Midwest Publishing publishes textbooks. The company uses an 800 number where people can call to ask questions about the textbooks and place orders. Currently, there are 2 representatives handling inquiries. Calls occurring when both lines are in use get a busy signal. Each representative can handle 12 calls per hour. The arrival rate is 20 calls per hour.

Required:
a. How many extension lines should be used if the company wants to handle 90% of the calls immediately?
b. What is the probability that a call will receive a busy signal if your recommendation in part (a) is used?
c. What percentage of calls receive a busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 18 calls

B. 0.9

C. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of representatives=2,

Number of extension lines=2,

Average calls each representative can accommodate per hour = 15 calls,

Arrival rate per hour = 30 calls

(a) 90% of the arrival rate = 0.09 × 20 = 18 calls

To handle 18 calls immediately, 18 extension lines should be used

(b) Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

Number of possible outcomes = 18, number of total outcomes = 20

Probability (call will receive busy signal) = 18/20 = 0.9

(c) For one extension line, numbers of calls to receive busy signal = 20 - 10 = 10 calls

Number of calls to receive busy signal for the current telephone system with two extension lines = 2 × 10 = 20 calls

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.4 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.4 in/s. At what rate is the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 140 in. and the height is 186 in.

Answers

Answer:

The volume is increasing at a rate of 27093 cubic inches per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone:

THe volume of a cone, with radius r and height h, is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex]

In this question:

We have to differentiate implictly is function of t, so the three variables, V, r and h, are differenciated. So

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi r^2}{3}\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{2\pi rh}{3}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.4 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.4 in/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 1.4, \frac{dh}{dt} = -2.4[/tex]

Radius is 140 in. and the height is 186 in.

This means that [tex]r = 140, h = 186[/tex]

At what rate is the volume of the cone changing?

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi r^2}{3}\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{2\pi rh}{3}\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi (140)^2}{3}(-2.4) + \frac{2\pi 140*186}{3}1.4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = -0.8\pi(140)^2 + 62*2\pi*1.4*140[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 27093[/tex]

Positive, so increasing.

The volume is increasing at a rate of 27093 cubic inches per second.

In a survey of 302 registered voters, 167 of them wished to see Mayor Waffleskate lose her next election. Find a point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who wish to see Mayor Waffleskate defeated.

Answers

Answer:

A point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who wish to see Mayor Waffleskate defeated is of 0.553.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimate:

The point estimate of a proportion is the sample proportion(number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes).

Find a point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who wish to see Mayor Waffleskate defeated.

167 out of 302. So

A point estimate for the proportion of registered voters who wish to see Mayor Waffleskate defeated is of 0.553.

An office manager buys 2 office chairs and 4 file cabinets for $380. Next year she buys 4 office chairs and 6 file cabinets for $660. What is the cost of each office chair, c? What is the cost of each file cabinet, f? Explain how you fond the cost of each chair and file cabinet.

Answers

Answer:

16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

file cabinet = 50

chair = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

x = chair

y = file cabinet

1st year, solve for x

2x+4y = 380

2x = 380 - 4y

x = 190 - 2y

2nd year

Now substitute x = 190 - 2y in your 2nd year formula

4x+6y = 660

4(190-2y)+6y = 660

760 - 8y + 6y = 660

-2y = -100

y = 50

The cost of the filling cabinet is 50 each

Now use the value for y (50) in your first formula to get x

2x+4y=380

2x+4*50=380

2x=380-200

2x=180

x=90

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing (in mm3/s) when the diameter is 60 mm?

Answers

Answer:

22608 mm³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying chain rule,

dV/dt = (dV/dr)(dr/dt)............... Equation 1

Where dV/dr = rate at which the volume is increasing

But,

V = 4πr³/3

Therefore,

dV/dr = 4πr²............... Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

dV/dt = 4πr²(dr/dt).............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: dr/dt = 2 mm/s, r = 60/2 = 30 mm

Consatant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

dV/dt = 4×3.14×30²×2

dV/dt = 22608 mm³/s

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of the students in Year 9.

Basically, first you need to work out 1/12 of the students, which is just 240 divided by 12, equals 20.

June, Gavyn and Alex share some sweets in the ratio 5:5:3. June gets 22 more sweets than Alex. How many sweets are there altogether?

Answers

Answer:

Let June's sweets be 5x.

Then Gavyn's sweets will be 5x.

And Alex's sweets will be 3x.

5x = 3x + 22

2x = 22

x = 11

So June has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

Gavyn has 5 x 11 = 55 sweets

And Alex have 3 x 11 = 33 sweets

Total

= 55 + 55 + 33

= 143 sweets

Answers

Answer:  P + 6 - s

=================================================

Explanation:

We undo the "minus 6" by adding 6 to both sides.

Also, we undo the "+s" by subtracting s from both sides

-----------

So we have these steps

P = r+s-6

P+6 = r+s-6+6 .... adding 6 to both sides

P+6 = r+s

r+s = P+6

r+s-s = P+6-s ..... subtracting s from both sides

r = P + 6 - s

Answer:

P+6-s=r

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the equation P=r+s-6 and we need to solve for r

To do that, we need to isolate r onto one side, and have everything else on the other.

Here is the equation:

P=r+s-6

start by adding 6 to both sides to clear it from the right side

P+6=r+s

now subtract s from both sides to clear it from the right side

P+6-s=r

now everything that isn't r is on the left side, and r is by itself on the right side. P+6-s=r is the answer.

For direct proportions, we have:

Make k the subject

[tex]k = y/x[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = 4/2 =2[/tex]

So, the equation is:

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

Assume the above question is for inverse proportion

The variation will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is just playing with the numbers. no complex math concepts.

Tyler's graph shows she reached 1 mile after 8 1/3 minutes (8 minutes and 20 seconds). that is 25/3 minutes.

according to Elena's equation she reached 1 mile (x=1) after 8.5 minutes. that is 8 1/2 minutes or 8 minutes and 30 seconds.

so, we see that Elena took more time (10 seconds longer) to run 1 mile, so Tyler was faster.

to generally compare the 2 we can write also Tyler's graph as function (like for Elena) :

8 1/3 = 8.333333....

y = 8.33x

but that is just FYI (not asked for here).

since Tyler was faster (and her graph also showed a straight line of time and distance up to 10 minutes and beyond, so, she did not slow down after the first mile), she also ran further after 10 minutes. that is the definition of "being faster" - to go further in the same amount of time.

Tyler needed 8.33 minutes per mile.

Elena needed 8.5 minutes per mile.

and so, Tyler was faster.

log  10  ( 100 )  =  2

Answer:

First one: log_10 (100) = 2 OR log (100) = 2

Second one: 5^-3 = 1/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the formula for a basic exponent equation is this:

a = b^x

a is the answer when you calculate b^x

b is the base

x is the exponent

Here's the log formula using those variables:

log_b (a) = x

As long as you know how to rearrange the numbers/variables, you are good to go:

100 = 10^2

a = 100

b = 10

x = 2

log_10 (100) = 2

You can also write this one as log (100) = 2 because when you put log by itself, it's assumed that the base thing already equals 10.

log_5 (1/125) = -3

a = 1/125

b = 5

x = -3

5^-3 = 1/125
