The production department has installed a new spray machine to paint automobile doors. As is common with most spray guns, unsigh

tly blemishes often appear because of improper mixture or other problems. A worker counted the number of blemishes on each door. Most doors had no blemishes; a few had one; a very few had two; and so on. The average number was 0.5 per door. The distribution of blemishes followed the Poisson distribution. Out of 10,000 doors painted, about how many would have no blemishes?
A. about 6,065B. about 3,935C. about 5,000D. about 500

Answer:

10000*0.6065=6065

A. about 6,065

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and concepts

The Poisson process is useful when we want to analyze the probability of ocurrence of an event in a time specified. The probability distribution for a random variable X following the Poisson distribution is given by:

P(X=x) =\lambda^x \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}

And the parameter \lambda represent the average ocurrence rate per unit of time.

For this distribution the expected value is the same parameter \lambda  

E(X)=\mu =\lambda=0.5  , Var(X)=\lambda=0.5, Sd(X)=707

Solution to the problem

We want "how many would have no blemishes" so first we need to find the probability that X=0, since X represent on this case the number of blemishes on each door. And if we use the mass function we got this:

P(X=0) =0.5^0 \frac{e^{-0.5}}{0!}=0.6065

And now since we have a total of 10000 doors painted we can find how many we would expect with no blemishes:

10000*0.6065=6065

A. about 6,065

ICE Princess25 [194]
If 35 cm  represent the length of the plane which is 87.5 ft of the actual plane length. let 1 cm be x ft. 
35 cm = 87.5 ft
1 cm = x ft
cross multiply this and the answer is 2.5 ft. Therefore, the scale drawing is 1 cm is 2.5 ft.

find the xintercept or in this case the tintercepts
c=76
v=135

h=-16t^2+135t+76
use quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

a=-16
b=135
c=76

x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{135^2-4(-16)(76)} }{2(-16)}
x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{18225+4864} }{-32}
x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{23089} }{-32}
aprox
x=-0.5297 or 8.967
exclude the negative root since you can't have negative time

means that it takes 8.97 seconds to hit the ground
