Answer:

Option A

f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gnats the scientists have gathered

At 0 hours, they gathered 12 gnats.

Checking all the options, applying x = 0 makes the index part become 1 (Anything raised to the power zero is 1).

So, we have the following functions

f(x) = 12.5

f(x) = 12.6

f(x) = 6.2

f(x) = 1.6

This has reduced our work, as we can screen out options C and D, they are too far from 12. This leaves us with option A and B.

At 1 hour, they gathered 20 gnats.

Checking options A and B

A. f(x) = 12.5(1.6)

= 20

B. f(x) = 12.6(6.2)

By inspection, 12 × 6 is already 72,

12.6 × 6.2 will be more.

By these, we can conclude that f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x has the best models the number of gnats the scientists have gathered after the number of hours listed in the given table.

Find 1722 divided by 6 then estimate to check if your answer is reasonable
Whitepunk [10]
When you divide 1722 by 6 you get 287 so it's not a repeating number so if you estimate 287 to 290 then you get 1740 so your answer is 287.

Suppose the number of hits a webpage receives follows a Poisson distribution. The average number of hits per minute is 2.4.
JulijaS [17]

Answer: a) P(x=0) = 0.0907, b) P(x≥10) = 0.7986

Step-by-step explanation: the probability mass function of a possion probability distribution is given as

P(x=r) = (e^-λ)×(λ^r) /r!

Where λ = fixed rate at which the event is occurring and each event is independent of each other = 2.4

a) P(x= at least one) = P(x≥1)

P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)

But P(x<1) = P(x=0) { we can not continue to negative values because our values of x can only take positive values of integer}

Hence, P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x=0)

P(x=0) = e^-2.4 * 2.4^0/(0!)

P(x=0) = 0.0907×1/1

P(x=0) = 0.0907

b) if the average number of hits in 1 minutes is 2.4 then for 5 minutes we have 2.4×5 = 12.

Hence λ = 12.

P(x= at least 10) =P(x≥10) = 1 - P(x≤9)

P(x≤9) will be gotten using a cumulative possion probability distribution table whose area is to the left of the distribution.

From the table P(x≤9) = 0.2014.

P(x≥10) = 1 - 0.20140

P(x≥10) = 0.7986
