Wait time for 911 calls. The wait time before a 911 call is answered in the state of California has a probability density function
a. The state standard is that 90% of 911 calls are to be answered within 10 sec. Verify that this standard is met using the probability density function f.
b. What is the probability that a 911 call is answered within 15 to 25 sec after being made?

- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forwardFind the values of x in each proportion: a x6=3x c 6x+4=2x+2 b x53=2x37 d x+35=x+57 e x2x5=2x+1x1 g x1x+2=103x2 f x(x+5)4x+4=95 h x+72=x+2x2arrow_forward

The probability is 0.1% that the home will be totally destroved by fire, and the probability is 0.5% that the home will suffer a 50% loss due to fire. Ignoring all other partial losses, the insurance company is interested in determining what premium it should charge for a policy just to break even? Let X = the amount of compensation paid to the customer. Calculate the premium that the insurance company should charge for a policy to break even.
