What is 1/3 + 5/6 Help

1 answer:

5 0

<em><u>7/6 is the right answer.</u></em> First you had to add by the fractions. And it gave us, $\frac{2}{6}+ \frac{5}{6}$ . Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions. And it gave us, $\frac{2+5}{6}$ . Finally, you had to add by the numbers, and it gave us the answer is 2+5=7, or 7/6 is the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and me

Dovator [93]

Answer:

There is a 0.73% probability that Ben receives a total of 2 phone calls in a week.

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 time interval.

The problem states that:

The number of phone calls that Actuary Ben receives each day has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.1 during each weekday and mean 0.2 each day during the weekend.

To find the mean during the time interval, we have to find the weighed mean of calls he receives per day.

There are 5 weekdays, with a mean of 0.1 calls per day.

The weekend is 2 days long, with a mean of 0.2 calls per day.

So:

$\mu = \frac{5(0.1) + 2(0.2)}{7} = 0.1286$
