Answer:

0 = 2

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(t-4)=10-2t\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}-2\left(t-4\right):\quad -2t+8\\\\-2t+8=10-2t\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2t+8-8=10-2t-8\\\\Simplify\\\\-2t=-2t+2\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}2t\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\-2t+2t=-2t+2+2t\\\\Simplify\\\\0=2\\\\\mathrm{The\:sides\:are\:not\:equal}\\\\\mathrm{No\:Solution}$

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour. Use the Poisson distribution to find the p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour.

This means that $\mu = 0.55$

Probability that during a randomly selected hour, the organization will receive fewer than two calls.

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.577$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.317$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.577 + 0.317 = 0.894$

There are 40 people at Drake's sweet sixteen party. Drake's only rule is that everyone in the party must meet and shake each oth

nikdorinn [45]

1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
⁴⁰C₂ = 780
There are 780 handshakes in total.

2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1. You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).

3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500
If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.

Advocard [28]

7,150,000

The population of Georgia is 10,500,000.

The population of Virginia is 30% less than that.

So the population of Virginia is 10,500,000 - 30% which equals 7,150,000
