Aqueue with a single server receives 50 requests per second on average. the average time for the server to address a request is 10 milliseconds. what is the probability that there are exactly k requests in this system?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a typical example where the Poisson distribution is a good choice to model the situation.

In this case we have an interval of time of 50 milliseconds as average time for the server to address one request and 50 requests per second.  

By cross-multiplying we determine the expected value of requests every 50 milliseconds.  

We know 1 second = 1,000 milliseconds

50 requests __________ 1000 milliseconds

 x requests __________ 50 milliseconds

50/x = 1000/50 ===> x = 2.5  

and the expected value is 2.5 requests per interval of 50 milliseconds.

According to the Poisson distribution, the probability of k events in 50 milliseconds equals

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
