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.

Holden drove 110 miles in 2 3/4 hours. What was Holden's speed in miles per hour?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Holden's seed is 40 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The distance Holden drove = 110 miles

The  time duration in which Holden drove = 2 and 3/4 hours = 11/4 hours = 2.75 hours

Therefore, Holden's speed, s, can be found from the relationship;

Speed, s = Distance/time = 110 miles/(11/4 hours) = 40 miles per hour

Holden's seed = 40 miles per hour.

Last year, Nicholas started babysitting to earn extra spending money. Over the summer, he tracked how much money he earned at ea
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 values of the given box plot are;

The minimum value = 20

The first quartile, the 25th percentile point, Q₁ = 25

The median or second quartile, the 50th percentile point, Q₂ = 30

The third quartile, the 75th percentile point, Q₃ = 40

The maximum value = 55

The range = The maximum value - The minimum value

∴ The range = 55 - 20 = 35

We note that Nicholas earned $25 or less from the minimum value up to first quartile, Q₁, which is the 25th percentile point, where we have 25 percent of the data points

Therefore, the percent of the time Nicholas earned $25 or less is 25 percent of the time.
