Answer:

3.566%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability formula for a poisson distribution is:

P( k )=\frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!} \\

λ is the average of events

e is the euler's number

k is the number of events you want to know the probability

For this :

λ = 8.9 (on average the number of tickets is 8.9 per day)

k = 4 (you need to find the probability that exactly 4 tickets are written per day)

P( k=4 )=\frac{8.9^{4}e^{-8.9}}{4!}=0,03566 =3.566\%

How do I solve this?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:  A:  3x^2y^(3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as

(81*x^8*y^6)^(1/4)

Then multiply each exponent by (1/4):

81^(1/4)*x^(8(1/4))y^6(1/4))

81^(1/4) = 3

x^(8(1/4)) = x^2

y^6(1/4)) = y^(3/2)

The result:  3x^2y^(3/2)

PLEASE HELP!!!<br> Find MG.<br> ∆EGF~∆EML.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

MG=56\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem we have that

∆EGF~∆EML

so

\frac{EG}{EM}=\frac{EF}{EL}

substitute the given values

\frac{5x+2}{16}=\frac{126}{28}

solve for x

5x+2=\frac{126}{28}(16)

5x+2=72\\5x=70\\x=14

EG=5x+2=5(14)+2=72\ units

step 2

Find MG

we know that

MG=EG-EM

substitute

MG=72-16=56\ units
