Part A:

The poisson distribution is given by 

P(x;\mu)=e^{-\mu}\cdot \frac{\mu^x}{x!}

Thus, given that <span>the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 7.2 per year.

The </span><span>probability​ that, in a​ year, there will be 6 hurricanes is given by

</span>P(6;7.2)=e^{-7.2}\cdot \frac{7.2^6}{6!} \\ \\ =0.000747\times \frac{139314.0695}{720} \\ \\ =0.000747\times193.492 \\ \\ =0.1445


Part B:

<span>In a 45​-year ​period, the number of years that are expected to have 6 ​hurricanes is given by 0.1445 x 45 = 6.5 years.


Part C:

The poisson distribution worked here because, the observed value of the number of years that hurricanes occurred in a 45 year period which is 6 is very close to the calculated value which is 6.5</span>

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,-4) and has a slope of -2
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The answer is

\huge y =  - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

From the question we have

y + 4 =  - 2(x - 2) \\ y + 4 =  - 2x + 4 \\ y =  - 2x + 4 - 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = -2x</h3>

Hope this helps you

Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
