You did not state the options to choose from, but I will give a suitable distribution for solving the given problem.

Answer:

Poisson Distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson Distributions are used in calculating the probability of an event occurring over a given interval.

It is calculated using the formula

P(X = x) = [e^(-β)β^x]/x!

Where e = 2.718

β = mean or expected value of the variable.

x = number of successes of the event

Applying this to the given problem, suppose we are trying to find the probability that exactly four cars will arrive in 5 minute interval.

Average number of cars arriving = 3/10 = 0.3

The probability of success over a short interval must be the same probability over a long interval, so we have β = 0.3 × 5 = 1.5

x = 4

P(X = 4) = [e^(-1.5) (1.5)^(4)]/4!

= 0.047066518

≈ 0.0047

There is a 0.47% chance that exactly four cars will arrive in 5 minute interval.

Answer:

D) 2x+10=40, x= 15 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Paul only bought one ticket, then $10 is the constant of the equation. Since Paul pays $2 per ride, $2 will be the rate/coefficient of the equation.

Since we are solving for x, $40 will be on the right side of the equation

Putting these three facts together, we can make the equation 2x+10=40 which means D is correct

. In a nature conservatory, the ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100.
sashaice [31]
Well we already know that the 36:100 is correct because it is the starting amount, to check the 18:50 50 is half of the 100 insects so you would divide 36 by 2 which gives you half of 36 which is 18 so we can check off 18:50 as correct. Idk about the final one but the other two are correct.

olasank [31]

Answer:

12 bikes

9 tricycles

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=21

2x+3y=51

x=-y+21

2(-y+21)+3y=51

-2y+42+3y=51

y+42=51

y=9

x=12

-1+5x≥-16 I dont know how to solve
olasank [31]

Answer:  x \ge -3

Explanation:

Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.

We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.

Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.

-1 + 5x \ge -16\\\\5x \ge -16+1\\\\5x \ge -15\\\\x \ge -15/5\\\\x \ge -3\\\\

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.

The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.

If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
