In analyzing hits by certain bombs in a​ war, an area was partitioned into ​regions, each with an area of km2. A total of bombs

hit the combined area of regions. Assume that we want to find the probability that a randomly selected region had exactly 3 hits.

x is 3 that is the number of hits

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

μ is the mean in the given interval = 0.967

There is 5.72% probability that a randomly selected region had exactly three hits.

Let X be the random variable denoting the number of bombs hitting the selected sample.

The following formula determines the likelihood that x in a Poisson distribution corresponds to the number of successes of a random variable.

P(X = x) = e^₋μ × μˣ / (x)!

Here, X is the random variable denoting the number of bombs hitting the selected sample.

μ is the mean number of hits per region.

e is the constant value.

Since 535 bombs struck a total of 553 regions, the ratio of strikes per region to the total number of regions is 535 to 553.

μ = 535 / 553

μ = 0.967

Assume that we want to find the probability that a randomly selected region had exactly 3 hits.

which means, P(X = 3)

P(X = x) = e^₋μ × μˣ / (x)!

P(X = 3) = e^₋0.967 × (0.967)³/ (3)!

             = 0.057

There is approximately 5.72% probability that a randomly selected region had exactly three hits.

In analyzing hits by certain bombs in a​ war, an area was partitioned into ​553 regions, each with an area of 0.95 km². A total of 535 bombs hit the combined area of regions. Assume that we want to find the probability that a randomly selected region had exactly 3 hits.In applying the Poisson probability distribution formula,  P(X) = e^₋μ × μˣ / (x)!, identify the values of μ, x and e. Also , briefly describe what each of those symbols represent.

Can someone answer this
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x         6         a

8       48        c  

-4        b       20

Let the unknown numbers of the multiplication grid are a, b and c.

1). 6 × 8 = 48

2). (-4)×6 = b

    b = -24

3). (-4) × a = 20

   a = -5

4). 8 × a = c

    8 × (-5) = c

    c = -40

Therefore, missing in the given multiplication grid are,

x         6        -5

8       48       -40  

-4      -24       20

In Kayllie'srecipe for lemonade, the ratio of lemons to water is 7 to 4. People are complaining that the lemonade is too weak. W
katrin [286]

Answer:

B.) 10 to 5 and D.) 8 to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to make the lemon taste stronger, there would need to be more lemons than water. The ratio would need to have a larger difference than 7:4. The difference is 3.

Choice A has a difference of 2. Two is less than 3 so this would taste more watery than lemony. Choice C has a difference of 3. Because we want a <em>stronger</em> lemon taste, this won't work. It would taste the same.

Choice B has a difference of 5. This is greater than 3 so the lemon taste will be stronger. Choice D has a difference of 4, this is also greater than 3 and will also make the taste of lemon stronger.

Hope this helps,

Sally is 10 years older than one fifth of her mother’s age. If Sally is 20 years old, how old is her mother?
slamgirl [31]

S = Sally

M = Mother

S = M/5 + 10

20 = M/5 + 10

20 - 10 = M/5

10 = M/5

M = 10 * 5

M = 50

----------------

Her mother is 50 yo

-----------------

50 : 5 + 10 = 20

the answer is good
