Answer:

a) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

b) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. It is said to be unusual if it is lower than 5% or higher than 95%.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field?

Desired outcomes:

19 home runs hit to right field

Total outcomes:

65 home runs

19/65 = 0.2923

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

(b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field?

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.

(Please answer) Octavia is going to buy milkshakes for her friends. Small milkshakes cost $2.50 and large milkshakes cost $6.00.
Igoryamba

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, Octavia should buy at least 12 small milkshakes. At $2.50 each small milkshake, buying 12 would be a total of $30. Since she needs to buy atleast 20 total milkshakes, she would need to buy 8 large milkshakes which at $6 each would cost her a total of $48. Together this would sum up to be $78 for the 20 milkshakes which would mean that Octavia is still under her budget.

Assume that during each second, a job arrives at a webserver with probability 0.03. Use the Poisson distribution to estimate the
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The probability that at lest one job will be missed in 57 second is=1- e^{-1.71} =0.819134

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

A discrete random variable X having the enumerable set {0,1,2,....} as the spectrum, is said to be Poisson distribution.

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

λ is the average per unit time

Given that, a job arrives at a web server with the probability 0.03.

Here λ=0.03, t=57 second.

The probability that at lest one job will be missed in 57 second is

=P(X≥1)

=1- P(X<1)

=1- P(X=0)

=1-\frac{e^{-1.71}(1.71)^0}{0!}

=1- e^{-1.71}

=0.819134
