<h2>Answer:</h2>

              The value is:

                      -4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are asked to find the value of the ceiling function: \left \lceil -4.6 \right \rceil

As we know that the ceiling function always occupy the higher value in integers.

i.e. the ceiling function act as follows:

it takes value 0 when   -1< x≤0

                       1 when  0 < x ≤ 1

                       2 when  1 < x ≤2

and so on.

As we know that:

            -4.6 lie between -5 and -4.

            Hence, we have:

            \left \lceil -4.6 \right \rceil=-4

Answer:  -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The ceiling function (also known as the least integer function) is written as

f(x) = [x]

It gives the smallest integer greater than or equal to x .

For example : [5.6]=6

or [-1.9]= -1   [∵- 1 > -1.9 ]

To find : The value of [-4.6]

Clearly ,  [-4.6] is written in ceiling function notation.

Then,  [-4.6]  = smallest integer greater than or equal to -4.6

= -4              [∵ -4>-4.6]

Hence, the value of [-4.6] = -4

Let the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie have a Poisson distribution. We want the probability that a cookie
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

\lambda \geq 6.63835

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson Distribution is "a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event".

Let X the random variable that represent the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie. We know that X \sim Poisson(\lambda)

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...

And f(x)=0 for other case.

For this distribution the expected value is the same parameter \lambda

E(X)=\mu =\lambda

On this case we are interested on the probability of having at least two chocolate chips, and using the complement rule we have this:

P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X

Using the pmf we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^0}{0!}=e^{-\lambda}

P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^1}{1!}=\lambda e^{-\lambda}

And replacing we have this:

P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=1-[e^{-\lambda} +\lambda e^{-\lambda}[]

P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)

And we want this probability that at least of 99%, so we can set upt the following inequality:

P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)\geq 0.99

And now we can solve for \lambda

0.01 \geq e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)

Applying natural log on both sides we have:

ln(0.01) \geq ln(e^{-\lambda}+ln(1+\lambda)

ln(0.01) \geq -\lambda+ln(1+\lambda)

\lambda-ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01) \geq 0

Thats a no linear equation but if we use a numerical method like the Newthon raphson Method or the Jacobi method we find a good point of estimate for the solution.

Using the Newthon Raphson method, we apply this formula:

x_{n+1}=x_n -\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}

Where :

f(x_n)=\lambda -ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01)

f'(x_n)=1-\frac{1}{1+\lambda}

Iterating as shown on the figure attached we find a final solution given by:

\lambda \geq 6.63835
