Answer:

0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month

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 time interval.

On average sells 8.9 machines per month.

So \mu = 8.9

Using the Poisson distribution, what is the probability he will have to shut down after this month

If he sells less than 3 machines.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0001

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0012

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0054

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0001 + 0.0012 + 0.0054 = 0.0067

0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month

What are the odds in favor of choosing a person at random who chose juice a?
stealth61 [152]

37:53

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Number of people choosing Juice A = 37

Number of people choosing Juice B = 32

Number of people choosing Juice C = 21

We need to find the odds in favor of choosing a person who chooses juice A

Step 2  :

Here the number of success is the number of people choosing juice A = 37

Number of failures is the number of the people not choosing juice A = Number of people choosing juice B + Number of people choosing juice C = 32+21 = 53

Hence the odds in favor of choosing a person who chooses juice A is 37:53
