Can you please help me?

irina [24]

So for this you just want to divide 4/5 by 9/10 because it is the opposite of the equation.

9/10 / 4/5

To divide fractions, you just multiply and reverse the second fraction.

For example:

9/10 * 5/4

Now you can just normally multiply.

45/40

Or, simplified,

9/8

(Or 1 1/8)

Select all the rational numbers.

frez [133]

Answer:

1, 4, & 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. is a fraction and fractions are rational numbers

2. 11 is not a perfect square so the answer should be a terminating decimal and terminating decimals are irrational numbers

3. is a terminating decimal and an irrational number

4. .23 is a decimal which is a rational number since it can be made into the fraction 23/100

5. is a terminating decimal which is an irrational number

6. is a fraction which is a rational number

A major hurricane is a hurricane with wind speeds of 111 miles per hour or greater. During the 20th century the mean number of t

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a) 0.3293 = 32.93% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is exactly one.

b) 0.878 = 87.8% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is at most one.

c) 0.122 = 12.2% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is more than one.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during an interval, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

During the 20th century the mean number of the major hurricanes to strike U.S mainland per year was 0.6.

This means that $\mu = 0.6$

Find the probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is:

a) Exactly one

This is P(X = 1). So

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.6}*0.6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3293$

0.3293 = 32.93% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is exactly one.

b) At most one

This is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.6}*0.6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.5488$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.6}*0.6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3293$

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.5488 + 0.3292 = 0.878$

0.878 = 87.8% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is at most one.

c) More than one

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.878 = 0.122$

0.122 = 12.2% probability that the number of major hurricane to strike U.S mainland in any any give year is more than one.
