Answer: 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mean of failures =  0.025 per hour.

Then  for 8 hours , the mean of failures = \lambda=8\times0.25=2 per eight hours.

Let X be the number of failures.

The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}

Now, the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift :-

P(X=0)=\dfrac{e^{-2}2^0}{0!}=0.1353352\approx0.1353

Hence, the the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift = 0.1353

A rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter in mixed number?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet.

The perimeter would be calculated as:

= 2(length + width)

= 2( 5 1/3 + 3 3/4)

= 2( 5 4/12 + 3 9/12)

= 2( 8 13/12)

= 2 (9 1/12)

= 2 × 9 1/12

= 2 × 109/12

= 218/12

= 18 2/12

= 18 1/6 feet

If log3⁡⁡(4y−1)=log3⁡⁡(2y+7), what is the value of y?
Slav-nsk [51]
Knowing that there are two logs on both sides of the brackets, they cancel out. 
This leaves: 

4y-1=2y+7 (solve for y) 
4y-2y=7-1
2y=6
y=3 

Hope this helped :)
