Using the Poisson distribution, we have that:

  • There is a 0.0859 = 8.59% probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April.
  • There is a 0.00022 = 0.022% probability of having less than three days of precipitation in the month of April.
  • There is a 0.2364 = 23.64% probability of having more than 15 days of precipitation in the month of April.

<h3>What is the Poisson distribution?</h3>

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

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes
  • e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
  • \mu is the mean in the given interval.

For this problem, the mean is given as follows:

\mu = 13

The probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April is P(X = 10), hence:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 10) = \frac{e^{-13}13^{10}}{(10)!} = 0.0859

There is a 0.0859 = 8.59% probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April.

The probability of having less than three days of precipitation in the month of April is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

In which:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-13}13^{0}}{(0)!} \ approx 0

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-13}13^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00003

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-13}13^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.00019

Then:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0 + 0.00003 + 0.00019 = 0.00022

There is a 0.00022 = 0.022% probability of having less than three days of precipitation in the month of April.

For more than 15 days, the probability is:

P(X > 15) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + ... + P(X = 20)

Applying the formula for each of these values and adding them, we have that P(X > 15) = 0.2364, hence:

There is a 0.2364 = 23.64% probability of having more than 15 days of precipitation in the month of April.

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 201
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Choice D

Explanation:

The increase of 9.8% rounds to 10% when rounding to the nearest ten

An increase of 10% would use the multiplier 1.1

Think of it like saying 1 + 0.10 = 100% + 10%

Similarly, the 5.1% rounds to 5% and an increase of this amount will use the multiplier 1.05

So if we started with 20 items, then 20(1.1)(1.05) is the expression that estimates an increase of 10% followed by an increase of 5%. The order doesn't matter (so you could increase by 5% first, then 10% later).

For which values of the parameter B the following system admits a unique solution [ 1 b 1-b 2 2 0 2–2B 4 0] [x y z] = [1 2 0]
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: β ≠ ±1

Step-by-step explanation: For a system of equations to have an unique solution, its determinant must be different from 0: det |A| ≠ 0. So,

det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta&1-\beta\\2&2&0\\2-2\beta&4&0\end{array}\right] ≠ 0

Determinant of a 3x3 matrix is calculated by:

det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta&1-\beta\\2&2&0\\2-2\beta&4&0\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&\beta\\2&2\\2-2\beta&4\end{array}\right]

8(1-\beta)-[2(2-2\beta)(1-\beta)]

8-8\beta-4+8\beta-4\beta^{2}

-4\beta^{2}+4\neq 0

\beta^{2}\neq 1

\beta \neq \sqrt{1}

β ≠ ±1

For the system to have only one solution, β ≠ 1 or β ≠ -1.

4 friends evenly divided up a n- slice pizza. One of the friends , Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received. How many slices o
LenKa [72]

4 friends evenly dividing up a n - slice pizza

So each one get \frac{n}{4} slices of pizza.

 For example, if n = 12 slice then each friend gets 12/4 = 3 pieces.  If Harris ate one slice less then he ate  \frac{12}{4}-1=3 -1 =  2 pieces.

So the general expression for slices of pizza did Harris eat is

\frac{n}{4}-1
