Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.8 per year. a. Find t

he probability​ that, in a​ year, there will be 3 hurricanes. b. In a 45​-year ​period, how many years are expected to have 3 ​hurricanes? c. How does the result from part​ (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 3 ​hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well​ here?

Answer:

a. 0.098

b. 4.41

c. Yes, it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The Poisson distribution's equation is:

P(x) = (nˣ*e⁻ⁿ)/x!

where P is the probability, n is mean number, and x the number of the event happens, so:

P(3) = \frac{5.8^3*e^{-5.8}}{3!}

P(3) = 0.098

b.

For 45 years, the years that are expected to have 3 hurricanes are

P(3) * 45 = 0.098*45 = 4.41

c.

Yes, it does. The Poisson distribution works well because the observed value of the number of years that 3 hurricanes occur is 45-year period is very close to the calculated value.

Same-side interior angles are supplementary, meaning that they add up to 180 degrees.

5x + 34 + 2x + 76 = 180

7x + 110 = 180

7x = 70

x = 10

Measure of angle A = 5(10) + 34 = 84 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)

|x+4|+10=21<br><br> solve the following
borishaifa [10]

Answer: x = 7, x = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an absolute value equation, so it has to be simplified first

|x+4|+10=21

|x+4|=11

Then you set it equal to the two values it can be, getting rid of the absolute value sign.

x+4=11

x+4=-11

x = 7

x = -15

Voila!
