A farmer who grows genetically engineered corn is experiencing trouble with corn borers. A random check of 5,000 ears revealed t

he following: many of the ears contained no borers. Some ears had one borer; a few had two borers; and so on. The distribution of the number of borers per ear approximated the Poisson distribution. The farmer counted 3,500 borers in the 5,000 ears. What is the probability that an ear of corn selected at random will contain no borers? 0.3476 0.4966 1.000 0.0631

Answer:

Probability that an ear of corn selected at random will contain no borers is 0.4966.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of the number of borers per ear approximated the Poisson distribution. The farmer counted 3,500 borers in the 5,000 ears.

Let X = <u><em>Number of borers per ear</em></u>

The probability distribution of the Poisson distribution is given by;

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

where, \lambda = parameter of this distribution and in our question it is proportion of bores in the total ears =  \frac{3500}{5000}  = 0.7

SO, X ~ Poisson(\lambda = 0.7)

Now, probability that an ear of corn selected at random will contain no borers is given by = P(X = 0)

                            P(X = 0)  =  \frac{e^{-0.7}\times 0.7^{0}  }{0!}

                                           =  e^{-0.7} = <u>0.4966</u>

Hence, the required probability is 0.4966.

SOLVE 6-9. State of each triangle is a right triangle
11111nata11111 [884]

To find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem(which can only be used for right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side) And you can plug in the side lengths into this equation. If they are the same number on both sides, it is a right triangle, if they are different numbers it is not a right triangle.


6.) a² + b² = c²

(4√3)² + (11)² = (13)²

(16(3)) + 121 = 169

48 + 121 = 169

169 = 169 It IS a right triangle


7.) a² + b² = c²

(5)² + (2√14)² = (9)²

25 + (4(14)) = 81

25 + 56 = 81

81 = 81 It IS a right triangle


8.) a² + b² = c²

(6)² + (√49)² = (√82)²

36 + 49 = 82

85 = 82 It is NOT a right triangle


9.) a² + b² = c²

(13)² + (2√39)² = (16)²

169 + (4(39)) = 256

169 + 156 = 256

325 = 256 It is NOT a right triangle

I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLEASEEE!!!!!
Galina-37 [17]
Answers:
The area for the square on the left is 81m^2. This is found because all sides of this square are the same, so the length and width are the same. Just multiply 9 x 9.

The area for the triangle is 31.5m^2. We find the left side is 9 meters because the triangle shares the same side as the square on the left side. We also find the bottom side is 7 because that is the length of each side of that square because all sides on a square is the same. We then multiply 9 times 7, getting 63, we divide this by 2 because it’s a triangle.

The square on the right has the area of 225 because both length and width is 15.

The midpoint of AB is M (0, -3). If the coordinates of AA are (2, 1) what are the coordinates of BB?
frez [133]

Answer:

B(-2, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint is (0, -3)

A(x₁, y₁) B(x₂, y₂)

A(2, 1)

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2} )\\\\Midpoint = (\frac{2+ x_{2} }{2}, \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} )

(0, -3) = (\frac{2+ x_{2} }{2}, \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} )

              \frac{2+ x_{2} }{2} = 0\\\\2 + x_{2} = 0\ \ \ \ times\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\x_{2} = -2\ \ \ \ subtract\ both\ sides\ by\ 2

              \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2} = -3\\\\1 + y_{2} = -6\ \ \ \ times\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\y_{2} = -7\ \ \ \ subtract\ both\ sides\ by\ 1

∴ B(-2, -7)
