Answer:

The average number of service calls in a 15-minute period is of 14, with a standard deviation of 3.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

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. The variance is the same as the mean.

Average rate of 56 calls per hour:

This means that \mu = 56n, in which n is the number of hours.

Find the average and standard deviation of the number of service calls in a 15-minute period.

15 minute is one fourth of a hour, which means that n = \frac{1}{4}. So

\mu = 56n = \frac{56}{4} = 14

The variance is also 14, which means that the standard deviation is \sqrt{14} = 3.74

The average number of service calls in a 15-minute period is of 14, with a standard deviation of 3.74.

select the correct answer. and the figure, angle k measures 45°. what is the measurement of angle c? 38° 45° 90° 98°.
LuckyWell [14K]

From the figure, we can conclude that the little triangle is an isosceles triangle, the greatest angle is 90 because ∠A = 90 and they are supplementary, therefore, using the triangle sum theorem:

\begin{gathered} m\angle J=m\angle K \\ m\angle K+m\angle K+90=180 \\ 2m\angle K=180-90 \\ 2m\angle K=90 \\ m\angle K=\frac{90}{2} \\ m\angle K=45 \end{gathered}
