Hi there!

The correct answer for you is 270.88.

To round to the hundreth's place (.01), you need to take the number in the thousand's place (.001), and determine if the number needs to go up or down.

If the number in the thousand's place is greater than 4, then the number goes up.

360.727 --> This means that the hundreth's number goes up to 3.

If the number in the thousand's place is lesser than 5, then that number stays the same.

89.852 --> This means that the hundreth's number stays the same.

After you round, then just subtract:

360.73 - 89.85 = 270.88.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second 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.

Over a long period of time, an average of 14 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Each minute has 60 seconds, so $\mu = \frac{14}{60} = 0.2333$
