An automobile manufacturing plant produced 38 vehicles today: 15 were motorcycles, 10 were vans, and 13 were trucks. (Each vehicle falls into only one of these categories.) Plant managers are going to select two of these vehicles for a thorough inspection. The first vehicle will be selected at random, and then the second vehicle will be selected at random from the remaining vehicles. What is the probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle and the second vehicle is a van? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second. Take out a piece of paper and read the above problem context again. You will prepare your written work and solutions on your own paper and upload it and the end of this question. Complete the problem solving process by: i. reading and re-reading the problem to identify the quantities in the situation; ii. making a drawing to represent the relevant quantities in the situation; iii. and defining the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. a. Define a function f to determine the distance of the tortoise from the finish line in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start of the race.

The Fore and Aft Marina is located on the Ohio River near Madison, Indiana. Fore and Aft currently operates a docking facility where only one boat at a time can stop for gas and servicing. The manager of the Fore and Aft Marina wants to investigate the possibility of enlarging the docking facility so that two boats can stop for gas and servicing simultaneously. Assume that the arrival rate is 3 boats per hour and that the service rate for each server is 9 boats per hour. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that the boat dock will be idle? (b) What is the average number of boats that will be waiting for service? (c) What is the average time (in hours) a boat will spend waiting for service? h (d) What is the average time (in hours) a boat will spend at the dock? h (e) If customers expect to be able to be in and out of the marina within 10 minutes on average, does this system provide acceptable service? ---Select--- V since the average time a boat will…
