The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second). (a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What water-pumping capacity, in cubic feet per second, should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day is only 0.08

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1496 = 14.96% probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day.

b) Capacity of 252.6 cubic feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Which has the following solution:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second).

This means that [tex]m = 100, \mu = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01[/tex]

(a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

We have that:

[tex]P(X > x) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

This is P(X > 190). So

[tex]P(X > 190) = e^{-0.01*190} = 0.1496[/tex]

0.1496 = 14.96% probability that the demand will exceed 190 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day.

(b) What water-pumping capacity, in cubic feet per second, should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day is only 0.08?

This is x for which:

[tex]P(X > x) = 0.08[/tex]

So

[tex]e^{-0.01x} = 0.08[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.01x}} = \ln{0.08}[/tex]

[tex]-0.01x = \ln{0.08}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{\ln{0.08}}{0.01}[/tex]

[tex]x = 252.6[/tex]

Capacity of 252.6 cubic feet per second

For whole numbers between 1 and 1001, inclusive, let m be the sum of odd numbers and n be the sum of even numbers. What is the value of m−n?

Answers

Answer:

m - n = 501

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first thing you have to do is find the number of odd and even numbers. This is where you have to be careful because there is a danger of being out by one.

equation

l = a + (n - 1)*d

Solution even

l = 1000

a = 2

d = 2

1000 = 2 + (n - 1)*2

998/2 = (n - 1) * 2 / 2

499 =  n - 1

n = 500

Solution odd

l = 1001

a = 1

d = 2

1001 = 1 + (n - 1)*2

1000 =  (n - 1)*2

1000/2 =  (n - 1)2/2

500 =  n - 1

501 = n

Sum Even of even numbers from 1 to 1001

Givens

a = 2

n = 500

l = 1000

Equation

Sum = (a + l ) * n / 2

Solution

Sum = (2 + 1000)*500/2

Sum = 1002 * 250

Sum = 250500

Sum of Odd numbers from 1 to 1001

a = 1

l = 1001

n = 501

Equation

sum = (a + l)*n/2

sum = (1 + 1001) * 501

sum = (1002)*501 / 2

Sum =  251001

Answer

m - n = 251001 - 250500 = 501

A train leaves Miami at 4:00 PM. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 8:00 PM. The second train travels 124mph faster than the first. If the second train overtakes the first at 10:00 PM, what is the speed of each of the two trains?

Answers

Distance travelled = speed x time
If we call the speed of the slower train S and the speed of the faster train F then
S x 6 hours = F x 2 = (S + 124) x 2
6S = 2S + 248
4S = 248
S = 62
So the slow train is travelling at 62mph and the fast train at 186mph

7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

It has a right angle and it's a triangle so the angle is a complementary angle so the total for the angle is 90 degrees.

So, 90 - 83 +7

So your total is 7 degrees

Share R600 amongst Tom, Paul and Anne in the ratio : 3:4:5 respectively.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Shares = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 shares

12 Shares = R600

(12÷12) Share = R(600÷12)

1 Share = R50

(1×3) Shares = R(50×3)

3 Shares = R150

4 Shares = R(50×4) = R200

5 Shares = R(50×5) = R250

Tom Gets R150.

Paul gets R200.

Anne gets R250.

18. Emma rents a car from a company that rents cars by the hour. She has to pay an initial fee of $75, and then they charge her $9 per hour. Write an equation for the total cost Cif Emma rents the car for h hours. If Emma has budgeted $250 for the rental cars, how many hours can she rent the car? Assume the car cannot be rented for part of an hour.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the number of hours.

Total Cost = Fixed Costs + Variable Cost

= Initial Fee + Hourly Charge

= 75 + 9h

Given,

[tex]75 + 9h = 250 \\ 9h = 250 - 75 \\ 9h = 175 \\ h = 175 \div 9 \\ = 19 \frac{4}{9} hr[/tex]

Since the car cannot be rent part of an hour, the highest possible whole number is 19 hours.

Under the assumption that house prices are normally distributed, find a confidence interval for the mean sales price of all houses in this community. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the confidence interval.

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Suppose that a random sample of eighteen recently sold houses in a certain city has a mean sales price of $280,000, with a standard deviation of $10,000. Under the assumption that house prices are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean sales price of all houses in this community. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the confidence interval.

Answer:

At 95%, confidence interval is ( 275026.7, 284973.3 )

Hence;

Lower limit = 275026.7

Upper limit = 284973.3

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given that;

mean x = $280,000

standard deviation σ = $10,000

sample size n = 18

degree of freedom df = n - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

∝ = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05  

so

Critical t value = tinv( 0.05, 17 ) = 2.11

now, at 95% confidence interval for mean will be;

⇒ x ± [ Critical t value × ( σ/√n) ]

so we substitute

⇒ 280,000 ± [  2.11 × ( 10000/√18) ]

⇒ 280,000 ± [  2.11 × 2357.0226 ]

⇒ 280,000 ± 4973.3

⇒ 280000 - 4973.3, 280000 + 4973.3

At 95%, confidence interval is ( 275026.7, 284973.3 )

Hence;

Lower limit = 275026.7

Upper limit = 284973.3
