Answer:0.9991

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson distribution probability formula is given by :-

P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}, where \lambda is the mean of the distribution and x is the number of success

Given : \lambda=7

The probability that more than 1 student will have his automobile stolen during the current semester is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=1-(\dfrac{e^{-7}7^0}{0!})\\\\=1-e^{-7}=0.99908811\approx0.9991

Hence, the  probability that more than 1 student will have his automobile stolen during the current semester =0.9991

Artemon [7]

Answer:

k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3k + 6 = 10 + k

combine similar terms:

-3k - k = 10 - 6

simplify:

-4k = 4

simplify:

k = 4 / -4

k = -1

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola.  The first few steps are as follows.  Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex.  Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign.  The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out).  Let's start there.  The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

-2x^2+4x=-1.  Now we factor out the -2:

-2(x^2-2x)=-1.  Now we complete the square.  This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  We add 1 into the set of parenthesis.  But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2).  The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it.  Adding in to both sides looks like this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2.  Simplifying gives us this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex.  Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

-2(x-1)^2+3=y

From this form,

y=-a(x-h)^2+k

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY
Advocard [28]

Answer:

TanA= \frac{36}{27} and sinA=36/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan= opposite/adjacent

since 36 is opposite of A and 27 is adjancent to 36 your will use tanA= 36/27

Sin= opposite/hypotenuse

36 is opposite of A and 45 is the hypotenuse

Jia is tiling a floor. The floor is a square with side
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

36 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find area of the square floor knowing the formula as;

Area= s^{2}

where s= side of a square.

If one side of the floor is 12 feet, then Area= 12^{2} = 144ft^{2}

Next, find the area of each tile using the same formula and given s=2 feet;

Area(tile) = 2^{2} = 4ft^{2}

To find the number of tiles needed to cover entire floor, divide area of the floor by area of one tile; 144 / 4 = 36 tiles
