17-2x that should be right
Answer:
The probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift is 
The probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability distribution of a Poisson random variable X representing the number of successes occurring in a given time interval or a specified region of space is given by the formula:

Let X be the number of failures of a testing instrument.
We know that the mean
failures per hour.
(a) To find the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift, you need to:
For an 8-hour shift, the mean is 

(b) To find the probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day, you need to:
For a 24-hour day, the mean is

The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the square of this ratio:

Simplify the exponent:

Cross multiply:

Divide 9 to both sides:

So the surface area of the second solid is 54 square meters.
The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of this ratio:

Simplify the exponent:

Cross multiply:

Divide 64 to both sides:

5.
A globe is a sphere, use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius here is 40/2 = 20. Plug it in the formula, use 3.14 to approximate for Pi:

Simplify the exponent:

Multiply:
