The average number of field mice per acre in a 5-acre wheat field is estimated to be 12. find the probability that fewer than 7

field mice are found
Mathematics

zaharov [31]3 years ago

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.

In the circle below, DB = 22 cm, and m&lt;DBC = 60°. Find BC. Ignore my handwriting.​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

BC=11\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the measure of the arc DC

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half of the arc comprising

m\angle DBC=\frac{1}{2}[arc\ DC]

substitute the values

60\°=\frac{1}{2}[arc\ DC]

120\°=arc\ DC

arc\ DC=120\°

step 2

Find the measure of arc BC

we know that

arc\ DC+arc\ BC=180\° ----> because the diameter BD divide the circle into two equal parts

120\°+arc\ BC=180\°

arc\ BC=180\°-120\°=60\°

step 3

Find the measure of angle BDC

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half of the arc comprising

m\angle BDC=\frac{1}{2}[arc\ BC]

substitute the values

m\angle BDC=\frac{1}{2}[60\°]

m\angle BDC=30\°

therefore

The triangle DBC is a right triangle ---> 60°-30°-90°

step 4

Find the measure of BC

we know that

In the right triangle DBC

sin(\angle BDC)=BC/BD

BC=(BD)sin(\angle BDC)

substitute the values

BC=(22)sin(30\°)=11\ cm

The range of the function f(x) = x + 5 is {7, 9). What is the function's domain?​
Maru [420]

Answer:

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the y values

y = x+5

Let y=7

7 =x+5

Subtract 5

7-5 x+5-5

2=x

Let y= 9

Subtract 5

9-5 x+5-5

4=x

The domain is (2,4)

If t=38.5 and s=31.4 find S. Round to the nearest tenth
zubka84 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. S = 54.6°.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given a right angled triangle with two known sides, s and t.

We are to find the value of the angle S.

For that, we will use sine.

sin S = \frac { s } { t }

sin S = \frac { 3 1 . 4 } { 3 8 . 5 }

S = sin'0.815

S = 54.6°
