Answer:

The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is

option B. 0 .0771

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Random Variable = x

Mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3.

The probability of an occurrence is the same in any two time periods of an equal length

To Find:

The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes  = ?

Solution:

Let X be the number of  occurrences of the event X

X \sim {Pois} (\lambda)

\lambda = E(X) = 5.3

Possion of distribution is given by ,

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

Substituting the values,

P(X=8) = \frac{e^{- 5.3} 5.3^{8}}{8!}

P(X=8) = \frac{(0.004994) ( 622596.904)}{40320}

P(X=8) = \frac{(3109.24894)}{40320}

P(X=8) = 0.0771

avanturin [10]
In this question, it's asking you to find the number when 90 is subtracted by 35%. So, you find 35% of 90 which is 31.5 and you minus it from 90 = 58.5.

> 90 x 35% = 31.5
> 90 - 31.5 = 58.5

If you help me just explain it to me
love history [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

lets find median 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 17

now lets find the lower quartile median and upper quartile median

we don't include the median in the count, only use it to divide the data into the two parts,

2, 4, <u>4</u>, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 17

so lower quartile median is 4,

2, 4, <u>4</u>, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, <u>10</u>, 13, 17

while upper quartile median is 10

the box represents the range between the upper quartile median and lower quartile median, thus is should go from 4 to 10 with the middle line, representing the median at 8,

the whiskers represent the whole data range

thus, the answer is C

Put together, Dulcina and Tremaine have 129 total matchbooks. Tremaine's collection has 39 fewer matchbooks in it than Dulcina's
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Let the Dulcina's collection be 'x'

Let the Tremaine collection be 'x-39'

x + x - 39 =129

2x = 129 +39

2x = 168

x = 168/2

x = 84

Dulcina's collection = x = 84

Tremaine's collection = x - 39 = 84 - 39 = 45
