Answer:

a) P(X>3.0)=1-P(X \leq 3.0)= 1- [1- e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}]=e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}=0.287

b) P(2

P(2

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and concepts

The Poisson process is useful when we want to analyze the probability of ocurrence of an event in a time specified. The probability distribution for a random variable X following the Poisson distribution is given by:

P(X=x) =\lambda^x \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}

And the parameter \lambda represent the average ocurrence rate per unit of time.

The exponential distribution is useful when we want to describ the waiting time between Poisson occurrences. If we assume that the random variable T represent the waiting time btween two consecutive event, we can define the probability that 0 events occurs between the start and a time t, like this:

P(X>x)= e^{-\lambda x}

We can express in terms of the mean \mu =\frac{1}{\lambda}

P(X>x)= e^{-\frac{1}{\mu} x}

And the cumulative function would be given by the complement rule like this:

P(X\leq x)=1- e^{-\frac{1}{\mu} x}

Solution for the problem

For this case we have that X the random variable that represent the magnitude of earthquakes recorded in a region of North America, we know that the distribution is given by:

X\sim Expon(\mu =2.4)

a) Find theprobability that an earthquake striking this region will a exceed 3.0 on the Richter scale

So for this case we want this probability:

P(X>3.0)=1-P(X \leq 3.0)= 1- [1- e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}]=e^{-\frac{1}{2.4} 3.0}=0.287

b) fall between 2.0 and 3.0 on the Richter scale.

For this case we want this probability:

P(2 < X

And replacing we have this:

P(2

P(2

3. A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. How long is the fence? Write your answer as a mixed number in lowest terms.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3)A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. This means the total number of feet's is 8 × 8 5/7. Expressing 8 5/7 as improper fraction, it will be 61/7 feet's

The total length of the fence =

8 × 61/7 = 488/7 feet's

Expressing as mixed fraction, it becomes

69 5/7 feets

4) Cynthia spent 3/4 of her time at the gym on the stair machine. She spent a total of 21 3/4 minutes on the stair machine. This means that the time she spent on the gym is 3/4 × 21 3/4 .

Converting 21 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 87/4

The time she spent on the gym

= 3/4 × 87/4 = 261/16

= 16 5/16 minutes

5) On Monday, Ryan jogged 1 ½ miles in ¼ hour. On Wednesday he jogged 2 1/3 miles in 1/3 hour. Converting to improper fractions,

the miles ran on Monday= 1 ½ miles = 3/2 miles

the miles jogged on wednesday = 2 1/3 miles = 7/3 miles

How much farther did Ryan jog on Wednesday than on Monday? This would be 7/3 - 3/2

= 5/6 miles

6) One requires 2/3 cup of flour, another requires 7/8 cup of flour, and the third require 3/4 cup of flour.

Total amount of flour that Josh will use is

2/3 +7/8 +3/4 = (16+21+18)/24

= 55/25 = 2 7/25 cups of flour

If 2x^2+2x=12, what is x?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

x= 2

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving as normal quadratic equation:</u>

  • 2x^2+2x=12
  • x^2 +x = 6
  • x^2 + x - 6= 0
  • x = (-1 ± √(1+4*1*6)/2
  • x = ( - 1 ± √25)/2
  • x = (-1 ± 5)/2
  • x= 2
  • x= -3

<u>Roots are</u> 2 and -3
