Situation D: Suppose that, in a one-minute period during an electrical storm, the number of lightning strikes on a radar antenna

follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 2.40. Question D1: Find the probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

Answer:

21.77% probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question:

\mu = 2.40

Find the probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

This is P(X = 1).

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

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2.40}*2.40^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2177

21.77% probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

Write the equation of the line parallel to Y equals 2/3X +1 through the point (0,-4)  use slope intercept form
Andrew [12]

Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.

Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{3}x+b \\ (0,-4)\colon \\ -4=\frac{2}{3}\cdot0+b \\ b+0=-4 \\ b=-4 \end{gathered}

So our equation is:

y=\frac{2}{3}x-4

y = 2/3x - 4
