A new shopping mall is considering setting up an information desk manned by one employee. Based upon information obtained from similar information desks, it is believed that people will arrive at the desk at a rate of 20 per hour. It takes an average of 2 minutes to answer a question. It is assumed that the arrivals follow a Poisson distribution and answer times are exponentially distributed. Assume that the information desk employee in Problem 1 earns $10 per hour. The cost of waiting time, in terms of customer unhappiness with the mall, is $12 per hour of time spent waiting in line. Find the total expected costs over an 8-hour day

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

tsc = 8*1*10 = $80

twc = 8*20*0.0667*12 = $128.06

tc = 80 + 128.06 = $208.06

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total expected costs for an 8 hour period, first you must find the total service costs (tsc) and the total waiting costs (twc) as the two costs are what make up the total cost (tc).

Total service cost = (the number of channels)(cost per channel)

tsc = m*Cs

There is only 1 employee so the number of channels is 1.

The cost for this channel is $10 per hour, so 10 * 8 hours in the day.

Total waiting cost = (total time spent waiting by all arrivals)(cost of waiting)

twc = (number of arrivals)(average wait per arrival) Cw

The number arrivals is at the rate of 20 per hour.

The average wait per arrival was found as Wq previously.

                 Wq = 20/(30*(30-20)) = 0.0667 hours

The cost of waiting (Cw) is the $12 per hour multiplied by the 8 hour day.

Total Expected Cost for an 8 hour day is the sum of the total service cost plus the total waiting cost.

Answer:

The equation of the line is x = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given a straight line whether it's horizontal or vertical on a graph and is told to write it as an equation,

it can be a horizontal line, y = the number the line is on from the y-axis

or a vertical line, x = the number the line is on from the x-axis.

In this case you have a vertical line so the equation would be

x = the number the line is on from the x-axis, which is 2 so your final answer would be

x = 2

If the y-intercept of your quadratic is (0,5) and your axis of symmetry is x=4,

A rectangle has side lengths of 3 inches and square root 5 inches. Which statement
must be true
about the area of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we will take a look at the equation and the options listed to choose from.

Secondly, we notice these options are reffering to rational and irrational numbers.

A rational number is a number that can be expressed in a ratio of 2 integers. (Form example whole numbers such as 1 (1/1), 2(2/1) 5(5/1, 10/2) and even decimals like 3.75 (375/100) or (750/200) etc.

As for irrational numbers, these can NOT be simplified between a ratio 2 integers. For example the question states 3 multiplied by the square root of 5. The square root of 5 is 2.2360679... multiplied by 3 we get 6.7082..... Numbers such as those can go on for infinity and can not be simplified as integers therefore they are irrational numbers.

.............................................................................................................

With this knowledge, it means then options A and C are out. So lets take a look at B and D which statement is true and which is false?

With this knowledge, it means then options A and C are out. So lets take a look at B and D which statement is true and which is false?B is true because we already know that the product of the numbers was 6.708.... irrational number based on our workings above.

With this knowledge, it means then options A and C are out. So lets take a look at B and D which statement is true and which is false?B is true because we already know that the product of the numbers was 6.708.... irrational number based on our workings above.D is false because if the product is 6.708 it can not be the square root of 15 (3.872)

B. It is an irrational number because the product of the side lengths is [tex]3\sqrt{5}[/tex], an irrational number.

According to this question, we know the lengths of the two sides of the rectangle, the length of a side is an positive integer and the length of the other one is an positive irrational number. The area of the rectangle is the product of the two sides lengths mentioned above.

By algebra, we know that the product between an integer and an irrational number leads to other irrational number. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is represented by an irrational number.

[tex]A = (3)\cdot \sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex]A = 3\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Hence, the right answer is B.

A line is perpendicular to y = - x - 2 and intersects the point (-5, 10)

Answers

Answer:

y = x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.

The first line is y = - x - 2. Its slope is -1. A line perpendicular to this will have a slope of 1.

Plug this value (1) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-5, 10). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

10 = (-5) + b

Simplify.

10 = -5 + b

Now, add 5 to both sides to isolate b.

15 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x + 15

This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -x - 2) and contains point (-5, 10)

Annual starting salaries for college graduates with degrees in business administration are generally expected to have a population standard deviation of $3,000. Assume that a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean annual starting salary is desired. How large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is (a) [1 pt] $500

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 139 should be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Population standard deviation of $3,000.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 3000[/tex]

How large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is $500?

A sample of n is needed.

n is found when M = 500. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]500 = 1.96\frac{3000}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]500\sqrt{n} = 1.96*3000[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 500

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*6[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*6)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 138.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 139 should be taken.
