Answer:
a) correct option is
Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49
b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is 0.0536
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
mean number is given as 6.2
correct option is
Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49
we know that variance is given as
hence, standard deviation is given as 
thus standard deviation is 2.49
correct option is
Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49
b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is


= 0.002029 + 0.012582+ 0.039006
= 0.053617
= 0.0536
In the attachment is a graph of the cosine function that represents changing of the tide.
y max = 10 ft at midnight
y min = 5 ft at 6 AM
All of these points have the same y coordinate so this is a horizontal line which has a slope of 0.
Slope intercept is y=mx+b
m=slope
slope if found by
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
(x,y)
(-1,-2) and
(1,2)
x1=-1
y1=-2
x2=1
y2=2
m=(-1-1)/(-2-2)
m=-2/-4
m=1/2
y=1/2x+b
solve fo by subsituting one x value
(1,2)
x=1
y=2
2=1/2(1)+b
2=1/2+b
subtract 1/2
3/2=b
equation is
y=1/2x+3/2
Just add that’s by 6 then times it by 5 the add 3 to it
