An internet service provider is implementing a new program based on the number of connected devices in each household. Currently
, customers are charged a flat rate of $175 per month. The new plan would charge a flat rate of $94 plus an additional $4.50 per device connected to the network. Find and graph the number of devices, x, for which the cost of the new plan is less than the current plan.
2 answers:
The current rate is simply equal to $175 per month, let us call this as rate A:
A = 175
The new rate is $94 plus $4.50 per devices, let us call this as rate B:
B = 94 + 4.50 x
where x is the number of devices connected to the network
The inequality equation for us to find x which the new plan is less than current plan is:
94 + 4.50 x < 175
Solving for x:
4.50 x < 81
x < 18
So the number of devices must be less than 18.
- From the graph, we can actually see that the new rate intersects the current rate at number of devices equal to 18. So it should really be below 18 devices.

Consider the coordinate plane:
1. The origin is the point where Sharon and Jacob started - (0,0).
2. North - positive y-direction, south - negetive y-direction.
3. East - positive x-direction, west - negative x-direction.
Then,
- if Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west, the point where he is now has coordinates (-4,3);
- if Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east, the point where she is now has coordinates (12,-5).
The distance between two points with coordinates and
can be calculated using formula
Therefore, the distance between Jacob and Sharon is
Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.
Let X = caller times at a customer service center
The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;
Here, = exponential parameter
Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;
Mean =
So, ⇒
SO, X ~ Exp()
To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;
; x > 0
Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)
P(X < 30) =
= 1 - 0.2557
= 0.7443
