Answer:
(a) The probability is 0.6514
(b) The probability is 0.7769
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of accidents occur according to a poisson process, the probability that x accidents occurs on a given day is:
Where a is the mean number of accidents per day and t is the number of days.
So, for part (a), a is equal to 3/7 and t is equal to 1 day, because there is a rate of 3 accidents every 7 days.
Then, the probability that a given day has no accidents is calculated as:
On the other hand the probability that February has at least one accident with a personal injury is calculated as:
P(x≥1)=1 - P(0)
Where P(0) is calculated as:
Where a is equivalent to (3/7)(1/8) because that is the mean number of accidents with personal injury per day, and t is equal to 28 because 4 weeks has 28 days, so:
Finally, P(x≥1) is:
P(x≥1) = 1 - 0.2231 = 0.7769
Answer:
The correct option is;
21 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)
We therefore have;
y = a(x - 20)² + 25
Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;
0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25
0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25
∴a = -25/400 = -1/16
The equation of the parabola is therefore;
To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28
Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;
