P = 60
l = w + 14

60 = 2(w+14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
width = 8 inches

The number of messages arriving at a multiplexer is a Poisson random variable with mean 15 messages/second. Use the central limi

Mila [183]

Answer:

0.048 is the probability that more than 950 message arrive in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The number of messages arriving at a multiplexer is a Poisson random variable with mean 15 messages/second.

Let X be the number of messages arriving at a multiplexer.

Mean = 15

For poison distribution,

Mean = Variance = 15

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\text{Variance}} = \sqrt{15} = 3.872$

From central limit theorem, we have:

$z = \displaystyle\frac{x-n\mu}{\sigma\sqrt{n}}$

where n is the sample size.

Here, n = 1 minute = 60 seconds

P(x > 950)

$P( x > 950) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{950 - (60)(15)}{\sqrt{(15)(60)}}) = P(z > 1.667)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1.667)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 950) = 1 - 0.952 = 0.048$

0.048 is the probability that more than 950 message arrive in one minute.

marshall27 [118]

1.08 * 0.82y <== ur expression

because 18% off means u r paying 82% of the original price (y).....and the sales tax is 8%...so we multiply 0.82y by 1.08

Eliza brought 3 pans of homemade fruit bars to school. Her classmates ate 7/12 of each pan. Eliza gave 1 whole pan of the leftov

-BARSIC- [3]

To solve this, you have to take 7/12 out of each pan first, so how to do that is to divide each pan into 1/12. So you did that, and all three pans equal 36/12. Great. Eliza has 36/12 fruit bars.
Now, you see that the classmates at 7/12 out of EACH. To find that out, you just multiply 7/12 by 3 which is 21/12. Subtract 21/12 from 36/12 since the classmates ate 21/12 out of the total and you get 15/12.
Now she gave 1 pan to the secretaries, which is 12/12, so you subtract that from the 15/12 you have left over. That's 3/12.

And she brought 3/12 home. You can simplify that into 1/4.
