Answer:

-7/10

Explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{1}{2}-1\frac{1}{5}$

We can rewrite the expression as:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{5}{10}-\frac{12}{10}$

The number line showing the location of the two numbers is attached below. Therefore:

$\frac{5}{10}-\frac{12}{10}=-\frac{7}{10}$

Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. The mean

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

0.1606 = 16.06% probability that the number of births in any given minute is exactly five.

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.

In this question:

We only have the mean during an interval, and this is why we use the Poisson distribution.

The mean number of births per minute in a given country in a recent year was about 6.

This means that $\mu = 6$

Find the probability that the number of births in any given minute is exactly five.

This is P(X = 5). So

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1606$

0.1606 = 16.06% probability that the number of births in any given minute is exactly five.
