Answer: a) probability = 0.195

b) probability = 0.2381

c) expected number = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable which shows the number of calls in 20 minutes. Since credit card customer service center receives a phone call every 5 minutes on average, given X has Poisson distribution with parameter λ = (1/5)*20 = 4 call per 20 minutes.

Given that t = 20

a)  

The probability that she receives 3 phone calls in 20 minutes is

      P(X=3) = [ e∧-λt (λt)3 ] / 3ḷ

      P(X-3) = [e∧-20/5 (20/5)3] / 3ḷ = 0.195

b)

The probability that she receives fewer than 3 phone calls in 20 minutes is

P(X˂3) = ∑_(x=0)^2▒ (e∧-4×4x) / xḷ = 0.2381

c)

The expected number of phone calls she receives in 20 minutes is

  E(X) = λ = 4

   i.e.

   λ = 1/5 * 20 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See Attachment for given

Required

What's Chen error

Chen error is at step 2 where he changed 0.9 to 9.

Any changes made on the divisor must also be made on the dividend

He got 9 by multiplying 0.9 by 10;

So, his mistake is that he should have multiplied both numbers by the same number.

From the list of given options, the option that best answer this question is He should have multiplied both numbers by 100

When 27x^2z/-3x^2z^6 is completely simplified, the exponent on the variable z is _____.
Savatey [412]
<span>The expression given (27x^2)z/(-3x^2)(z^6), can be simplify as below:

 By properties of powers, if you have the same base, you can substract the exponents. Then:

 =(</span>27x^2)z/(-3x^2)(z^6)
 =-9z/z^6  (As you can see: x^2-2= x^0=1)
 =-9/z^5    (Then, z^6-1=z^5)
<span>
 Therefore, the answer is: The exponent on the variable z is 5.</span>

You work forty hours a week at a furniture store. You receive a 1,200 dollar weekly salary, plus a 4.1% commision on sales over
Pachacha [2.7K]
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.

And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)

So, if  f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].

Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).

Answer: [ f o g] (x)
