Answer:

The Poisson distribution uses the shape parameter denoted by  <em>λ</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Poisson distribution is used to describe the distribution of the number of events that take place in a fixed interval of time.

For instance, number of customers arriving at a bank in an hour or the number of typos encountered in a book every 50 pages.

The Poisson distribution uses the shape parameter to compute the probabilities of different events.

The shape parameter is defined as the average number of occurrence in a given time interval. It is usually denoted by <em>λ</em>.

The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,3...

4.5w=5.1w-30, how do I solve it
Gala2k [10]
First you have to get the same variables on one side so you’d subtract 5.1w from both sides, making the equation -0.6w = -30

then you want to single out the variable, diving -0.6 on both sides making the new equation and the answer w = 50

hope this helps!
