In order to solve this kind of problem, we must find the difference between two negative numbers describing elevation. Although when you have 2 negative numbers in a subtraction-elevation problem, the elevation difference won't be negative... It would be positive. -56 - (-14) would usually equal -42 feet but that would just describe a regular negative subtraction problem, so it becomes 42 feet. This answer is positive since it describe the distance between these integers.

Suppose lightning strikes at an average of 1.4 strikes per minute during a particular storm. You play the following game: if the
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

$3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean, λ = 1.4

Strike within next minute = $3 won

Strike between one and 2 minutes = $5

Strike more than 2 minutes = $1

Probability that next strike occurs within the next minute :

Using poisson :

P(x < 1) = 1 - e^-(λx) ;

P(x < 1) = 1 - e^-(1.4*1) = 1 - e^-1.4

P(x < 1) = 1 - 0.2465969

P(x < 1) = 0.7534030

Next strike occurs between 1 and 2 minutes :

(1 < x < 2) :

P(x < 2) - P(x < 1)

P(x < 2) = 1 - e^-(λx) ;

P(x < 2) = 1 - e^-(1.4*2) = 1 - e^-2.8

P(x < 2) = 1 - 0.0608100

P(x < 2) = 0.9391899

P(x < 2) - P(x < 1)

0.9391899 - 0.7534030 = 0.1857869

P(striking after 2 minutes)

P(x > 2) = e^-(λx) ;

P(x > 2) = e^-(1.4*2) = e^-2.8

P(x > 2) = 0.0608100

Amount charged :

(0.7534030 * 3) + (0.1857869 * 5) + (0.06081 * 1)

= 3.2499

= $3.25
