N = 7

(n * -4) + 4 = -24
-4 -4

Subtract 4 from both sides.
Now you should have
(n * -4) = -28
Now multiply n by -4 (you could've also done this before subtracting 4)

This should cause your equation to be
-4n = -28
Divide both sides by -4 in order to get n by itself (or make it equal 1)

n = 7

When network cards are communicating, bits can occasionally be corrupted in transmission. Engineers have de- termined that the n

ycow [4]

Answer:

a) 11.40% probability of 5 bits being in error during the transmission of 1 kb

b) 11.60% probability of 8 bits being in error during the transmission of 2 kb

c) 0.01% probability of no error bits in 3kb

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 giveninterval.

Poisson distribution with mean of 3.2 bits/kb (per kilobyte).

This means that $\mu = 3.2kb$ , in which kb is the number of kilobytes.

(a) What is the probability of 5 bits being in error during the transmission of 1 kb?

This is P(X = 5) when $\mu = 3.2$

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

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3.2}*3.2^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1140$

11.40% probability of 5 bits being in error during the transmission of 1 kb

(b) What is the probability of 8 bits being in error during the transmission of 2 kb?

This is P(X = 8) when $\mu = 2*3.2 = 6.4$

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

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-6.4}*6.4^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1160$

11.60% probability of 8 bits being in error during the transmission of 2 kb

(c) What is the probability of no error bits in 3kb?

This is P(X = 0) when $\mu = 3*3.2 = 9.6$

Then

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-9.6}*9.6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0001$

0.01% probability of no error bits in 3kb

A line is parallel to y = -2x + 1 and intersects the point (4, 1). What is the equation of this parallel line?

Furkat [3]

Using the point slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

m is the slope, because the lines are parallel the slope is identical, so m = -2.

Replace x1 and y1 with the given point and then solve for y:

y - 1 = -2(x-4)

Simplify:

y - 1 = -2x + 8

Add 1 to both sides:

y = -2x +9
