Answer:

13.53% probability that no earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater strike the San Francisco Bay Area in the next 40 years

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 time interval.

According to geologists, the San Francisco Bay Area experiences five earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater every 100 years.

One earthquake each 100/5 = 20 years.

What is the probability that no earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater strike the San Francisco Bay Area in the next 40 years?

40 years, so \mu = 40/20 = 2

This probability is P(X = 0).

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353

13.53% probability that no earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or greater strike the San Francisco Bay Area in the next 40 years

Rewrite 1/100,000,000 as a power of 10
yarga [219]
1/100,000,000 , note that 100,000,000 = 10⁸ , then:

1/100,000,000  = 1/10⁸
Remember that 1/aⁿ  = a⁻ⁿ

Hence 1/100,000,000 = 1/10⁸ = 10⁻⁸

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality x - 3 > 2
Ivahew [28]

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to

both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.

When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the

open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.

Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent

all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.
