the total service time will exceed 2.5 hours?

Reference

Customers arrive at a checkout counter in a department store according to a Poisson distribution at an average of seven per hour.

From the information supplied, we denote that

$X=$ Customers that arrive within the hour

and since $X$ follows a Poisson distribution with mean $\alpha$ = 7

Therefore,

$E(X)= 7$

$& V(X)=7$

Let $Y =$ the total service time for customers arriving during the 1 hour period.

Now, since it takes approximately ten minutes to serve each customer,

$Y=10X$

For a random variable $X$ and a constant $c$ ,

$E(cX)=cE(X)\\V(cX)=c^2V(X)$

Thus,

$E(Y)=E(10X)=10E(X)=10*7=70\\V(Y)=V(10X)=100V(X)=100*7=700$

Therefore the expected total service time for customers = 70 minutes

and the variance for serving time = 700 minutes

Also, the probability of the distribution $Y$ is,

$p_Y(y)=p_x(\frac{y}{10} )\frac{dx}{dy} =\frac{\alpha^{\frac{y}{10} } }{(\frac{y}{10})! }e^{-\alpha } \frac{1}{10}\\ =\frac{7^{\frac{y}{10} } }{(\frac{y}{10})! }e^{-7 } \frac{1}{10}$

So the probability that the total service time exceeds 2.5 hrs or 150 minutes is,

$P(Y>150)=\sum^{\infty}_{k=150} {p_Y} (k) =\sum^{\infty}_{k=150} \frac{7^{\frac{k}{10} }}{(\frac{k}{10})! }.e^{-7} .\frac{1}{10} \\=\frac{7^{\frac{150}{10} }}{(\frac{150}{10})! } .e^{-7}.\frac{1}{10} =0.002$

0.002 is small enough, and the function $\frac{7^{\frac{k}{10} }}{(\frac{k}{10} )!} .e^{-7}.\frac{1}{10}$ gets even smaller when $k$ increases. Hence the probability that the total service time exceeds 2.5 hours is not likely to happen.

Find the perimeter of a square with side a. Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional qua

inna [77]

The perimeter of a square with side a = 7.2 cm is 28.8 cm. Yes there exists a direct proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter of square

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that side of square "a" = 7.2 cm

We have to find the perimeter of square

The perimeter of square is given as:

Perimeter of square = 4a

Where "a" represents the length of side of square

Substituting the given value a = 7.2 cm in above formula, we get perimeter of square

Perimeter of square = 4(7.2) = 28.8 cm

Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional quantities?

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { perimeter of square }=4 a=4 \times \text { length of side }} \\\\ {\frac{\text { perimeter of square }}{\text { length of side }}=4}\end{array}$

The Perimeter is equal to a constant times the Side length, or the Perimeter divided by the Side length is equal to four. So this is definitely a proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter.

Two values are said to be in direct proportion when an increase in one results in an increase in the other.

So when length of sides increases, perimeter also increases

Hence perimeter and length of side of square are directly propotional quantities
