The mathematical term "opposite of" means B. negative. An example can be perceived in a Cartesian coordinate system in which the opposite of -3 is +3 or of -1 is +1. Opposite means the opposite sign of a specific number.

Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

a) \simeq 0.3012   b) \simeq 0.0494 c) \simeq 0.2438

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of collision,

1.2 collisions every 4 months

or, \frac{1.2}{4}

= 0.3 collisions per  month

So, the Poisson distribution for the random variable no. of collisions per month (X) is given by,

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


                                                           for x ∈ N ∪ {0}

                       =  0 otherwise --------------------------------------(1)

here, \lambda = 0.3 collision / month

No collision over a 4 month period means no collision per month or X =0

Putting X = 0 in (1) we get,

         P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{0}}{0!}


                      \simeq 0.7408182207 ------------------------------------(2)

Now, since we are calculating  this for 4 months,

so, P(No collision in 4 month period)

     =0.7408182207^{4}

     \simeq 0.3012  -----------------------------------------------------------(3)

2 collision in 2 month period means 1 collision per month or X =1

Putting X =1 in (1) we get,

           P(X =1) = \frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{1}}{1!}


                      \simeq 0.2222454662 ------------------------------------(4)

Now, since we are calculating this for 2 months, so ,

P(2 collisions in 2 month period)

                =0.2222454662^{2}

                \simeq 0.0494 -----------------------------------------(5)

1 collision in 6 months period means

                                \frac{1}{6} collision per month

Now, P(1 collision in 6 months period)

= P( X = 1/6]  (which is to be estimated)

=\frac {P(X=0)\times 5 + P(X =1)\times 1}{6}

= \frac {0.7408182207 \times 5 + 0.2222454662 \times 1}{6}[/tex]

\simeq 0.6543894283-------------------------------------------(6)

So,

P(1  collision in 6 month period)

  =  0.6543894283^{6}

   \simeq 0.0785267444 ------------------------------------------------(7)

So,

P(No collision in 6 months period)

  = (P(X =0)^{6}

   \simeq 0.1652988882 ---------------------------------(8)

so,

P(1 or fewer collision in 6 months period)

= (8) + (7 ) = 0.0785267444 +0.1652988882

\simeq  0.2438 ---------------------------------------------(9)

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 16 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.
