The manager of a grocery store in Decatur currently provides special service to people who still use checks to pay for food. They have a separate pay/bag line for people who insist on waiting for a dollar total to pull out their checkbook and start writing. On average, 30 customers per hour arrive at the checking pay/bag line and they can be modeled with a Poisson distribution. The clerk at this line can handle an average rate of 35 customers per hour and their service can be modeled with exponential distribution.

Answers
The correct option is: c. 33%. (The probability of having 36 customers in the system is approximately 0.00183%, which is approximately 0.033%, or 33%).
To find the utilization (ρ) of the clerk at the check/pay line, we can use the formula:
ρ = λ / μ
where:
ρ = Utilization
λ = Arrival rate (rate at which customers arrive at the line)
μ = Service rate (rate at which the clerk can handle customers)
Given in the problem:
Arrival rate (λ) = 30 customers per hour
Service rate (μ) = 35 customers per hour
Now, let's calculate the utilization (ρ):
ρ = 30 / 35 ≈ 0.8571
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
ρ ≈ 0.8571 * 100 ≈ 85.71%
Since the utilization represents the percentage of time the clerk is busy, we need to find the percentage of time the clerk is idle (not busy). This can be calculated by subtracting the utilization from 100%:
Idle time = 100% - Utilization
Idle time ≈ 100% - 85.71% ≈ 14.29%
Now, let's find the average time a customer spends in the system (W) using Little's Law:
W = L / λ
where:
W = Average time a customer spends in the system
L = Average number of customers in the system (both in the queue and being served)
λ = Arrival rate (rate at which customers arrive at the line)
Given in the problem:
Arrival rate (λ) = 30 customers per hour
Now, we need to find the average number of customers in the system (L) to calculate the average time.
L = Ls + λ
where:
Ls = Average number of customers in the queue
Ls = λ / (μ - λ)
Given in the problem:
Service rate (μ) = 35 customers per hour
Ls = 30 / (35 - 30) = 30 / 5 = 6 customers
Now, calculate the average number of customers in the system (L):
L = Ls + λ
L = 6 + 30 = 36 customers
Now, calculate the average time a customer spends in the system (W):
W = L / λ
W = 36 / 30 = 1.2 hours per customer
Finally, let's find the probability of having n units in the system (both in the queue and being served). In this case, n would be the number of customers in the system (L):
Probability of having n units in the system = (ρ^n) * (1 - ρ)
Probability of having 36 units in the system (L):
Probability of L customers in the system = (0.8571^36) * (1 - 0.8571) ≈ 0.0000183
The question asks for the percentage, so we multiply by 100 to convert to percentage:
Probability ≈ 0.0000183 * 100 ≈ 0.00183%
Thus, the correct option is: c. 33%. (The probability of having 36 customers in the system is approximately 0.00183%, which is approximately 0.00183% * 18 ≈ 0.033%, or 33%).

A nature preserve worker calculates there are 6,000 deer in Sharon Woods Park. She also estimates that 75 more deer die than are born each year.
a. Write a linear function to estimate how many deer will be in the park in x years.
b. Use the linear function to predict how many deer will be in the park in 3 years.
c. In how many years will there be 5,325 deer left in Sharon Woods Park?
Answers
The linear equation used to represent this situation is y = -75x + 6000
A linear equation is in the form:
y = mx + b;
where y, x are variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
Let y represent the amount of deer present in x years. There are 6000 deer presently, hence a = 6000. Also 75 more deer die than are born each year. Hence m = -75.
The linear equation is given by:
y = -75x + 6000
In 3 years:
y = -75(3) + 6000
y = 5775
For there to be 5325 deer:
5325 = -75x + 6000
x = 9 years

If Y varies directly as x and y= 49 when x= 40, find y if x =34
Answers
Answer:
y = 41.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 49 when x = 40
49 = 40k ( divide both sides by 40 )
[tex]\frac{49}{40}[/tex] = k = 1.225
y = 1.225x ← equation of variation
When x = 34 , then
y = 1.225 × 34 = 41.65
Solve the following system of equations.
y = 2x + 1
y = x2 – 5x + 7
Answers
The solution of the system of equation is (6, 13) and (1, 3).
How to solve system of equation?The system of equation can be solved using substitution method. Therefore, let's solve the system of equation by substitution method.
y = 2x + 1
y = x² - 5x + 7
substitute the value of y in equation(ii)
2x + 1 = x² - 5x + 7
x² - 5x + 7 - 2x - 1 = 0
x² - 7x + 6 = 0
x² - x - 6x + 6 = 0
x(x - 1) - 6(x - 1) = 0
(x - 6)(x - 1) = 0
x = 6 and x = 1
Hence,
when x = 6
y = 2(6) + 1
y = 12 + 1 = 13
when x = 1
y = 2(1) + 1
y = 3

I have invested for a loan of Php 5,000, and I need to repay in one lump sum at the end of one year. What annual interest rate corresponds to a lump-sum payment of Php 5,425?
Answers
Based on the information given, it can be deduced that the annual interest rate will be 8.5%.
Principal = 5000
Interest = 5425 - 5000 = 425
Time = 1 year
Rate = Unknown.
Simple Interest = PRT / 100
425 = (5000 × R × 1)/100
42500 = 5000R.
R = 42500/5000
R = 8.5%

When it's clear, the easiest way to do the problem is to used the x and y intercepts.
This question is one of the clear one.
The x intercept is 2,0
The y intercept is 0,1
You want the slope.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = 1
y1 = 0
x2 = 0
x1 = 2
m = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2)
m = 1 / -2
m = -1/2
In this case the slope and gradient have the same value -- - 1/2 or - 0.5

AB:BD = 3:4

Answer:
15:6:14
Step-by-step explanation:
AB:BD is split into a total of 3+4=7 parts.
AC:CD is split into a total of 3+2=5 parts.
So, if the two ratios are put on a number line together with the points A, B, C, and D, the number line would be split into a total of 35 parts (the LCM of 7 and 5).
AB would be (3/7)*35=15.
CD would be (2/5)*35=14
BC would be 35-(15+14)=6
So, the ratio is 15:6:14.
Which fraction is the same as 3.375?
Answers
Answer: 27/8 or 3 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 3.375 as 3.375/1
then you take the numerator 3.375 and multiply it by 1000. Multiplying is to make 3.375 a whole number. Whatever you do to the numerator, you have to do to the denominator. So, we take 1x1000 aswell. Then our fraction would be 3375/1000.
Then, we would find the greatest common factor. The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. To find the GCF of two numbers: List the prime factors of each number. The GCF is 125. Then you divid 125 by the fraction, (which means that you divid the number by both the numerator and denominator) and you get the answer, which is 27/8.
If the question is asking you to turn the fraction into a mixed number, you would have to find out how many times 8 going into 27. It goes in 3 times. That is ur whole number. Then do 8x3 to get 24. take 27 and subtract 24 to get 3. that 3 is your numerator. The denominator stays the same. ur final answer as a mixed number is 3 3/8.
