Answer:
(a) The probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) is 0.007.
(b) The probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) is 0.483.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Poisson distribution with parameter <em>λ</em> = 64.
The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) as follows:
P (X > 84) = 1 - P (X ≤ 84)
Thus, the probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) is 0.007.
(b)
Compute the probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) as follows:
P (X < 64) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + ... + P (X = 63)
Thus, the probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) is 0.483.
Answer: 19 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between the hiker and the camp) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
x^2 = 6^2 + 18^2
x^2 = 36+324
x^2 = 360
x = √360
x = 18.97miles = 19 miles
