Answer:

\text{16.57 dollars}

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is needed to find the value of x

$\frac{22.50}{19} =\frac{x}{14}\Longrightarrow 19x = 315 \Longrightarrow x = 16.57$ \\ \\ \text{It would cost 16.57 dollars to purchase 14 gallons.}

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

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

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Over a long period of time, an average of 14 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Each minute has 60 seconds, so \mu = \frac{14}{60} = 0.2333

Either no particle arrives, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

We want P(X \geq 1). So

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2333}*(0.2333)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.7919

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7919 = 0.2081

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

angle ACB = 180-130=50 degree

angle ABC = 180 - (94+50)

                  = 180-144

                  = 36
