(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.

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

1 and 2 are complementary angles. 1 and 3 are vertical angles. If
Marizza181 [45]

If angle 1 and angle 2 are <u>complementary, </u>then they add up to 90 degrees. We are given that angle 2 equals 52 degrees.

So we subtract and get our answer:

38

That's NOT the final answer.

The next step is:

Angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are congruent.

So if angle 1 is 38, then angle 3 is also 38.

Now, supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

So that's the answer:

180-38=142

142 is the supplement of angle 3.

Hope it helps! :)

Write and solve an equation for the total number of possible combinations from flipping a coin 10 times.
vladimir2022 [97]

Step-by-step explanation:

every flip has 2 possible outcomes.

1 flip has 2.

2 flips have 2×2 = 2² = 4

3 flips have 2×2×2 = 2³ = 8

and so on.

the number of possible combinations flipping a coin n times is

C(n) = 2^n

for 10 flips

C(10) = 2¹⁰ = 1024

possible outcomes or combinations.
