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.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

10 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trapezoid</u>

Base =12 inches

Height =10 inches

Top side= 10 inches.

Area of a Trapezoid=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h, $where a and b are the lengths of the base and top respectively$

=\frac{1}{2}(10+12)*10\\=5*22=110 \:Square\:Inches

Area of the Trapezoid=110 Square Inches

<u>Rectangle</u>

Base = 12 inches

Height =10 inches.

Area of a Rectangle=Base X Height

=12 X 10

=120 Square Inches

<u>Difference in Area between the two packages</u>

Difference=Area of Rectangle-Area of Trapezoid

=120-110

=10 Square Inches

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between the two proportional variables in a directly proportional relationship. In this case, the variables are x and y.

To find the constant of proportionality, all we have to do is divide any value of y by its corresponding value of x. Let's take the values in the first row of the table. We know that x=2 and y=12, so the constant of proportionality is \frac{y}{x}=\frac{12}{2} =6. Hope this helps!

Given GH with endpoints (-7,3) andH (7. - 11), what are the coordinates of the<br> mielpoint of GH?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Midpoint is (0, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-coordinate of midpoint = (-7 + 7)/2 = 0/2 = 0

y-coordinate of midpoint = (3 - 11)/2 = -8/2 = -4

Midpoint is (0, -4)
