Answer:

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = x` = 5

The Poisson distribution formula  is given by

P(X) = e-ˣ` x`ˣ/ x!

The mean is 5 and the X takes the values 0,1,2,and 3 which means 3 or fewer, so we add the probability of all the values of X to get the desired Value of X.

P(3 or fewer ) = e-⁵ (5)³/3!+  e-⁵ (5)²/2! +e-⁵ (5)/1!+e-⁵ (5)⁰/0!

Putting the Values

P (3 or fewer) = 0.006737 . 125 / 6 + 0.006737 . 25 / 2 +0.006737 . 5 / 1 + 0.006737 . 1 / 1

P (3 or fewer) = 0.140374 + 0.08422+ 0.03369 +0.006737

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650

True or false? f (x) = 2 · (1/5)^x represents an exponential function growth.
nekit [7.7K]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{False.}}

f(x) = 2(1/5)ˣ

Recall the form of an exponential function:

f(x) = a(b)ˣ where:

a = initial value

b = rate of decay/growth

If b > 1, the function is undergoing exponential growth. If b < 1, then the function is undergoing exponential decay.

1/5 < 1, so the function is undergoing exponential decay, not growth.
