Answer:

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior is 0.6703 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.04 flaws per square foot of plastic panel.

Let X = Distribution of number of surface flaws in plastic panels

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda)

The mean of Poisson distribution is given by, E(X) = \lambda = 0.04

which means, X ~ Poisson(0.04)

The probability distribution function of a Poisson random variable is:

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

Now, we know that \lambda for per square foot of plastic panel is 0.04 and we are given that an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.

Therefore, \lambda for 10 square foot of plastic panel is = 10 * 0.04 = 0.4

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior =P(X=0)

     P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.4}*0.4^{0}}{0!} = e^{-0.4} = 0.6703

X intercept f(x)=(x+4)^2
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<h2>-4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x)=(x+4)², <u>the x intercept occurs at f(x)  = 0,</u> substituting f(x) = 0 into the given equation to get the value of x we have;

0 = (x+4)^{2} \\

Taking the square root of both sides

\sqrt{(x+4})^{2}  = \sqrt{0}\\ x+4 = 0\\

Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation

x+4-4 = 0-4\\x = -4

Therefore the x intercept of the equation is -4

What is the range of the function graphed on the grid? { x │ x = -2, 2, 4} {y│-3 ≤ y ≤ 4} {y│ y = -3, 0, 4} { x │-2 ≤ x ≤ 4}
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The image is sideways.

But if your graph is like on the image, then the answer is: {y│-3 ≤ y ≤ 4}

Range is the set of y values

Least function value is -3 and greatest is 4

ms.kirk drove 164 miles in the morning and 219 miles in the afternoon.estimate the total number of miles she drove that day.
Licemer1 [7]
164+219=383 is exact for estimate round 164 to 165 or 160 and 219 to 220 so
165+220=385 or 160+220=380
