Answer:

(a) The probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b) The probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour is 0.2667.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of text messages receive or send in an hour.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Poisson distribution with parameter <em>λ</em>.

It is provided that users receive or send 62.7 text messages in 24 hours.

Then the average number of text messages received or sent in an hour is: \lambda=\frac{62.7}{24}= 2.6125.

The probability of a random variable can be computed using the formula:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!} ;\ x=0, 1, 2, 3, ...

(a)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour as follows:

P(X=3)=\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!} =0.21798\approx0.2180

Thus, the probability that a text message user receives or sends three messages per hour is 0.2180.

(b)

Compute the probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour as follows:

P (X > 3) = 1 - P (X ≤ 3)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3)

             =1-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{1}}{1!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{2}}{2!}-\frac{e^{-2.6125}(2.6125)^{3}}{3!}\\=1-0.0734-0.1916-0.2503-0.2180\\=0.2667

Thus, the probability that a text message user receives or sends more than three messages per hour is 0.2667.

You take $22,000.00 + $625.00= 22,625.00 (which is the sales tax)
Take $22,625.00 x .06=$1,357.50

Then take $22,625.00 + $<span>1,357.50 +$40.00 = $24.022.50</span>

Karins mom runs a dairy farm. Last year Betty the cow gave 375 gallons less than twice the amount from Bessie the cow. Together,
yawa3891 [41]
X = bessie and y = betty

x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375

x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons

y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons

The stock market dropped 220 points on Monday. It lost another 48 points on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, it gained 96 points. What
MissTica

48 points gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220 with 48, then add 96. Last step would be subtracting 220 with the amount they have now in those 3 days to find how much points the stock market gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220-48.It‘ll be 172.

Add 172 with 96. 172+96=268.

Subtract 268 with how much points the stock market had 3 days ago. 268-220.

Sot eh stock market gained 48 points in 3 days.
