Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate lambda = 0.6 per hour.

The fisherman will keep fishing for two hours.

Since he continues till he gets atleast one fish, we can calculate probability as follows:

(a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours.

= Prob (x=0) in I two hours and P(X≥1) in 3rd hour

=P(x=0)*P(X=0)*P(X≥1) (since each hour is independent of the other)

= $0.5488^2*(1-0.8781)\\\\=0.2645$

(b) Find the probability that the total time he spends fishing is between two and five hours.

Prob that he does not get fish in I two hours * prob he gets fish between 3 and 5 hours

= $P(0)^2 *F(1)^3\\=0.5488^2*0.2645^3\\=0.00557$

(c) Find the expected number offish that he catches.

Expected value in Geometric distribution = $\frac{1-p}{p}$ , where p = prob of getting 1 fish in one hour

= $\frac{0.6}{1-0.6} \\=3$

(d) Find the expected total fishing time, given that he has been fishing for four hours.

= Expected fishing time total/expected fishing time for 4 hours

=3/0.6*4

= 1.25 hours

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Company A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

For company A- 170 is the cost for one hour

For company B- 170 is the cost for one hour

For company C- 175 is the cost for one hour

So company A and B offer the best deal since they both offer $170 per hour.

Evaluate ∫SF⃗ ⋅dA⃗ , where F⃗ =(bx/a)i⃗ +(ay/b)j⃗ and S is the elliptic cylinder oriented away from the z-axis, and given by x2/

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Therefore surface integral is $\pi(a^2+b^2)c-0-0=\pi(a^2+b^2)c$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

$\vec{F}=\frac{bx}{a}\uvec{i}+\frac{ay}{b}\uvec{j}$

To find,

$\int\int_{S}\vec{F}dS$

where S=A=surfece of elliptic cylinder we have to apply Divergence theorem so that,

$\int\int_{S}\vec{F}dS$

$=\int\int\int_V\nabla.\vec{F}dV$

$=\int\int\int_V(\frac{b}{a}+\frac{a}{b})dV$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\int\int\int_VdV$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\times \textit{Volume of the elliptic cylinder}$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\times \pi ab\times 2c=\pi (a^2+b^2)c$

If unit vector $\cap{n}$ directed in positive (outward) direction then z=c and,

$\int\int_{S_1}\vex{F}.dS_1=\int\int_{S_1} . dA$

$=\int\int_{S_1}.dA=0$

If unit vector $\cap{n}$ directed in negative (inward) direction then z=-c and,

$\int\int_{S_2}\vex{F}.dS_2=\int\int_{S_2}. -dA$

$=\int\int_{S_2}. -dA=0$

Therefore surface integral without unit vector of the surface is,

$\pi(a^2+b^2)c-0-0=\pi(a^2+b^2)c$

in the figure p is the incenter of isosceles rst what type of triangle is rpt? Thank you in advance .

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$\Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the triangle RST,

$RS=ST\ \ \ \Rightarrow m\angle SRT=m\angle STR$

Because if in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.

Incenter is obtained by the Intersection of a triangle's three angle bisectors and it is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.

So, RP and TP are the angle bisectors of ∠R and ∠T respectively.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{m\angle SRT}{2}=\dfrac{m\angle STR}{2}$

$\Rightarrow m\angle PRT=m\angle PTR$

$\Rightarrow PR=PT$

$\Rightarrow \Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}$
