The mean number of daily surgeries at a local hospital is 6.2. Assume that surgeries are random, independent events. (a) The cou

nt of daily surgeries follows approximately: A Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 3.1. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 1.76. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 3.8. A Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 6.2. (b) The probability that there would be only 2 or fewer surgeries in a given day is approximately (round to 4 decimal places):

Answer:

1)  Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49.

2) 0.0536

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean of daily surgeries = 6.2

a) The count of daily surgeries can be treated as a Poisson distribution.

  • The Poisson distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of events occurring in a given time period, given the average number of times the event occurs over that time period.
  • The variance of Poisson distribution is equal to the mean of Poisson distribution.

Variance = 6.2

Standard deviation = \sqrt{6.2} = 2.49

a) Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49.

2) P( 2 or less surgeries)

Formula:

P(X =k) = \displaystyle\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\\\\ \lambda \text{ is the mean of the distribution}

P( x \leq 2) = P(x =0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)\\\\= \displaystyle\frac{6.2^0 e^{-6.2}}{0!} + \displaystyle\frac{6.2^1 e^{-6.2}}{1!} + \displaystyle\frac{6.2^2 e^{-6.2}}{2!}\\\\ = 0.00203+ 0.01259 + 0.03900\\\\= 0.0536 = 5.36\%

Answer:

17.67 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel efficiency is given by :

\eta=1.437+0.541\times s

We need to find the fuel efficiency for a speed of 30 mph

Put the value of s equals 30 mph in the above equation.

\eta=1.437+0.541\times 30\\\\\eta=17.67\ mpg

So, the required fuel efficiency is equal to 17.67 mpg.

X + 2y = 10
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

(-12,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 10

3x + 4y = 8

(-2)x + (-2)2y = (-2)10

3x    + 4y       = 8

-2x - 4y = -20

3x  + 4y = 8

Add to eliminate:

x = -12

Substitute x to solve y:

x + 2y = 10

(-12) + 2y = 10

-12 + 2y = 10

2y = 10 + 12

2y = 22

y = 22 ÷ 2

y = 11

Check:

x + 2y = 10

(-12) + 2(11) = 10

-12 + 22 = 10

10 = 10
