Using the exponential distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4462 = 44.62% probability that a customer waits less than 39 seconds.

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:  

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

In this problem, <u>mean of 66 seconds</u>, hence, the decay parameter is:

\mu = \frac{1}{66}

The probability <u>that a customer waits less than 39 seconds</u> is:

P(X \leq 39) = 1 - e^{-\frac{39}{66}} = 0.4462

0.4462 = 44.62% probability that a customer waits less than 39 seconds.

The equation of three other functions are given which function or functions have a slope equal to the slope of Function 1
ratelena [41]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Function(s) with the same slope as function 1

The question is incomplete as function 1 and the three additional functions are not given.

However, I will provide a general explanation.

A slope is represented as:

y = mx + b

Where

m \to slope

So, considering the following equations

y = 2x + 3

y = \frac{3x}{2} + 9

y = 2x - 5

y = -2x + 3

The following equations have the same slope

y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x - 5

Because: y = mx + b implies that:

m = 2 for y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x - 5

In circle O, AD and BE are diameters. What is MAE?
liraira [26]

Answer:

132°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠AOB = ∠EOD = 3x ( vertical angles )

∠AOB + ∠BOC = 90, that is

3x + 0.5x + 34 = 90

3.5x + 34 = 90 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

3.5x = 56 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )

x = 16

∠AOE + ∠EOD = 180 ( straight angle )

∠AOE + 3x = 180

∠AOE + (3 × 16) = 180

∠AOE + 48 = 180 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

∠AOE = 132°
