Suppose that each customer asks to sample a food item with probability 1/4, independently of all other customers. The service time for a customer who samples a food item is an exponential random variable with parameter 1/5. i. What is the expected number of minutes until you reach the front of the line

An approximately 2 minutes is expected to reach the front of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value of minutes =

(1/4)^(1/5) + (1 - 1/4)^(1/5)

= (1/4)^0.2 + (3/4)^0.2

= 0.7579 + 0.9441

= 1.702.

≈ 2 minutes

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
