Answer:

P(X=6)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=6) =3^6 \frac{e^{-3}}{6!}=0.05041

So then we can conclude that the statement is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and concepts

The Poisson process is useful when we want to analyze the probability of ocurrence of an event in a time specified. The probability distribution for a random variable X following the Poisson distribution is given by:

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

And the parameter \lambda= 3 represent the average ocurrence rate per unit of time.

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(X=6)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=6) =3^6 \frac{e^{-3}}{6!}=0.05041

So then we can conclude that the statement is True.

Answer:

The given statement is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the number of airplanes arriving at an airport per minute is a Poisson process with the mean number of airplanes arriving per minute is 3.

Let X = Distribution of number of airplanes arriving at an airport per minute

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda)

The mean of Poisson distribution is given by, E(X) = \lambda = 3

which means, X ~ Poisson(3)

The probability distribution function of a Poisson random variable is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}; for  x=0,1,2,3...

Probability that exactly 6 planes arrive in the next minute = P(X = 6)

    P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{6!} = \frac{e^{-3}*729}{720} = 0.05041

Therefore, the given statement is true.

Find the measure of ∠COB in the figure. answers: A) 24° B) 48° C) 72° D) 132°
jasenka [17]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation: COB and DOA are vertical angles. This means the two of them have the same measure. Because we know the measuremen of DOA, we can easily find the measuremen for COB since these angles are the same, so COB is 48 degrees.

Write the equation in spherical coordinates. (a) 4x2 − 3x + 4y2 + 4z2 = 0
spayn [35]
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2=0
here we shall proceed as follows:
x=ρcosθsinφ
y=ρsinθsinφ
z=ρcosφ
thus
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2=
4(ρcosθsinφ)^2-3(ρcosθsinφ)+4(ρsinθsinφ)^2+4(ρcosφ)
but
ρ=1/4cosθsinφ

hence we shall have:
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2
=1/4cosθsinθ(cosθ(4-3sinφ))+4sin^2(φ)

A manager at the bookstore must arrange a collection of 231 books for display. The manager decides to use a combination of 15 sh
Kitty [74]

Answer:

6 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has 15 shelves, we can put the overall number of books off to the side for a moment. First calculate how many books he COULD put onto shelves. This would be 7*15, since each of fifteen shelves can hold 7 books. Counting by fifteens or using a calculator allows us to see that the shelves can hold 105 books.

Going back to the original number of books, we subtract 105 from the original value. The equation at this point is 231 - 105. The result is 126 books left to put on top of tables. But we're not done yet!

Since a table can hold 25 books, we need to divide the remaining number of books by 25. That would be 126/25. Doing this gives us 5 tables we would need, plus one book let over. Since we've run out of shelves, we MUST use another table just for the final book. That's 5+1, or 6 tables. Let's not forget to label our answer.

Answer:

\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}

<u>Circumference</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>a </u><u>circle </u><u>is </u><u>given </u><u>by </u>

<u>C = 2\pi \: r</u>

  • Given - <u>Diameter</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>circle </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>yards</u>

radius =  \frac{diameter}{2}  =  \frac{10}{2}  \\  \\ \implies \: 5 \: yards

now ,
