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

Stevic delivers newspapers. He has already earned $36 delivering the Sunday paper and $12 delivering the Saturday paper. He earn
Nastasia [14]

Stevic's total earnings after delivering 15 papers on Sunday is $180.

Stevic's total earnings after delivering 15 papers on Saturday is $60.

<h3>What is the total earning?</h3>

Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is used to determine the product of two or more numbers. In order to determine the total earnings, multiply earning per newspaper delivered by total earnings.

Total earnings on Sunday= $12 x 15 = $180

Total earnings on Saturday = 4 x 15 = $60

Please answer this multiple choice question for 27 points and brainliest!!
storchak [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be in the form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2.5, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-5}{2.5-0} = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5

y = - 2x + 5 or

y = 5 - 2x → A

Answer:

Area of rectangle = 40 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Distance formula</u>

Length of a line segment with end points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth

<u>To find the length and breadth</u>

Here a rectangle with vertices at (7, 3), (12, 3), (12, 11), and (7, 11)

Length1 =  √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

√[(12 - 7)² + (3 - 3)²] = √5² = 5

Length2 =  √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

√[(12 - 12)² + (11 - 3)²] = √8² = 8 units

Therefore Length of rectangle = 8 and  

Breadth of rectangle = 5 units

<u>To find the area of rectangle</u>

Area = Length * Breadth

  = 8 * 5 =  40 square units
