Let the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie have a Poisson distribution. We want the probability that a cookie

of this type contains at least two chocolate chips to be greater than 0.99. Find the smallest value of the mean that the distribution can take.

Answer:

\lambda \geq 6.63835

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson Distribution is "a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event".

Let X the random variable that represent the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie. We know that X \sim Poisson(\lambda)

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...

And f(x)=0 for other case.

For this distribution the expected value is the same parameter \lambda

E(X)=\mu =\lambda

On this case we are interested on the probability of having at least two chocolate chips, and using the complement rule we have this:

P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X

Using the pmf we can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^0}{0!}=e^{-\lambda}

P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^1}{1!}=\lambda e^{-\lambda}

And replacing we have this:

P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=1-[e^{-\lambda} +\lambda e^{-\lambda}[]

P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)

And we want this probability that at least of 99%, so we can set upt the following inequality:

P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)\geq 0.99

And now we can solve for \lambda

0.01 \geq e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)

Applying natural log on both sides we have:

ln(0.01) \geq ln(e^{-\lambda}+ln(1+\lambda)

ln(0.01) \geq -\lambda+ln(1+\lambda)

\lambda-ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01) \geq 0

Thats a no linear equation but if we use a numerical method like the Newthon raphson Method or the Jacobi method we find a good point of estimate for the solution.

Using the Newthon Raphson method, we apply this formula:

x_{n+1}=x_n -\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}

Where :

f(x_n)=\lambda -ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01)

f'(x_n)=1-\frac{1}{1+\lambda}

Iterating as shown on the figure attached we find a final solution given by:

\lambda \geq 6.63835

HELP ME PLEASE, I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THIS TOO SO I'LL GIVE BRAINLY FOR THE RIGHT ANSWER WITH GOOD AND UNDERSTANDING
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

34 goes in the blank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle TUV implies the following:

Angle A is congruent to angle T.

Angle B is congruent to angle U.

Angle C is congruent to angle V.

Side AB is congruent to side TU.

Side BC is congruent to side UV.

Side CA is congruent to side VT.

Note: Order tells you everything in a congruence statement.

Since side BC is congruent to UV, then the measure of side BC is equal to the measure of side UV.

8x+2=7x+6

Subtract 7x on both sides:

1x+2=6

x+2=6

Subtract 2 on both sides:

x=6-2

x=4

So if x=4, then the measure of side BC is 8x+2=8(4)+2=32+2=34.

So the measure of BC is 34 cm.

Given g(x)=-x-3, solve for x when g (x) =6
LiRa [457]

Answer:

x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = - x - 3 and g(x) = 6, then equate, that is

- x - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

- x = 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 9

Is v = -1 / 3 a solution of 9v-2= 3v?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

No, -1/3 is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

See if it is a solution by plugging in -1/3 as v and seeing if the equation is correct:

9v - 2 = 3v

9(-1/3) - 2 = 3(-1/3)

-3 - 2 = -1

-5 = -1

-5 \neq -1

So, since the equation is incorrect, -1/3 is not a solution.
