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

Can someone help me on this
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2x+h

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x+h) means that wherever there's an x in the function f(x) we plug in a x+h

we have

(x+h)²+9

Let's start with the numerator

(x+h)²+9-(x²+9)

Distribute the exponent

x²+2xh+h²+9-x²-9

Which gives us

2xh+h²

Divide the whole thing by h to give us

2x+h

Find the area of the shape, show work pls ill give brainiest
andre [41]

Answer:

6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.

Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.

To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

Base_{total}  = Base_{empty} + Base_{orange}  \\Base_{total} = 1.9ft + 3.1 ft\\Base_{total} = 5 ft

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.

Now the total area can be calculated:

Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total

Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft  

Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared

Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared

Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
