Answer:
The probability of the number of starfish dropping below 3 is 0.0463.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X represent the number of starfish in the tide pool.
X follows a Poisson distribution with mean 6.4.
The formula for Poisson distribution is as follows.
![P(X=x) = e^{-6.4} * [6.4^{x} / x!] when x = 0, 1, ...](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%3Dx%29%20%3D%20e%5E%7B-6.4%7D%20%2A%20%5B6.4%5E%7Bx%7D%20%2F%20x%21%5D%20when%20x%20%3D%200%2C%201%2C%20...)
otherwise
We need to find the probability that the number of starfish in the tide pool drops below 3.
Therefore, the required probability is:
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X=2)
P(X < 3) = 0.00166 + 0.01063 + 0.03403
P (X < 3) = 0.0463
Answer:
16. 30 * (30+12)/4*(L)*20
17. Volume = 6300 * Length of rectangular prism
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of a rectangular prism is <u>30 cm</u>. This is <u>12 more than one-fourth of the length</u>. Find the volume of the prism, given the <u>height is 20 cm</u>.
Let L = length of rectangular prisim W = width and H = height
16.
Volume of a rectangular prism is width * length * height
30 * (30+12)/4*(L)*20
17.
= 30 * (30+12)1/4(L)*20
= 30 * (42/4)*L * 20
= 600 * 10.5 * L
= 6300 * L
Volume = 6300 * Length of rectangular prism

Answer:
The expressions are not equivalent because -3(2)(5-4)+3(2-6)=-18 and -12(2)-6=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
Two expressions are said to be equal if after a number is substituted to the expression, they produce the same result (that is they have the same value).
To determine whether -3x(5-4)+3(x-6) is equivalent to -12x-6, we have to substitute the same number to the expression and see if it produces the same result.
Substituting 2 to the first expression gives:
-3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18
Substituting 2 to the second expression gives:
-12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30
Since -3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18 and -12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30, the expressions are not equivalent because they do not produce the same result.
