X might equal 5 because if you replace X with 5 the problem makes since....X - 2 = 3....(5) - 2 = 3

Each day, Robin commutes to work by bike with probability 0.4 and by walking with probability 0.6. When biking to work injuries

kvasek [131]

Answer:

64.65% probability of at least one injury commuting to work in the next 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Each day:

Bikes to work with probability 0.4.

If he bikes to work, 0.1 injuries per year.

Walks to work with probability 0.6.

If he walks to work, 0.02 injuries per year.

20 years.

$\mu = 20*(0.4*0.1 + 0.6*0.02) = 1.04$

Either he suffers no injuries, or he suffer at least one injury. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.04}*1.04^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.3535
$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.3535 = 0.6465$

64.65% probability of at least one injury commuting to work in the next 20 years

What is the value of y in the equation 3 (3y - 9) = 0

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (3y - 9) = 0

Divide each side by 3

3/3 (3y - 9) = 0/3

3y -9 = 0

Add 9 to each side

3y -9+9 = 0+9

3y =9

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 9/3

y =3

A ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h-48t -16t^2.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is $h(t)=-48t -16t^2$ . We are asked to find the maximum height of the ball.

We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

Let us find x-coordinate of parabola using formula $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ .

$x=-\frac{-48}{2(-16)}$

$x=-\frac{48}{32}$

$x=-\frac{3}{2}$

So, the x-coordinate of the parabola is $-\frac{3}{2}$ . Now, we will substitute $x=-\frac{3}{2}$ in our given equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.
