False.
Replace x with 0 and solve:
2(0) + 3 = 0+ 3 = 3
3 is not greater than 13 so the answer is false.
Answer:
The probability is 0.503
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson process with mean m, the time between appearances follows a exponential distribution with mean 1/m. so, the probability that the next ghost appearance happens before x hours is equal to:

Then, replacing m by 1.4 ghosts per hour we get:

Additionally, The exponential distribution have a memoryless property, so if it is now 1:00 p.m. and we want the probability that ghost appear before 1:30 p.m., we need to find the difference in hours from 1:00 p.m and 1:30 p.m. no matter that the last ghost appearance was at 12:35 p.m.
Therefore, there are 0.5 hours between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m, so the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m is calculated as:

Since
and
, we can rewrite the right side of the equation as

Using the identity
, we can subtract
from either side to obtain the identity 
substituting that into our previous expression, the right side of our equation simply becomes

We can now write our whole equation as

Adding 2 to both sides:

dividing both sides by 3:


When 0 ≤ x ≤ π, tan x can only be equal to 1 when sin x = cos x, which happens at x = π/4, and it can only be equal to -1 when -sin x = cos x, which happens at x = 3π/4
