Answer:

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.

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 interval.

Mean of 0.6 times a day

7 day week, so \mu = 7*0.6 = 4.2

What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0150

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0630

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1323

So

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0150 + 0.0630 + 0.1323 = 0.2103

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.

Two sisters like to compete on their bike rides. Tamara can go 4 mph faster than her sister, Samantha. If it takes Samantha 1 ho
Triss [41]

Answer:

16 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

You should first form equations related to this information

Given,Tamara can go 4 mph faster than her sister, Samantha

Lets take speed to ride a bike for Samantha to be=  x mph

The speed to ride a bike for Tamara will be= x+4 mph

To cover a distance of 80 miles, Samantha takes 1 hour longer than Tamara

Introduce the formula for time; time=distance/speed=D/S where D is distance in miles and S is speed in miles per hour

Here time Samantha takes to cover a distance of 80 miles is 1 hour more than that taken by Tamara, hence

<u>Time taken by Samantha</u>

=\frac{80}{x}

<u>Time taken by Tamara</u>

=\frac{80}{4+x}

<u>Equation for difference in time</u>

=\frac{80}{x} -\frac{80}{4+x} =1

Solve the equation for difference in time to get value of x which is samantha speed

=\frac{80}{x} -\frac{80}{x+4} =1\\\\\\=80(4+x)-80(x)=x(4+x)\\\\\\=320+80x-80x=4x+x^2\\\\\\=x^2+4x-320=0

Solve quadratic equation by the quadratic formula where a=1,b=4 and c=-320

x=(-b±√b²-4ac)÷2a

x=(-4±√4²-4×1×-320)÷2×1

x=\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{4^2-4*1*-320} }{2} \\\\\\x=(-4+/-\sqrt{1296} )/2\\\\\\x=\frac{-4+36}{2} =\frac{32}{2} =16

Samantha speed is 16 mph
