USA Today reported that Parkfield, California, is dubbed the world's earthquake capital because it sits on top of the notorious

San Andreas fault. Since 1857, Parkfield has had a major earthquake on the average of 1.2 times every 22 years. Explain why a Poisson probability distribution would be a good choice for r = number of earthquakes in a given time interval.

Answer:

probability of Number of earth quakes in a fixed interval of time is to be determined at a mean rate of 1.2 times once every 22 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson probability distribution is used to determine probability of an event in a fixed interval of time and space given that the event occurs with known mean rate and independently of time since its last occurance.

In this scenario,

Mean is 1.2 times once every 22 years.

probability of number of earth quakes in any fixed interval of time is to be determined

occurance of event that is number of earth quake in a fixed interval is independent variable.

After you subtract both sides by 4. How can you solve for 3x in this equation?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Once you subtract both sides, the 4 is gone then the 10 is subtracted into a 6. You go to the 3x, and just like what you did to the 4 you do the opposite and divide the 3 by itself and the 6 by 3 as well.

Len [333]

Answer:

7 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the first 13 was a mistake then the equation would be 13 1/2 + 2n = 27 3/4

subtrace 13 1/2 from 27 3/4

14 1/4

divide by 2

Match each equation to its solution.

Good job you got it right! But others won’t be able to find it because you have a basic writing for it. Next time put the actual equations on so others can find it!
