The undergraduate office at Eli Broad College has 3 academic advisors. Students who want to be talk to an advisor arrive at the rate of 12 per hour according to a Poisson distribution. If all three advisors are busy, Broad students wait for one of the advisors to become available. The average time that a student spends with an advisor is 10 minutes. The standard deviation of the time with an advisor is 2. 4 minutes. On average, how many Broad students are waiting to see an advisor

Answers

Answer 1

To calculate the average number of Broad students waiting to see an advisor, we need to consider the arrival rate of students and the service rate of advisors.

In this case, the arrival rate of students follows a Poisson distribution with a rate of 12 students per hour. The service rate of advisors can be calculated using the average time spent with an advisor.

Step 1: Calculate the service rate of advisors.

Service rate = 60 minutes / average time spent with an advisor

Service rate = 60 minutes / 10 minutes

Service rate = 6 students per hour

Step 2: Calculate the utilization rate of the advisors.

Utilization rate = Arrival rate / Service rate

Utilization rate = 12 students per hour / 6 students per hour

Utilization rate = 2

Step 3: Calculate the average number of students waiting using the formula for the average number of customers in a queue (waiting line) in a system with a Poisson arrival rate and exponential service rate.

Average number of customers in the queue = (Utilization rate)^2 / (1 - Utilization rate)

Average number of customers in the queue = (2)^2 / (1 - 2)

Average number of customers in the queue = 4 / (-1)

Average number of customers in the queue = -4

Since the result is a negative value, it means that, on average, there are no Broad students waiting to see an advisor. This suggests that the arrival rate is lower than the capacity of the advisors to handle the students' requests.

The naturalist found 9 bright blue poisonous frogs in South America. Each frog weighed 3 grams. In all, how much did the 9 frogs weigh? A) 39 grams in all B) 27 grams in all C) 12 grams in all D) 36 grams in all

Answers

Answer: B) 27 grams in all

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of each bright blue poisonous frog = 3 grams

By using the multiplication operator (x)

Then, the weight of 9 such frogs  = 9 x (Weight of each frog)

⇒ The weight of  9 frogs  = 9 x 3 grams

⇒ The weight of  9 frogs  = 7 grams

Therefore, the correct option is B) 27 grams in all

A wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a hippopotamus, she paddles 15 km across a lake. She paddles across the lake for one hour longer than she paddled up the river. Find the speed of the boat as she paddles the lake if the river current is 2 km/h.

Answers

Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h

m + 1 = 8

But what’s the m=__

Answers

Answer:m= 7.

Step-by-step explanation: first you do 8-1. 8-1 gives you 7. Therefore m=7

Answer: m = 7

Explanation: When you're asked to solve for m in an equation, what you're really being asked to do is to get m by itself on one side of the equation.

In this problem, since 1 is being added to m, in order to get m

by itself, we must subtract 1 from the left side of the equation.

If we subtract 1 from the left side of the equation, remember that

we must also subtract 1 from the right side of the equation.

So on the left, +1 and -1 cancel each other out

and on the right, 8 - 1 simplifies to 7.

So m = 7.

Answers

Answer:The perimeter of a rectangular atrium is 27 yards in width and 123 yards in length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The perimeter of a rectangular atrium is given as 2( l+b)

The perimeter of a rectangular atrium is 300 yards.

Let the width be represented as x

such that the

The length of the garden which is ninety-six yards more than the width is expressed as x+ 96

and the expression to solve for length and width will now be

Step 2

Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2l + 2b

300=2( x+96) + 2 x

300= 2x+ 192 + 2x

300= 192+ 4x

300-192=4x

108=4x

x=108/4

x=27

width = 27 yards

length = x+ 96= 27 +96=123 yards

This is called the difference of squares. Both sides of the minus sigh must be perfect squares or able to be factored in such a way that you are left with perfect squares.  36x^2 is a perfect square. If you take its square root, you get √36x^2 or 6x. That makes B and D incorrect. So what about A and C?

A:The left side of 36x^2 is correct, but the right side is not. The left side of 36x^2 has a square root of 6x.

The right side has been left alone and it shouldn't be.

The 9 is a perfect square. Its square root is 3. That makes C the answer.

Answer: 1/125cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is gotten by multiplying the side length given by itself thrice.

Since the cube in the question has a side length of 1/5cm, the volume of the cube will be:

= 1/5 × 1/5 × 1/5

= 1/125cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line is y=mx+b

we know that 7 is m so

y=7x+b

but we got to find b

so we use the point (-3,1) and substitute in our equation

1=7(-3)+b

lets find b

1= -21+b

22=b

okay then we found b now lets go to our original problem and substitute b
