This requires the Poisson distribution, where
area = 5-acres
and mean number of field mice = 12 (in 5-acres of field)
therefore 
lambda=12 (mean, given)
and the probability of k mice in the 5-acre field is given by the Poisson distribution as
P(X=k)=lambda^k * e^(-lambda) / k!   ..............(1)
To find the probability of having LESS than 7 field mice, we add the probabilities of 0 to 6, which is
P(X<7)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+...+P(X=6)
evaluating with equation (1) for X=0 to 6, we get:
0 0.0000061 0.0000742 0.0004423 0.0017704 0.0053095 0.0127416 0.025481Total = 0.045822

Answer: The probability that fewer than 7 field mice are found in the 5-acre field is 0.0458.

What is the diameter and circumference of 6.7
irinina [24]

3.572

Area of a circle in terms of radius:

Area = π · r2 = 3.14 · 1.072 = 3.57 square meters.

In terms of diameter:

Area = π · (d

2

)2 = 3.14 · (2.13

2

)2 = 3.14 · (1.07)2 = 3.57 square meters.

In terms of circumference:

Area = C2

4π

= 6.72

4π

= 44.89

(4 · 3.14)

= 44.89

12.56

= 3.57 square meters.

Note: for simplicity, some results may be rounded to nearest hundredth and π was rounded to 3.14. See formula details below in this page.

A circle of radius = 1.066 or diameter = 2.133 or circunference = 6.7 meters has an area of 3.572 square meters which is equal to:

3.572E-6 square kilometers (km²)

35720 square centimeters (cm²)

0.0008827 acres (ac)

0.0003572 hectares (ha)

1.379E-6 square miles (mi²)

4.272 square yards (yd²)

38.45 square feet (ft²)

5537 square inches (in²)

Answer:

  • x = 11
  • y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to assume that the angles involving x are supplementary, and the angles involving y are complementary.

  (7x -8) +(13x -32) = 180

  20x -40 = 180 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  20x = 220 . . . . . . . . . add 40

  x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 20

__

  (10y +22) +(7y) = 90

  17y = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 22

  y = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 17
