Answer: y = -5*x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

IIf we have a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the slope of the line is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this case we can see that the line passes through the points:

(0, 2) and (1, - 3)

Then the slope is:

a = (-3 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -5

Then our line is:

y = -5*x + b

And when x = 0, y = 2 then:

y = 2 = -5*0 + b

2 = b

Our line is:

y = -5*x + b

An apartment complex rents an average of 2.3 new units per week. If the number of apartment rented each week Poisson distributed

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Poisson Distribution;

Average rent in a week = 2.3

Required

Determine the probability of renting no more than 1 apartment

A Poisson distribution is given as;

$P(X = x) = \frac{y^xe^{-y}}{x!}$

Where y represents λ (average)

y = 2.3

Probability of renting no more than 1 apartment = Probability of renting no apartment + Probability of renting 1 apartment

Using probability notations;

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

Solving for P(X = 0) [substitute 0 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 0) = \frac{2.3^0 * e^{-2.3}}{0!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{1 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 0) = e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 0) = 0.10025884372$

Solving for P(X = 1) [substitute 1 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3^1 * e^{-2.3}}{1!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 1) =2.3 * e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 1) = 2.3 * 0.10025884372$

$P(X = 1) = 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.10025884372 + 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.33085418427$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Hence, the required probability is 0.331
