In western Kansas, the summer density of hailstorms is estimated at about 2.6 storms per 5 square miles. In most cases, a hailst

orm damages only a relatively small area in a square mile. A crop insurance company has insured a tract of 8 square miles of Kansas wheat land against hail damage. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of hailstorms this summer in the 8-square-mile tract.
(a) Explain why a Poisson probability distribution is appropriate for r.

Hail storms in western Kansas are a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent.Hail storms in western Kansas are a rare occurrence.

What is λ for the 8-square-mile tract of land? Round λ to the nearest tenth so that you can use Table 4 of Appendix II for Poisson probabilities.


(b) If there already have been two hailstorms this summer, what is the probability that there will be a total of four or more hailstorms in this tract of land? Compute P(r≥ 4 | r ≥ 2). (Use 4 decimal places.)


(c) If there already have been three hailstorms this summer, what is the probability that there will be a total of fewer than six hailstorms? Compute P(r < 6 | r ≥ 3). (Use 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mean for 5 square miles is 2.6 storms

mean for 9 square miles is \frac{2.6}{5}\times 8=4.16=4.2\\\\P(r\geq4|r\geq 2)=\frac{P(r\geq 4nr\geq 2 }{P(r\geq 2)}\\\\=\frac{P(r\geq 4)}{P(r\geq 2)}=0.6557\\\\\\P(r\geq 6|r\geq 3)=\frac{P(r\geq 6nr\geq 3 }{P(r\geq 3)}\\\\=\frac{P(3)+P(4)+P(5)}{1-P(r\geq 2)}\\\\=\frac{0.542905}{0.789762}=0.6874

If lim x-&gt; 4 f(x)=5 lim x-&gt; 4 f g(x)=0 and lim x-&gt; 4 f h(x)=-2, then find lim (fg)(x)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is:

"lim x-> 4 f(x)=5 lim x-> 4 g(x)=0 and lim x-> 4 h(x)=-2, then find lim x->4 (fg)(x)"

lim x->4 (fg)(x)

Since we know the limits of f and g at x=4 exist we can write the limit as:

lim x->4 f(x) lim x->4 g(x) (since fg(x) means f times g of x.)

Katie has a collection of nickels dimes and quarters with a total value of $4.20 there are 7 more dimes than nickels and six mor
Aneli [31]
Katie, Let the number of nickles = N Since there are 7 more dimes than nickles, the number of dimes D = N + 7 Since there are 4 more quarters than nickles, the number of quarters Q = N + 4 Since quarters = $0.25, dimes = $0.10, and nickles = $0.05 and all added together = $4.90 ⇒  0.25·Q + 0.10·D + 0.05·N = 4.90 Now multiply through by 100 to eliminate the decimal: 25Q + 10D + 5N = 490 Substitute for Q and D 25(N+4) + 10(N+7) + 5N = 490 25N + 10N + 5N +100 +70 = 490 40N + 170 = 490 ⇒ 40N = 320 ⇒ N = 320/40 N = 8, D = N+7 = 15 Q = N+4 = 12 Check: 25(12) + 10(15) + 5(8) = 300 + 150 + 40 = 490
