Answer:

1.76% probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

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 arrivals of clients at a service firm in Santa Clara is a random variable from Poisson distribution with rate 2 arrivals per hour.

This means that \mu = 2

What is the probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive

Either 5 or less clients arrive, or more than 5 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X \leq 5) + P(X > 5) = 1

We want P(X > 5). So

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5)

In which

P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2707

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2707

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1804

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0902

P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0361

P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.1353 + 0.2702 + 0.2702 + 0.1804 + 0.0902 + 0.0361 = 0.9824

P(X > 5) = 1 - P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9824 = 0.0176

Answer:

Probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive is 0.0166.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the arrivals of clients at a service firm in Santa Clara is a random variable from Poisson distribution with rate 2 arrivals per hour.

The Poisson distribution is foe random variable is given by;

     P(X=x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \times \lambda^{x} }{x!} ; x = 0,1,2,3,....

where, \lambda = rate of arrival per hour =2

Let X = Arrival of clients

So, Probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive = P(X > 5)

P(X > 5) = 1-P(X \leq 5)

P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)  

              = \frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{0} }{0!} +\frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{1} }{1!} +\frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{2} }{2!} +\frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{3} }{3!} +\frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{4} }{4!} +\frac{e^{-2} \times 2^{5} }{5!}

              = 0.1353 + 0.2707 + 0.2707 + 0.1804 + 0.0902 + 0.0361

              = 0.9834

So, P(X > 5) = 1-P(X \leq 5) = 1 - 0.9834 = 0.0166

Therefore, probability that in one hour more than 5 clients arrive is 0.0166.

There are less than 200 apples in a box. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples c
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:

Number of apples in a box < 200

2. It is known that 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples can be in that box?

The answer is that the number of apples that can be in the box is the highest multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 that is close to 200.

The common multiples for this set of numbers are 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and so on with 60 as the constant.

Therefore, the highest number that is multiple for this set of numbers and at the same time lower than 200 is 180.

<u>There can be 180 apples in that box.</u>

Round 89972 to 3 significant figures
kenny6666 [7]
We round a number to three significant figures in the same way that we would round to three decimal places. We count from the first non-zero digit for three digits. We then round the last digit. We fill in any remaining places to the right of the decimal point with zeros.
