Answer: 2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The position time graph shown above has position or distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The unit of the distance is in metes and the unit of the time is in seconds.

Distance = velocity / time

Time = distance × time

From the graph, the slope at any point determines the velocity of the object at that point.

Slope =( y2 -y1)/ ( x2 -x1)

y2 = 5(corresponding to the point on the vertical axis where t = 2.5 on the horizontal meets the plotted line when traced along the vertical axis)

y 1 = 0 (initial distance)

x2 = 2.5( on the horizontal axis)

x1 = 0(initial time)

Velocity = slope = (5-0)/2.5-0)= 5/2.5

= 2 m/s

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour. Use the Poisson distribution to find the p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour.

This means that $\mu = 0.55$

Probability that during a randomly selected hour, the organization will receive fewer than two calls.

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.577$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.317$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.577 + 0.317 = 0.894$

The table shows how many males and females attended two different movies. How would you find the joint relative frequency of bei

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B. Divide 124 by 229.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

$\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Action}&\text{Drama}&\text{Total}\\ \\\text{Male}&105&124&229\\ \\\text{Female}&99&151&250\\ \\\text{Total}&204&275&479\end{array}$

The <u>joint relative frequency</u> is the ratio of the frequency in a particular category and the total number of data values.

The total number of males $=229$

The number of males that like drama $=124$

So, to find the joint relative frequency of being male and attending a drama movie, you should divide 124 by 229.
