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

I need to know fraction division
alexira [117]

Answer:

Division means sharing an item equally. A fraction has two parts - a numerator and a denominator. ... Dividing fractions is almost the same as multiplying them. For the division of fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

The following are score earned by 15 college students on a 20-point math quiz. (a) calculate the mean, median, and mode scores.
Softa [21]

Answer:

(a) 12.87; 14; 18; (b) median  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Statistics

(i) Mean

The mean is the sum of all the data points divided by the number of points.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mean} & = & \dfrac{0 + 2 + 3 + 12 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 14 + 15 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20}{15}\\\\& = & \dfrac{193}{15}\\\\& = & \mathbf{12.87}\\\end{array}

(ii) Median

The median is the middle value in your list of observations.

0, 2, 3, 12, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 18, 19, 20

Median = 14

(iii) Mode

The mode is the value that appears most often in your list of observations.

0, 2, 3, 12, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 18, 19, 20

Mode = 18

(b) Most representative measure

The mean is dragged down by three low values. The median is the measure that is most representative of the data.

The histogram below shows the distribution of your data.
