Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a

Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 20 (suggested in the article "Dynamic Ride Sharing: Theory and Practice"†). (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be at most 15? (b) What is the probability that the number of drivers will exceed 26? (c) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be between 15 and 26, inclusive? What is the probability that the number of drivers will be strictly between 15 and 26? (d) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean value?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been established that the count of drivers traveling between a specific origin and destination in a certain time frame follows a Poisson distribution with a mean μ = 20 (as indicated in the article "Dynamic Ride Sharing: Theory and Practice"†).

a) P(X\leq 15) = 0.1565=0.157

b) P(X>26) =1-F(26)\\= 1-0.9221\\=0.0779=0.078

c) P(15\leq x\leq 26)\\=F(26)-F(14)\\=0.9221-0.1049\\=0.8172=0.817

d) 2 standard deviations = 2(20) = 40

Thus, this means the range for 2 standard deviations is

20-40, 20+40

which equates to (0,60)

P(0

It takes 45 minutes to drive to the nearest bowling alley taking city streets going

21 minutes. Step-by-step explanation: Considering the following: Using CITY STREET: The duration to drive to the nearest bowling alley is 45 minutes, which is 0.75 hours. The travel speed is 30 miles per hour. Switching to FREEWAY: the travel speed here is 65 miles per hour. Assuming both routes cover the same distance, the time required on the FREEWAY will be as follows: The distance calculated using the city route results in 30 mph = distance / 0.75 hour, giving a distance of 22.5 miles. As the distance remains consistent: Time taken on the FREEWAY = distance / speed, which results in 22.5 / 65 = 0.3461538 hours. Converting to minutes = 0.3461538 × 60, which rounds to approximately 21 minutes.

If the diameter of a sphere is 1 meter, then what is its surface area? Leave your answer in terms of π= 3.14
Inessa [12570]

surface area = 4 x pi x r^2

diameter is 1, thus radius = 1/2 = 0.5

4 x 3.14 x 0.5^2 = 3.14 square meters

Inessa [12570]
Visualizing the scenario is advantageous; creating a diagram would show a right triangle where the base measures 100 ft and the height is 25 ft. We can easily determine the angle using trigonometric functions as follows:

tan(theta) = 25 / 100
theta = 14.04 degrees
