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

Julia wrote the tate $106 in 6 weeks as a unit rate determine her mistake and correct it 108/6 weeks= $54/3 weeks
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$17.67 per 1 week is the unit rate

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a rate per 1 unit. Julia's rate of 106 per 6 weeks can be reduced by dividing the two numbers. 106/6 = $17.67 per 1 week.

Can anyone tell me what the answer please
Tasya [4]

What you're looking at in this image are two alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles, are, essentially, exterior angles of a transversal that runs through two parallel lines. These angles are on alternating sides. These angles, assuming the lines are parallel, must be equal.

There's a proof behind why these angles are equal, but I won't bore you with the specifics as the question doesn't require it.

So - we know that these two angles must be equal to prove that the lines A and B are parallel. Knowing this, we can write an equation:

5x + 20 = 3x + 60

<u>Subtract 20 from both sides:</u>

5x + 20 - 20 = 3x + 60 - 20

5x = 3x + 40

<u>Subtract 3x from both sides:</u>

5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 40

2x = 40

x = 20

If you have any questions on how I got to the answer, just ask!
