1762 feet would be 2 feet more. There are 5280 in a mile, divide that by three and get 1760 feet.
Answer:
no...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the probability that the x-coordinate of the point is negative and the y-coordinate of the point is positive is 16.36%
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that each point has the same probability to be chosen ( uniform probability distribution in the rectangle area ) then the probability of choosing a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate is the ratio of the area with those requirements over the total area of the rectangle.
therefore
Ar= area of negative x-values and positive y-values = (-3)*6 = 18
AT= total area of the rectangle = [8-(-3) ]*[6-(-4)] = 110
then
probability = Ar/AT = 18/110 = 0.1636 = 16.36%
Answer:
a) 0.264
b) 48 cubit light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
For calculating a) What is the probability of 3 or more stars in 16 cubic light years?
a)
λ= 1 star/16 cubic light-years
t= measure t in units of 16 cubic light years.
E(Y) = λ t = (1/16)(16) = 1 star
P(X>=2) = 1 - P(X<2)
= 1 - [e^-1 + (e^-1)(1)/1!]
= 0.264
b)
P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X=0)
= 1 - e^-μ
0.95 = 1 - e^-μ
e^-μ = 1 - 0.95
e^-μ = 0.05
ln(e^-μ) = ln(0.05)
-μ = -3
μ = 3
Therefore 3 x 16 = 48 cubic light years of space
