The probability that, for any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3 is 0.1633.

<h3>What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?</h3>

The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the likelihood of a specific number of events occurring in a specified span of time or space, if these events occur at a constant mean rate and regardless of the time since the last occurrence.

Let X ~ Pois(λ)

Then we have:

E(X) = λ = Var(X)

Since standard deviation is the square root (positive) of variance,

Thus,

The standard deviation of X = \sqrt{\lambda}

Its probability function is given by

f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) =   \dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

Given the mean is 4.2.

We have to find the probability that on any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3. Therefore, the value of x will be 5.

Using the Poisson distribution,

P(x) = \dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda ^x}{x!}\\\\P(5) =\dfrac{e^{-4.2}(4.2)^5}{5!}\\\\P(5) = 0.1633

Hence, the probability that, for any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3 is 0.1633.

Answer:

  4x^3 − 16x^2 − 12x − 40

Step-by-step explanation:

= 4(x)(x^2 +x +2) +4(-5)(x^2 +x +2) . . . use the distributive property

= 4x^3 +4x^2 +8x -20x^2 -20x -40 . . . . and again

= 4x^3 -16x^2 -12x -40

A kangaroo hooped 3,520 yards to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 5,280 yard without her baby in he
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

since she hopped in yards you must mulitiply both numbers 3520 and 5280 by 3 since there are three feet in a yard. then add together then divide the sum by 5280 since a mile is 5280 feet.

3520 X 3 = 10560

5280 X 3 = 15840

10560 + 15840 = 26400

26400/ 5280 = 5
