Answer: the probability that there are 3 or less errors in 100 pages is

0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for poisson distribution is expressed as

P(x = r) = (e^- µ × µ^r)/r!

Where

µ represents the mean of the theoretical distribution.

r represents the number of successes of the event.

From the information given,

µ = 0.03 errors per page

Therefore, in 100 pages,

µ = 0.03 × 100 = 3 errors per page

For the probability that there are 3 or less errors in 100 pages, it is expressed as

P(x ≤ 3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P( x = 2) + P(x = 3)

Therefore,

P(x = 0) = (e^- 3 × 3^0)/0! = 0.0497

P(x = 1) = (e^- 3 × 3^1)/1! = 0.149

P(x = 2) = (e^- 3 × 3^2)/2! = 0.224

P(x = 3) = (e^- 3 × 3^3)/3! = 0.224

P(x ≤ 3) = 0.0497 + 0.149 + 0.224 + 0.224 = 0.65

Answer:

The probability that there are 3 or less errors in 100 pages is 0.648.        

Step-by-step explanation:

In the information supplied in the question it is mentioned that the errors in a textbook follow a Poisson distribution.

For the given Poisson distribution the mean is p = 0.03 errors per page.

We have to find the probability that there are three or less errors in n = 100 pages.

Let us denote the number of errors in the book by the variable x.

Since there are on an average 0.03 errors per page we can say that

the expected value is, \lambda = E(x)

                                       = n × p

                                       = 100 × 0.03

                                       = 3

Therefore the we find the probability that there are 3 or less errors on the page as

     P( X ≤ 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3)

                 

   Using the formula for Poisson distribution for P(x = X ) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^X}{X!}

Therefore P( X ≤ 3) = \frac{e^{-3} 3^0}{0!} + \frac{e^{-3} 3^1}{1!} + \frac{e^{-3} 3^2}{2!} + \frac{e^{-3} 3^3}{3!}

                                 = 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.224 + 0.224

                                 = 0.648

 The probability that there are 3 or less errors in 100 pages is 0.648.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N

Solve 5x(m+n) using the distributive property
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: 5xm+5xn

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is necessary to remember the following:

1) The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac

2) The multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

Knowing this, and having the following expression given in the exercise:

5x(m+n)

You can apply the Distributive property multiplying m and n, which are inside the parentheses, by 5x.

So, you get the following result:

=(5x)(m)+(5x)(n)=5xm+5xn
