In 1898, L. J. Bortkiewicz published a book called The Law of Small Numbers, where using data he collected for twenty years, he

showed that the number of soldiers killed by horse kicks each year in the Prussian army followed a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.61. What is the probability that there will be exactly three deaths in two years?

Answer:

given : 0.61 per year

formula poisson probability : p(x=k)=xke-x/k!

(a) The parameter λ is the product of the rate per year and the number of years. The number of years is 1 year in this case.

λ=0.61×1=0.61

Evaluate the formula of the Poisson probability at k=0,1:

P(X=0)= 0!

(0.61)

0

e

−0.61

​

≈0.5434

P(X=1)=

1!

(0.61)

1

e

−0.61

​

≈0.3314

Add the corresponding probabilities:

P(X≤1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)=0.5434+0.3114=0.8748

Use the complement rule:

P(X>1)=1−P(X≤1)=1−0.8748=0.1252

Note: The solution in the back of the book is the probability of at least one death instead of more than 1 death, thus the solution in the back of the book is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is prob wrong so im sorry in advance!

Determine whether Point A lies on the circle whose center is Point C and whichcontains the Point P. Justify your answer mathemat
Arada [10]

The Solution:

Given:

Center = (0,0)

Point A = (-5,2) being a point on the circle.

We are required to check if point P = (2,-5) is on the circle.

Solving the given problem graphically, we have:

From the above graph, it is clear that point P(2,-5) is a point on the circle.

find the x intercept of the graph of the equation y equals -2.65 x + 25. what does the x intercept mean in terms of the situatio
natali 33 [55]
Ok so we can see for every 2 cups of medium coffee, the balance goes down 5.30$. So that means that for every coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. Solving for the x-intercept means how many medium coffees can I get until my balance is 0. First, we have to find the y-int so it's easy. The slope is -2.65 because for every medium coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. So we have y=-2.65x+b. Plugging in any point, I choose (4,14.40), we get 14.4 = -2.65 × 4 +b. Solving for b we get 25 for the y intercept, meaning the equation is y = -2.65x + 25 . To find the x intercept, we set y=0. So we have 0 = -2.65x+25. Solving for x we get approx. 9.4. We can't have decimals so we round down to 9. So the x int is ≈ 9.4 meaning we can only buy 9 coffee and have a little extra. But, if the problem said how many more coffees can she get, then here is how we do it. Since she already got 4 coffees, and the max is 9, we do 9-4 and we get 5, so she can buy 5 coffeed more.
