Answer:

Focus of the given parabola is (-3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of parabola is:

y² = -12x

Standard equation of parabola is :

y² = 4px

Parabola opens right or left.

Focus of this parabola is (p,0)

y² = -12x is opens left.

y² = 4(-3)x

Here value of p = -3

So, the focus of given parabola is : (-3,0)

That's the final answer.

I hope its help you.

Answer:

32.33% probability of having at least 3 erros in an hour.

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 mean number of errors is 2 per hour.

This means that $\mu = 2$

(a) What is the probability of having at least 3 errors in an hour?

Either you have 2 or less errors in an hour, or we have at least 3 errors. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X \leq 2) + P(X \geq 3) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 3)$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)$

In which

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

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

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

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

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

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1353 + 0.2707 + 0.2707 = 0.6767$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.6767 = 0.3233$

32.33% probability of having at least 3 erros in an hour.

valentinak56 [21]

1st piece = x

2nd piece = x+2

3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5

37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =

37 = 3x+7

30=3x

x = 30/3 = 10

1st piece = 10 inches

2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches

3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
