Answer: a) P(x=0) = 0.0907, b) P(x≥10) = 0.7986
Step-by-step explanation: the probability mass function of a possion probability distribution is given as
P(x=r) = (e^-λ)×(λ^r) /r!
Where λ = fixed rate at which the event is occurring and each event is independent of each other = 2.4
a) P(x= at least one) = P(x≥1)
P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)
But P(x<1) = P(x=0) { we can not continue to negative values because our values of x can only take positive values of integer}
Hence, P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x=0)
P(x=0) = e^-2.4 * 2.4^0/(0!)
P(x=0) = 0.0907×1/1
P(x=0) = 0.0907
b) if the average number of hits in 1 minutes is 2.4 then for 5 minutes we have 2.4×5 = 12.
Hence λ = 12.
P(x= at least 10) =P(x≥10) = 1 - P(x≤9)
P(x≤9) will be gotten using a cumulative possion probability distribution table whose area is to the left of the distribution.
From the table P(x≤9) = 0.2014.
P(x≥10) = 1 - 0.20140
P(x≥10) = 0.7986
I'm going to assume that the question should say “at a profit of 5%”.
Restate question in the form of a equation.
Let C = the cost price of the item.
C + 0.705 C = C - 0.05 C + Rs 50
0.05 C = - 0.05 C + Rs 50
0.10 C = Rs 50
C = Rs 500
The cost price of the item is Rs 500
I hope this help you
Answer:
The complement event would be: "No rain today"
Its probability would be 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the event:
A= rain today
The probability of rain today is 30%
P(A)=30%=0.3
The complement event has all the values that are not included in the event.
The complement event would be:
A'= No rain today
The probability of a event is the subtraction between 1 and the complement event:
P(A')=1-P(A)
Then, the probability of the event "No rain today" will be:
P(A')=1-0.3=0.7=70%
The value of x is 2 because we can compare like terms
Answer:
you will 180 pints of the 100% juice and 540 pints of the 40% juice
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to get a 55% mixture you must combine 1 100% and 3 40%
100 + 120 = 220 then divide by 4 and you get 55% juice
now you must use 180 100% juice and 540 40 % juice to make 180 pints
you need this because the ratio is 3 40% to every 1 100%
