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

Find the equation of the parabola with focus (5, 1) and directrix y = -1.
Mumz [18]
Check the picture below.

since the focus point is above the directrix, that simply means the parabola is a vertical one, and therefore the square variable is the "x".

keeping in mind that, there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either the focus point or the directrix, that puts the vertex half-way between those fellows, in this case at 0, right between 1 and -1, as you see in the picture, and the parabola looks like so.

since the parabola is opening upwards, the value for "p" is positive, thus

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}
\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2
\\\\
\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\
 p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=5\\
k=0\\
p=1
\end{cases}\implies 4(1)(y-0)=(x-5)^2
\\\\\\
4y=(x-5)^2\implies  y=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-5)^2

The equation of the transformation of the exponential function <em>y</em> = 2ˣ in the form <em>y</em> = A·2ˣ + k, obtained from the simultaneous found using the points on the graph is <em>y</em> = (-2)·2ˣ + 3

<h3>What is an exponential equation?</h3>

An exponential equation is an equation that has exponents that consists of variables.

The given equation is <em>y</em> = 2ˣ

The equation for the transformation is; <em>y</em> = A·2ˣ + k

The points on the graphs are;

(0, 1), (1, -1) and (2, -5)

Plugging the <em>x </em>and <em>y</em>-values to find the value <em>A</em> and <em>k</em> gives  the following simultaneous equations;

When <em>x</em> = 0, <em>y</em> = 1, therefore;

1 = A·2⁰ + k = A + k

1 = A + k...(1)

When <em>x</em> = 1, <em>y</em> = -1, which gives;

-1 = A·2¹ + k

-1 = 2·A + k...(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) gives;

-1 - 1 = 2·A - A + k - k

-2 = A

1 = A + k, therefore;

1 = -2 + k

k = 2 + 1 = 3

k = 3

Which gives;

y = -2·2ˣ + 3 = 3 - 2·2ˣ
