Chris and Jim must replace a <em>total</em> quantity of 17 tyres.

<h3>What is the minimum number of tyres to be replaced?</h3>

In this problem we must use an inequality of the form f(x) ≥ a, where f(x) is the difference between the number of tyres replaced by Jim and the number of tyres replaced by Chris:

(25/20) · x - x ≥ 3

(5/20) · x ≥ 3

x ≥ 12

Then, the <em>minimum</em> number of tyres to be replaced is n = 15 + 12 = 17 tyres.

Answer:

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Over a long period of time, an average of 14 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Each minute has 60 seconds, so $\mu = \frac{14}{60} = 0.2333$
