Answer:

0.8046

Step-by-step explanation:

We're asked to calculate the probability that the job will be ready by 1.01 pm

From the question, we can note that the parameter of an Exponential is E(X)= 15

Next, to calculate the third job probability, we will have to use Poisson Distribution with parameter 1/λ

Therefore, E(Y) = 1/15

Then, The third job will be ready for 1:01 pm, and thus E(Y) = 61/15

Therefore, the required probability is

P(X ≥ 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)

= 1 - Poisson(3,4, true)

= 1 - 0.1954

= 0.8046

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if x \propto y and x \propto z

then the equation is in the form of:

x = kyz, where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

x=k(yz)           ......[1]

Solve for k;  

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

8=k(4 \cdot 9)

⇒8 = 36k

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

\frac{8}{3}=k

Simplify:

k = \frac{2}{9}

⇒x = \frac{2}{9}yz

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z

⇒16 = \frac{12}{9}z

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

144 = 12z

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

or

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

The area of a square concrete slab is 20 square feet. Find the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increase b
guapka [62]

The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A =  L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased  by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 =   Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

Describe how you regroup when you find the sum of 64+43
damaskus [11]
Here, regrouping is basically carrying. 

64+43 shown vertically would be:

  64
+43
-------
 107
4+3 is 7, so seven is in the ones place, but that's not the point.
60+40 is 100, so you regroup by carrying the one to the hundreds place.

Hope I helped!
