Answer:

Find the multiplicative inverse of the following

(i) -13 (ii) -13/19 (iii) 1/5 (iv) -5/8 × -3/7 (v) -1 × -2/5

(vi) -1

Solution:

The reciprocal of a given rational number is known as its multiplicative inverse. The product of a rational number and its multiplicative inverse is 1.

(i) The Multiplicative inverse of -13 is -1/13

∵ -13 × (-1/13) = 1

(ii) The Multiplicative inverse of -13/19 is -19/13

∵ -13/19 × (-19/13) = 1

(iii) The Multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5

∵ 1/5 × 5 = 1

(iv) The Multiplicative inverse of -5/8 × -3/7 is 56/15

∵ -5/8 × (-3/7) = 15/56 and 15/56 × 56/15 = 1

(v) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 × -2/5 is 5/2

∵ -1 × (-2/5) = 2/5 and 2/5 × 5/2 = 1

(vi) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 is -1

∵ -1 × (-1) = 1

Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

$P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^k }{k!}$

$P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^0 }{0!} = 0.1108$

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that $P(X \in \{0,1,2\} = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$ . And

$P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) = e^{-2.2} * (1 + 2.2 + 2.2^2/2) = 0.6227$

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.
