Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for poisson distribution which is expressed as

P(x = r) = (e^- µ × µ^r)/r!

Where

µ represents the mean of the theoretical distribution.

r represents the number of successes of the event.

From the information given,

µ = 3.5

a)

For the probability that there will be at least 2 such accidents in the next month, it is expressed as

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - P(x < 2)

P(x < 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

Therefore,

P(x = 0) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5^0)/0!

P(x = 0) = (e^- 3.5 × 1)/1

P(x = 0) = 0.03

P(x = 1) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5^1)/1!

P(x = 1) = (e^- 3.5 × 3.5)/1

P(x = 1) = 0.11

P(x < 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) = 0.03 + 0.11 = 0.14

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

b)

For the probability that there will be at most 1 accident in the next month, it is expressed as

P(x ≤ 1) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)

P(x = 0) = 0.03

P(x = 1) = 0.11

P(x ≤ 1) = 0.03 + 0.11 = 0.14

The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/9 full. After pouring in 12 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How
Luden [163]

Answer:

27 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is: \frac{2x}{9} +12 = \frac{2x}{3}

What do we need to find: x

We need to first find x, so lets find x first.

12 =  \frac{2x}{3}  -  \frac{2x}{9}

=> 12 = \frac{6x}{9} - \frac{2x}{9}

=> 12 = \frac{4x}{9}

=> x = 27

Lets go back to our equation.

\frac{2(27)}{9} +12 = \frac{2(27)}{3}

We are going to simplify this before solving this. We are going to get:\frac{54}{9} +12 = \frac{54}{3}

=> 18 = 18

Therefore, we found x and we checked that our x value is correct. Now, we need to find how many gallons can the container can hold.

\frac{3x}{3} = a                                                           [a = gallons can the container hold]

=> x = a

Basically that means the container can hold 27 gallons of water.

Please give me brainliest if this is helpful ;D
