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.

What is the factored form of the quadratic expression x^2+36
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(x − 6i) (x + 6i)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using real numbers, x² + 36 is already simplified.

Using imaginary numbers:

x² + 36

x² − 36i²

(x − 6i) (x + 6i)

Mrs. Reyes asked 3 girls and 4 boys to help with a project. She had each student make 8 paper airplanes. ​
Mazyrski [523]

There are 3 girls & 4 boys.

Each student makes 8 paper airplanes.

Amount of paper airplanes created by girls: 3 x 8 = 24

Amount of paper airplanes created by boys: 4 x 8 = 32

Amount of paper airplanes created in all: 3(8) + 4(8) = 24 + 32 = 56

I have zero idea.. help please.
r-ruslan [8.4K]
As we look, line TU = 16. But, there are two lines right below it, and there are two lines on the line UW. Now, all that this means is UW is the same length as TU. 

Since we know what TU and UW is and we need to add them together to find the total length of the line TW.

16 + 16 = 32.

Therefore, the length of line TW is 32 units long.

Hope I could help you out!
