. Particles (e.g. yeast cell) are suspended in a liquid medium at a concentration. A large volume of the suspension is thoroughl

y agitated, and then 1 ml is withdrawn. The concentration in this sample is 10 particles per ml. What is the probability that, in the entire liquid medium, the concentration is exactly 8 particles/ml

Answer:

Probability that, in the entire liquid medium, the concentration is exactly 8 particles/ml = = P(X=8) = 0.1126

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Poisson distribution problem

Poisson distribution formula is given as

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!

λ = mean = 10 particles per mL

x = variable whose probability is required = 8 particles per mL

P(X = 8) = (e⁻¹⁰)(10⁸)/8!

P(X=8) = 0.11260

Hope this Helps!!!

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of (0, –1). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and p
givi [52]
Well, the first line has a slope of -3, and runs through 0, -1.

a line parallel to that one, will have the same exact slope of -3.

now, we know about this other parallel line that it runs through -3,1, and of course, since is parallel, it has a slope of -3

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~ -3 &,& 1~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-1=-3[x-(-3)]
\\\\\\
y-1=-3(x+3)
\implies 
y-1=-3x-9\implies y=-3x-8

A ladder is placed against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 12 feet above the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 f
Colt1911 [192]
This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft

Answer:

<em>The shaded region has an area of 1400 square units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of Compound Shapes</u>

We are given a shape and it's required to calculate its area. The shape can be divided into three rectangles as shown in the figure attached below.

The lengths of these rectangles are x, y, and z.

The value of x can be calculated as:

x = 60 - 15 - 10 = 35

Similarly:

y = 60 - 15 = 45

z = y = 45

The first rectangle has dimensions of x by 10, thus its area is:

A1 = 35*10 = 350

The second rectangle has dimensions of 60 by 10:

A2 = 60*10 = 600

The third rectangle has dimensions y by 10:

A3 = 55*10 = 450

The shaded area is:

A = 350 + 600 + 450 = 1400

The shaded region has an area of 1400 square units
