4. Geologists estimate the time since the most recent cooling of a mineral by counting the number of uranium fission tracks on t

he surface of the mineral. A certain mineral specimen is of such an age that there should be an average of 6 tracks per cm2 of surface area. Assume the number of tracks in an area follows a Poisson distribution. Let X represent the number of tracks counted in 1 cm2 of surface area.
a)Find P(X = 7).

b)Find P(X ≥ 3).

c)Find P(2 < X < 7).

d)Find μX.

e)Find σX

Answer:

In this case we use the Poisson distribution because we are talking about the occurrence of an event (number of tracks) over a specified interval (in this case an area interval).

The probability of the event occurring x times over an interval is:

P(x) = nˣ × e⁻ⁿ ÷ x!

where n is the mean.

a) P(7) = 6⁷ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 7! = 0.1376

b) P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - P(2) - P(1) - P(0)

P(2) = 6² × e⁻⁶ ÷ 2! = 0.0446

P(1) = 6¹ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 1! = 0.0149

P(0) = 6⁰ × e⁻⁶ ÷ 0! = 0.0025

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.9380

c) P(2 < x < 7) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.0892 + 0.1339 + 0.1606 + 0.1606 = 0.5443

d) The mean is going to be 6.

e) The standard deviation is √n = √6 = 2.4

Find the size of angle YZX
Tasya [4]

Answer:

21.001 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle with

Hypotenuse ZY = 22.3 cm

Leg XY = 7.5 cm

By the Pythagorean theorem,

XY^2+XZ^2=ZY^2\\ \\7.5^2+XZ^2=22.3^2\\ \\XZ^2=22.3^2-7.5^2\\ \\XZ^2=(22.3-7.5)(22.3+7.5)\\ \\XZ^2=14.8\cdot 29.8\\ \\XZ^2=441.04\\ \\XZ=\sqrt{441.04}\approx 21.001\ cm

Solve for f: 6f + 9g = 3g + f
andrezito [222]

Answer:

f= -(6/5)g

Explanation:

We have been given the expression 6f+9g = 3g+f

Solve for f means find the value of f

We will simplify the given expression:

we will collect the values of f at one side  and g on the other side

So, rewriting the given expression  6f+9g =3g+f  as 6f-f=3g-9g

So, after simplification it will lead to  5f= -6g

After further simplification f= -(6/5)g which is the final result

The sum of the two 5 digit numbers ABC10 + ABC12 is 123422. What is A + B + C?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with two 5\ digit numbers whose first 3 \ digits are same.

It is given that their sum is 123422

adding the last two corresponding digits gives,

0+2=2\\1+1=2

Now adding the rest,

C+C \ should\ be\ 14 to get 4

1 \ carries\\B+B should not give anything to carry as that will make A in decimal to satisfy the addition.

Therefore,

B+B \ has \ to \ be 1+1=2,+ 1 \ carry=3

Thus B= 1

And finally,

A+A=12\\A=6

Thus A=6, B=1 \ and \ C=7

Now simplifying

A+B+C\\=6+1+7\\=14

Thus 14 is the answer.
