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

expeople1 [14]

<span>
You can write the equation in point-slope form, which has the format <em>y-y</em>subscript1=<em>m</em>(<em>x-x</em>subscript1), with <em>y</em>subscript1 and <em>x</em>subscript1 being the y and x coordinates for a point on the line, and <em>m</em> being the slope. </span>

<span /><span>Substitute a y and x coordinate into the equation so you have <em>y</em>-6=<em>m</em>(<em>x</em>-2)</span>

<span /><span><span>Then find the slope so you can replace <em>m</em>. The slope formula is <em />(<em>y</em>subscript2-<em>y</em>subscript1)/(<em>x</em>subscript2-<em>x</em>subscript1). </span><span>Substitute the coordinates in so you have <em>m</em>=(16-6)/(4-2), which simplifies to 10/2 and then 5.</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span>Now the equation is <em>y</em>-6=5(<em>x</em>-2)</span>

<span />If you want a different form, for example slope-intercept form, you can change it to that:

<span><em>y</em>=5x-4</span>

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method.
BabaBlast [244]
The answer is:
4x+2y=11}  4x+2y=11} x=2-2y
x-2=-2y    }  x+2y=2    } x=2-2(-3/6)
                                      x=2-(-6/6)
4(2-2y)+2y=11              x=2-(-1)
8-8y+2y=11                   x=3
8-6y=11
-6y=11-8
-6y=3/-6
y=-3/6=-1/2

So for my opinion the solution is A.(3,-1/2)

Store A sells 11 bagels for 9.57 Store B sells bagels for 3.52. How do the unit rates compare?
Sloan [31]
First you put the numbers in this form:

11 Bagels = $9.57
________ _______
? Bagels   = $3.52

Now they look like fractions but you have to cross multiply them like this: 11 x $3.52 which makes $38.72 then you divide $38.72 by $9.57 which makes the answer that you have to find which is 4.04597701 or just to round 4 and then that will be your answer.
