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

You have a credit card with a balance of 1187.92 and the interest is 12.25% apr. a late fee of 30.00 is charged for payments aft
Travka [436]
We start with
$1,187.92
With the interest and the late fee charge
$1,187.92 (1 + 0.1225/12) + 30 = $1,230.05
With the interest minus the payment of $125
$1,230.05 (1 + 0.1225/12) - $125 = $1,117.60

The new principal after the latest payment is $1,117.60.

Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in que
vovangra [49]

Answer:

$4f

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume f represents the number of pounds of fruit.

We need to multiply the number of pounds of fruit by the cost per pound.

This is $f * 4, or in a simpler form, $4f.

Jake has a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet. He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each
emmasim [6.3K]

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

x\approx 2.9ft

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

First of all, let's calculate the area of the original rectangular garden:

A=b\times h \\ \\ b:base \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ b=12ft \\ \\ h=14ft \\ \\ \\ A=12(14) \\ \\ A=168ft^2

Jake wants to increase the area by 50%, so the new area would be:

A'=168(1.5) \\ \\ A'=252ft^2

He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each dimension by equal lengths, x, so this is represented by the figure below, therefore:

(12+x)(14+x)=252 \\ \\ 168+12x+14x+x^2-252=0 \\ \\ x^2+26x-84=0 \\ \\ \\ Using \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=26 \\ \\ c=-84 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2-4(1)(-84)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1012}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ x_{1}=-13+\sqrt{253} \approx 2.9\\ \\ x_{2}=-13-\sqrt{253} \approx -28.9 \\ \\ x_{2} \ is \ discarded \ because \ it \ can't \ be \ negatives

Finally:

x\approx 2.9ft

What's the difference between two whole number 1/2 percent of 36 and 30% of 10<br>​
AlexFokin [52]

Here, we proceed step by step, to obtain our answer,

\frac{1}{2}  % of 36 can be written as ,

0.5 % of 36 , which means,

100 % refers to 36, then

0.5 % refers to what,  thus, by cross multiplication we get,

0.5 % of 36 =  \frac{0.5 X 36}{100} = 0.18 ___(1), which can be expressed in whole numbers as 0.

Now, 30 % of 10 means,

100 % refers to 10, then

30 % refers to what,  thus, by cross multiplication we get,

30 % of 10 = \frac{30 X 10}{100} = 3 __(2)

From equations (1)  and (2),

the whole numbers that we obtain are 0 and 3, respectively,

Thus the difference between these two whole numbers is,

= 3 - 0 = 3.
