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

Find the missing factor 2x^2+15x+7=(2x+1)(?)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

? = (x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x + 7 = (2x + 1) (?)

1. First you need to figure out what multiplied by 2x will give you 2x^2, which is x.

2. Then you need to find what would give you 15x. In this case because you have the 1 in (2x + 1), you already know that there is going to be an extra x. So, what times 2x gives you 14x? It's 7.

3. Lastly you need to make sure that 1 multiplied with 7 is equal to 7 and combine like terms.

4. Check: (2x + 1) (x + 7) =

2x^2 + 14x + 1x + 7 =

2x^2 + 15x + 7

State A and state B are among the states with the most remaining drive in movie screens. State A has 4 more screens than state B
mojhsa [17]
State A has 25 drive-in movie screens and State B has 21. You find this by guess-and-checking different numbers that you could add together to get 46. You want to do numbers that are relatively close, as a difference in 4 is not much at all. You can divide 46 by 2 and then play around from there.

six friends share 5 meat pies. each friend first eats half of a meat pie. how much more meat pie does each friend need to eat to
Margaret [11]
So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left. 
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie
