The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson Distribution with a rate parameter

AlekseyPX

Answer:

a) 0.052 = 5.2% probability that exactly three arrivals occur during a particular hour

b) 0.971 = 97.1% probability that at least three people arrive during a particular hour

c) 5.25 people are expected to arrive during a 45-min period

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.

Poisson Distribution with a rate parameter of seven per hour.

This means that $\mu = 7$

(a) What is the probability that exactly three arrivals occur during a particular hour?

This is P(X = 3).

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

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-7}*7^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.052$

0.052 = 5.2% probability that exactly three arrivals occur during a particular hour.

(b) What is the probability that at least three people arrive during a particular hour? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Either less than three people arrive, or at least three does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 3)$ , which is

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)$

In which

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-7}*7^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-7}*7^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-7}*7^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.022$

So

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.001 + 0.006 + 0.022 + 0.029$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.029 = 0.971$

0.971 = 97.1% probability that at least three people arrive during a particular hour

(c) How many people do you expect to arrive during a 45-min period?

During an hour(60 minutes), 7 people are expected to arrive. So, using proportions:

$\frac{45*7}{60} = \frac{3*7}{4} = \frac{21}{4} = 5.25$

5.25 people are expected to arrive during a 45-min period

Based on the SAS congruence criterion, the statement that best describes Angie's statement is:

Two triangles having two pairs of congruent sides and a pair of congruent angles do not necessarily meet the SAS congruence criterion, therefore Angie is incorrect.

<h3 /><h3>What is congruency?</h3>

The Side-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem (SAS) defines two triangles to be congruent to each other if the included angle and two sides of one is congruent to the included angle and corresponding two sides of the other triangle.

An included angle is found between two sides that are under consideration.

See image attached below that demonstrates two triangles that are congruent by the SAS Congruence Theorem.

Thus, two triangles having two pairs of corresponding sides and one pair of corresponding angles that are congruent to each other is not enough justification for proving that the two triangles are congruent based on the SAS Congruence Theorem.

The one pair of corresponding angles that are congruent MUST be "INCLUDED ANGLES".

Therefore, based on the SAS congruence criterion, the statement that best describes Angie's statement is:

Two triangles having two pairs of congruent sides and a pair of congruent angles do not necessarily meet the SAS congruence criterion, therefore Angie is incorrect.
