Answer:

B) 0.1487

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the discrete random variable that represents the number of events observed over a given time period.  If X follows a Poisson distribution, then the probability of observing k events over the time period is:

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

Where:

\lambda=Mean\\k=number\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}events\\e=Euler's\hspace{3}number

So, the probability that exactly 5 bankruptcies occur next month is:

P(X=5)=\frac{6.4^{5} *e^{-6.4} }{5!} =\frac{17.84083537}{120} =0.1486736281\approx0.1487

Mashutka [201]

Answer: Rs 25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Retailer sold an electric iron to a customer at a loss of 10%

Suppose the Cost price of iron is x

So, selling price is 0.9x

This price must be equal to 25425+ VAT

\Rightarrow 0.9x=25425-0.13(0.9x)\\\Rightarrow 0.9x+0.117x=25425\\\Rightarrow 1.017x=25425\\\Rightarrow x=\text{Rs }25,000

Thus, the cost price is Rs.25,000
