Answer:

The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information,

Number of rocket hits     |    Observed number of regions

0                                       |                       228

1                                        |                       214

2                                       |                        94

3                                       |                        32

4                                       |                         7

5                                       |                        0

6                                       |                        0

7                                       |                         1

We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.

The mean or expected value is given by

\mu = \sum (x \cdot P(x)) \\\\\mu = (0 \cdot 228) + (1 \cdot 214) + (2 \cdot 94) + (3 \cdot 32) + (4 \cdot 7) + (5 \cdot 0) + (6 \cdot 0) + (7 \cdot 1) \\\\\mu = 0 + 214 +188+ 96 +28 +0+ 0 + 7 \\\\\mu = 533

Therefore, the mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Rudiy27
Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure. 

The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.

tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²

Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
