probability for filling fuel












1














I'm trying to solve below probability question ;



fuel station has $5$ filling points of which $3$ are use to fill petrol and remaining $2$ are use to fill diesel for different kind of vehicles.It was noticed that an average $3$ minutes to fill fuel to any vehicle (diesel/petrol).number of petrol vehicles to enter the fuel station within an hour estimated is $24$ and the diesel vehicle estimated 36 within an hour.



want to find below probabilities :




  1. all petrol filling points are idle

  2. all diesel filling points are busy

  3. all petrol filling points are busy

  4. all filling points are busy

It was noticed that an average 3 minutes are required to fill fuel to any vehicle. As there are 3 petrol filling points, they can fill fuel petrol to petrol vehicles at the most 60 per hour. As number of petrol vehicles entering into fuel station are 24, The probability that all the 3 petrol points will remain idle is $binom{3}{3}(frac{24}{60})^0(frac{36}{60})^3=0.216$



Likewise, You calculate the answers to other questions.



Answers to the other questions are as follows:



2)$binom{2}{2}(frac{36}{40})^2(frac{4}{40})^0=0.81$



3)$binom{3}{3}(frac{24}{60})^3(frac{36}{40})^0=0.064$



4)$binom{5}{5}(frac{60}{100})^5(frac{40}{100})^0=0.0776.$

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania.
