An exponential distribution is formed by the waiting times for a patient in the emergency room. The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes. Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we should understand the exponential distribution and conditional probability.

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]

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes.

This means that [tex]m = 38, \mu = \frac{1}{38} = 0.0263[/tex]

Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes?

Event A: Taking more than 37 minutes.

Event B: More than 37 + 41 = 78 minutes.

Probability of taking more than 37 minutes:

[tex]P(A) = P(X \leq 37) = 1 - e^{-0.0263*37} = 0.6221[/tex]

More than 37 minutes and more than 78 minutes:

The intersection is more than 78 minutes, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(X > 78) = e^{-0.0263*78} = 0.1286[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1286}{0.6221} = 0.207[/tex]

0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes

A bear loves visiting his friend, the piglet. The distance between their houses is 300m , and the bear always walks from his house to the piglet's house in exactly the same amount of time. But today, the bear stops at a beehive after walking —1 of the 4 distance. He eats honey for 2.5 minutes and then continues to the piglet's house at a speed 15 m/min faster than usual. The total journey to the piglet's house takes the exact same amount of time as it usually does, when the bear does not stop for honey. How long does the journey take?

Answers

Answer:

10mins

Step-by-step explanation:

you can draw a rtd chart for this problem

             rate (m/min)|  time (mins)  | distance (m )

regular: (300/x)  | x  | 300m

fist 1/4 : (300/x) | 75: (300/x)  | 75m

last 3/4:  | (300/x)+15 | 225:(300/x + 15) | 225m

then, make an equation for the times:

x= (75: (300/x)) + (225: ( (300/x)+15) + 2.5 = x

// get the 2.5 mins from the stop for honey, and we know that regular speed is equal to the one with a stop

solve equation to get x=-20/3 , x=10, because speed is positive, x=10 is the most reasonable answer

How do I solve 1 1/3 × 2 2/4 in steps?​

Answers

Answer:

3 1/3

Step-by-Step

first step is too make a an improper fraction, 1 1/3 equals 4/3 and 2 2/4 equals 10/4. next your gonna multiply 4/3 and 10/4, 4x10=40,3x4 equals 12, so it would be 40/12. but its improper, we need to reduce it. the lowest number that can go in both numbers is 4. 40 divided by 4 =10. 12 divided by 4=3. 12/3= 3 1/3

Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

That's 1 1/3 times 2 1/2.

Converting these into improper fractions, we get 4/3 times 5/2.

Multiplying (4/3) by (5/2), we get 20/6, or, after reduction, 10/3

So let's find a unit rate: 1 to 9

"Why is it 1:9?"

If I can find divide 72 pounds into 8 hours? What would I find? You would find the pounds for each other

Example: 72/8=9. So If 9 carbon dioxide per hour. I can do 3 hours is 27 pounds of carbon dioxide.

So to sum it up, 72/8=9 so 1:9 can be used to figure out any amount of pounds used in a certain number of hours. So If 3 hours, then 27 pounds.

Find three consecutive numbers whose sum shall equal 45.​

Answers

Answer:

the three consecutive numbers are 14, 15, 16

Answer:

Since the consecutive numbers, so the first one is x, the next one is x+1, and so on....I hope this will help

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 45

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 45

3x + 3 = 45

3x = 42

x = 14

Now that we know x = 14, let's add one to it.

x + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15.

Now we have our middle number, which is 15. You can always check your answer by adding 14 + 15 + 16 = 45. Whoo!

The measure of the triangle is the sum of 3 interior angles of the triangle. This is always 180 degrees, as a triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles.

The measure of the three sides of the triangle can help in finding out the angles and similarly the three angles can help to find the length. If we consider two sides and then measure the angle then the triangle can't be solved.
