Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. You could use your calculator to find out the decimal numbers that are equivalent to the two given fractions. Then check which one of the givens falls between these two numbers. I wouldn't do it that way -- not when you are told that the answer has 56 as the denominator. So ...

The best way to do it is to change the two givens so that they have a denominator of 56

3/7 = 3*8/7*8 = 24 / 56

7*7 / 7*8 = 49 / 46

So you need a number that is between 49 and 24

There is only one 27 / 56

Answer:

a) 0.125

b) 7

c) 0.875 hr

d) 1 hr

e) 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:l

Given:

Arrival rate, λ = 7

Service rate, μ = 8

a) probability that no requests for assistance are in the system (system is idle).

Let's first find p.

a) ρ = λ/μ

$\frac{7}{8} = 0.875$

Probability that the system is idle =

1 - p

= 1 - 0.875

=0.125

probability that no requests for assistance are in the system is 0.125

b) average number of requests that will be waiting for service will be given as:

λ/(μ - λ)

$= \frac{7}{8 - 7}$

= 7

= λ/[μ(μ - λ)]

$= \frac{7}{8(8 - 7)}$

= 0.875 hour

(d) average time at the reference desk in minutes.

Average time in the system js given as: 1/(μ - λ)

$= \frac{1}{(8 - 7)}$

= 1 hour

(e) Probability that a new arrival has to wait for service will be:

λ/μ =

${7}{8}$

= 0.875

Elodia [21]

the expression for mean in this case is

$50 = \frac{1}{5}(d + 20 + 75 + 20 + 90) = \frac{1}{5}(d+205)$

with d standing for expenditure in December. Now solve for d:

$250 = d + 205\\d = 45$

The student has to spend $45 to meet his goal.
