Answer:

Each poet reads for exactly 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it should run for 90 minutes, and there is 6 poets, therefore I'm pretty sure you divide 90 by 6, which is 15.

Each side of a square is increased by 3 inches. The perimeter of the new square is 40 inches more than twice the length of the s
RUDIKE [14]

Length of side of new square is 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x

Perimeter of a square = 4 × side

⇒ 4(x + 3) = 40 + 2x

⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x

⇒ 2x = 28

⇒ x = 14 inches

  • Step 2: Find length of side of the new square

⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches

The manager wants to advertise that anybody who isn't served within a certain number of minutes gets a free hamburger. But she d
aksik [14]

Answer:

The number of minutes advertisement should use is found.

x ≅ 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

(MISSING PART OF THE QUESTION: AVERAGE WAITING TIME = 2.5 MINUTES)

<h3 /><h3>Step 1</h3>

For such problems, we can use probability density function, in which probability is found out by taking integral of a function across an interval.

Probability Density Function is given by:

f(t)=\left \{ {{0 ,\-t

Consider the second function:

f(t)=\frac{e^{-t/\mu}}{\mu}\\

Where Average waiting time = μ = 2.5

The function f(t) becomes

f(t)=0.4e^{-0.4t}

<h3>Step 2</h3>

The manager wants to give free hamburgers to only 1% of her costumers, which means that probability of a costumer getting a free hamburger is 0.01

The probability that a costumer has to wait for more than x minutes is:

\int\limits^\infty_x {f(t)} \, dt= \int\limits^\infty_x {}0.4e^{-0.4t}dt

which is equal to 0.01

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Solve the equation for x

\int\limits^{\infty}_x {0.4e^{-0.4t}} \, dt =0.01\\\\\frac{0.4e^{-0.4t}}{-0.4}=0.01\\\\-e^{-0.4t} |^\infty_x =0.01\\\\e^{-0.4x}=0.01

Take natural log on both sides

ln (e^{-0.4x})=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=ln(0.01)\\-0.4x=-4.61\\x= 11.53

<h3>Results</h3>

The costumer has to wait x = 11.53 mins ≅ 12 mins to get a free hamburger

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Shane hits 5 HRs out of 100 At-bats,

\frac{x}{460}  = \frac{5}{100} \\\frac{x}{460} (460) = \frac{5}{100} (460)\\x = 23
