Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob at each second, a mosquito lands on your neck =0.5

Prob it bites/it lands = 0.2

Prob it does not bite/it lands = 0.8

Hence in one second prob for getting a bite = 0.5(0.2) = 0.01

i.e. 1/100 chance of getting bitten in one second

In 100 seconds number of bites =1

Expected time between successive bites = 100

The fitted intercept in a regression has little meaning if no data values near X = 0 have been observed.a. true.b. false.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: True

This is because, the intercept is the expected mean value of Y when x is equal zero. If x is never zero; that is, no data value is near x equal zero, the regression has little meaning. There is no interest in the regression.

What was the total production of gasoline and kerosene combined (in Barrels)
Elina [12.6K]

The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

<em>44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>

Let

<em />x \to<em> Proportion of kerosene</em>

<em />y \to<em>  Proportion of Gasoline</em>

<em />

So:

x = 40\%

y = 34\%

Total = 60\ million ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

Kerosene =x \times Total

Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million

Kerosene = 24\ million

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

Gasoline  =y \times Total

Gasoline  =34\% \times 60\ million

Gasoline  =20.4\ million

So, the total production of both is:

Total = Kerosene + Gasolene

Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million

Total = 44.4 million

<em>Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>
