Rabies is an often-fatal disease typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. The state of Florida has been rec

ording all known cases of rabies for the past 20 years, with data indicating an average rate of 3.6. cases of rabies per week. Let X be the count of rabies cases reported in a given week.
a) The mean of X = __Answer 1__. Round your answer to one decimal place.

b) The standard deviation of X = __Answer 2__. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

c) The probability that there would be no case of rabies reported in a given week is __Answer 1__. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

d) The probability that there would be at least 1 case reported in a given week is __Answer 2__. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

a) 3.6

b) 1.897

c)0.0273

d) 0.9727

Step-by-step explanation:

Rabies has a rare occurrence and we can assume that events are independent. So, X the count of rabies cases reported in a given week is a Poisson random variable with μ=3.6.

a)

The mean of a Poisson random variable X is μ.

mean=E(X)=μ=3.6.

b)

The  standard deviation of a Poisson random variable X is √μ.

standard deviation=S.D(X)=√μ=√3.6=1.897.

c)

The probability for Poisson random variable X can be calculated as

P(X=x)=(e^-μ)(μ^x)/x!

where x=0,1,2,3,...

So,

P(no case of rabies)=P(X=0)=e^-3.6(3.6^0)/0!

P(no case of rabies)=P(X=0)=0.0273.

d)

P(at least one case of rabies)=P(X≥1)=1-P(X<1)=1-P(X=0)

P(at least one case of rabies)=1-0.0273=0.9727

Johny Deposited 50000 rupees, Jaleel 40000 and Jaleel 20000 rupees to start a business together.They got 3300 rupees as a profit
Andrews [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Johny Deposited 50000 rupees,

Jaleel 40000 and

Jaleel 20000 rupees

total deposits = 110,000

They got 3300 rupees as a profit in a month

Johny's investment in percent

50000/110000= 0.45%

Jaleel's investment in percent

40000/110000= 0.36%

Jaleel's(2) investment in percent

50000/110000= 0.18%

They will get

Johny =0.45*33000= 1485 rupees

Jaleel= 0.36*3300= 1188 rupees

Jaleel(2)= 0.18*3300=594 rupees
