A fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate lambda = 0.6 per hour. The fisherman will keep fishing for two

hours. At the end of the second hour, if he has caught at least one fish, he quits; Otherwise, he continues until he catches one fish. (a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours. (b) Find the probability that the total time he spends fishing is between two and five hours. (c) Find the expected number offish that he catches. (d) Find the expected total fishing time, given that he has been fishing for four hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate lambda = 0.6 per hour.

The fisherman will keep fishing for two hours.

Since he continues till he gets atleast one fish, we can calculate probability as follows:

(a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours.

= Prob (x=0) in I two hours and P(X≥1) in 3rd hour

=P(x=0)*P(X=0)*P(X≥1) (since each hour is independent of the other)

= 0.5488^2*(1-0.8781)\\\\=0.2645

(b) Find the probability that the total time he spends fishing is between two and five hours.

Prob that he does not get fish in I two hours * prob he gets fish between 3 and 5 hours

=P(0)^2 *F(1)^3\\=0.5488^2*0.2645^3\\=0.00557

(c) Find the expected number offish that he catches.

Expected value in Geometric distribution = \frac{1-p}{p}, where p = prob of getting 1 fish in one hour

= \frac{0.6}{1-0.6} \\=3

(d) Find the expected total fishing time, given that he has been fishing for four hours.

= Expected fishing time total/expected fishing time for 4 hours

=3/0.6*4

= 1.25 hours

Explanation and answer please :)

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the I = PRN formula

P = 11 500

R = 7.25% but you have to 7.25 divide by 100 so it becomes a decimal so it should be 0.0725

N = 2 years and 6 months. This can be 2.5 years because half of 12 is 6

the solution is 11 500 × 0.0725 × 2.5 = 2084.38

Eddie bought 27 2/5 inches of wire for a home improvement project. How many 12 inches sections can he make from it?
goblinko [34]
Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).

27\frac{2}{5}÷12=2\frac{17}{60}

So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.

If F(x)=4x-1 and g(x)=x^2+7, what is g(f(x))
VashaNatasha [74]
Answer

g(f(x)) = = 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 8

step by step Explanation

The functions given are

f (x)= 4x- 1

g(x)= {x}^{2} + 7

We want to find:

g(f (x))= g( 4x- 1)

This implies that

g(f (x))= ( (4x- 1)^{2} + 7)

Let us now simplify

( {a - b)}^{2} = {a}^{2} -2ab + {b}^{2}

This implies that

( (4x- 1)^{2} + 7) =( {(4x)}^{2} - 2(4x) \times 1 + 1

Combine the terms to get,

= 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 1 + 7

= 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 8
