Answer: 0.3741

Step-by-step explanation:

Poison probability ;

P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!

Where U = mean

Note: e = exponential symbol

Number of checks that year = 171

Number of days in a year = 365

U = 171/365 = 0.468

Average checks per day = 0.4685

Probability that at least one check was written per day is can be calculated by;

P(not 0) = 1 - P(0)

Therefore,

P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!

P(0) = [ 0.4685^0 * e^-0.4685] ÷ 0!

P(0) = [ 1 * 0.6259] ÷ 1

P(0) = 0.6259

Therefore,

P(not 0) = 1 - 0.6259 = 0.3741

Answer:  A <em>(first option)</em>:  y-intercept = 9, zeros = {1, -1, 3, -3}

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

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis.

The zeros are the x-intercepts which is where the graph crosses the x-axis.

The graph touches the y-axis when y = 9

The graph touches the x-axis when x = -3, x = -1, x = 1, and x = 3
