Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.1 per year.
a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.
b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?
c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 7 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson
distribution work well here?
a. The probability is 0.172
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. The expected number of years with 4 hurricanes is 3.62
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.172 probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b) The expected number of years with 4 hurricanes is 7.7.

c) 7 years is close to the expected value of 7.7, which means that the Poisson distribution works well here.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

The mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.1 per year.

This means that [tex]\mu = 5.1[/tex]

a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

This is P(X = 4).

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-5.1}*(5.1)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.172[/tex]

0.172 probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?

Each year, 0.172 probability of 4 hurricanes. So for 45 years, the mean is 45*0.172 = 7.7.

The expected number of years with 4 hurricanes is 7.7.

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 7 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?

7 years is close to the expected value of 7.7, which means that the Poisson distribution works well here.

[tex](a)\ 5x[/tex]

[tex](b)\ -4b[/tex]

[tex](c)\ 38bc[/tex]

[tex](d)\ -24b^2c[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The coefficient of a

To get the coefficient, we simply remove a. The remaining terms is the required coefficient

Solving (a):

[tex]Expression = 5ax[/tex]

Remove a

5x:

Hence, the coefficient is 5x

Solving (b):

[tex]Expression = -4ab[/tex]

Remove a

-4b

Hence, the coefficient is -4b

Solving (c):

[tex]Expression = 38abc[/tex]

Remove a

38bc

Hence, the coefficient is 38bc

Solving (d):

[tex]Expression=-24ab^2c[/tex]

Remove a

[tex]-24b^2c[/tex]

Hence, the coefficient is [tex]-24b^2c[/tex]

Johnny uses a mirror placed on level ground to measure the height of a building. Johnny's eyes are 6 feet above the ground and he stands 4 feet away from the mirror. From that distance, Johnny is able to see the top of the building in the mirror as shown in the diagram below.


If the mirror is 45 feet away from the building’s base, how tall is the building
please show step by step

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

θ = angle of incidence = angle of reflection

You have two similar triangles.

tanθ = 6/4 = h/45

h = 45×6/4 = 67.5 ft

The required height of the building is 67.5 feet.

Johnny uses a mirror placed on level ground to measure the height of a building. Johnny's eyes are 6 feet above the ground and he stands 4 feet away from the mirror. If the mirror is 45 feet away from the building’s base, how tall the building is determined.

What is the triangle?

The triangle is a geometric shape that includes 3 sides and the sum of the interior angle should not be greater than 180°

Since the two triangles are similar,
Let the height of the building is x.
The ratio of height and distance from the mirror Jhonny = height and distance of mirror from the building.
6/4=x/45
x = 11.25*6
x = 67.5

Thus, the required height of the building is 67.5 feet.

8*x = 4*9

8x = 36

x = 4.5

Answer:

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number = n

Therefore, we can decode your question in the following manner:

8 x n = 4 x 9

Recognize that 4 x 9 = 36

So, 8 x n = 36

Lets divide 8 in both sides

n = 36/8 = 9/2

Therefore, n = 9/2

Find:

g(5)

g(5) - f(1)

Computation:

how do you write the equation of a line (in slope intercept form) with three given points?​

Answers

With even just two points, you can find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] is the y-intercept

1) Solve for the slope ([tex]m[/tex])

The equation to solve for the slope is [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] when the two points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. Plug the coordinates of these points into the equation and solve for [tex]m[/tex].

Then, plug [tex]m[/tex] into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex].

1) Solve for the y-intercept ([tex]b[/tex])

Then, take any of the given points and plug it into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] along with the slope. Isolate [tex]b[/tex] to get the y-intercept. Then, plug both m and b back into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] to get your final equation.

I hope this helps!

You only need two points to write the equation of a line.

Slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

I’m going to use the points (5,3) and (8,5) to show how to write the equation.

First, find the slope. The formula to find the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. With my points, the slope equation would look like this:
m=(5-3)/(8-5)
m=2/3

I put this into my point slope formula
y=2/3x+b

To find out the b (y-intercept), I plug in one pair of points, then solve for b. I will use (5,3)

3=2/3(5)+b
3=10/3+b
-1/3=b

I can now add b to my equation, and get y=2/3x-1/3

To double check this, I could graph this line and make sure that it crosses my selected points. Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) V = 35.1 in.^3

b) V = 288 pi in.^3

c) h = 2.7 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

radius of base = 2 in.

height = 8 in.

volume of cone = (1/3)(pi)(r^2)h

V = (1/3)(pi)(2 in.)^2(8 in.)

V = 35.1 in.^3

You are correct.

b)

You must leave the answer in terms of pi, so do not use 3.14 or another approximation for pi.

radius of base = 6 in.

height = 24 in.

volume of cylinder = (pi)(r^2)h

V = (1/3)(pi)(6 in.)^2(24 in.)

V = 288 pi in.^3

c)

volume = 288 pi in.^3

radius = 18 in.

288 pi in.^3 = (1/3)(pi)(18 in)^2 h

288 in. = (1/3)(324)h

288 in. = 108h

h = 2.666 in.

h = 2.7 in.

A tablecloth has a length of
9/8 meters and a breadth of 5/8 meters. What is the area of the tablecloth? ​

Answers

Answer:

45/64 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the length and width of the tablecloth (breath = width).

Length = 9/8 mWidth = 5/8 m

We know that the formula for the area of a rectangle is A = L × W.

Assuming the tablecloth is in the shape of a rectangle (since the problem gives us length and width), we can substitute the length and width into the formula.

A = 9/8 × 5/8 A = 45/64

The area of the tablecloth is 45/64 m².

the area of a rectangle knitted blanket is 9x^2-6x-8. What are the possible dimensions of the blanket? Use factoring​

Answers

Answer:

3x+2 and 3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the quadratic equation 9x²-6x-8.

first, multiply 9 and -8 together (factors a*c, which equals to the sum that is b)

the result is -72

now think:

which two numbers add up to -6, but when multiplied, equal -72?

Those two numbers are -12 and 6

we can expand the polynomial:

9x²-12x+6x-8

factor by grouping:

3x(3x-4)+2(3x-4)

(3x-4)(3x+2)

so, the dimensions of the blanket are (3x-4) and (3x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of the larger square - area of the smaller square

✔️Area of the larger square = s²

= (5x - 4)²

= (5x - 4)(5x - 4)

= 5x(5x - 4) -4(5x - 4)

= 25x² - 20x - 20x + 16

= 25x² - 40x + 16

✔️Area of smaller square = s²

= (x + 3)² = (x + 3)(x + 3)

= x(x + 3) +3(x + 3)

= x² + 3x + 3x + 9

= x² + 6x + 9

✔️Area of the shaded region = (25x² - 40x + 16) - (x² + 6x + 9)

= 25x² - 40x + 16 - x² - 6x - 9 (distributive property)
