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

Wendi is selling her sculpture at an auction. The selling price goes up by $12.50 for each new bid. What is the selling price of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Linear Equation:

y = 12.5x

This is assuming the first price is $12.50. Each new bid will add another $12.50 to it (so multiply by the amount of bids there are).

Proportional:

The amount that goes up is corresponding. This is true, for:

x = 1, y = 12.5 (x12.5)

x = 2, y = 25 (x12.5)

x = 3, y = 37.5 (x12.5)

etc. etc.

Where <em>y</em> is the selling price of sculpture:

This is true, for y stands for the total amount that it will cost the bidder.

Where <em>x</em> is the number of new bids:

<em>x</em> is the amount that of bids in all.
