Answer:

6,840 casts

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that every actor can play each of the 4 roles and that each role is different, the number of possible casts including at least one of sir Ian and Patrick is given by the total number of possible casts (permutation of 4 out of 12 actors), minus the number of casts without sir Ian and Patrick (permutation of 4 out of 10 actors):

$n=\frac{12!}{(12-4!)} -\frac{10!}{(10-4)!}\\n=(12*11*10*9)-(10*9*8*7)\\n=6,840\ casts$

There are 6,840 possible casts.

pishuonlain [190]

If the square is the window (I couldn't decipher the grammar/punctuation), the area is 64 feet squared. Since it is a square, the formula to find the area is sxs (side length times side length). 8x8=64, which makes the total area 64 square feet.

Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$a) \simeq 0.3012$ $b) \simeq 0.0494$ c) $\simeq 0.2438$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of collision,

1.2 collisions every 4 months

or, $\frac{1.2}{4}$

= 0.3 collisions per month

So, the Poisson distribution for the random variable no. of collisions per month (X) is given by,

P(X =x) = $\frac{e^{-\lambda}\times {\lambda}^{x}}}{x!}
$

for x ∈ N ∪ {0}

= 0 otherwise --------------------------------------(1)

here, $\lambda = 0.3$ collision / month

No collision over a 4 month period means no collision per month or X =0

Putting X = 0 in (1) we get,

P(X = 0) = $\frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{0}}{0!}
$

$\simeq 0.7408182207$ ------------------------------------(2)

Now, since we are calculating this for 4 months,

so, P(No collision in 4 month period)

= $0.7408182207^{4}$

$\simeq 0.3012$ -----------------------------------------------------------(3)

2 collision in 2 month period means 1 collision per month or X =1

Putting X =1 in (1) we get,

P(X =1) = $\frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{1}}{1!}
$

$\simeq 0.2222454662$ ------------------------------------(4)

Now, since we are calculating this for 2 months, so ,

P(2 collisions in 2 month period)

= $0.2222454662^{2}$

$\simeq 0.0494$ -----------------------------------------(5)

1 collision in 6 months period means

$\frac{1}{6}$ collision per month

Now, P(1 collision in 6 months period)

= P( X = 1/6] (which is to be estimated)

= $\frac {P(X=0)\times 5 + P(X =1)\times 1}{6}$

= \frac {0.7408182207 \times 5 + 0.2222454662 \times 1}{6}[/tex]

$\simeq 0.6543894283$ -------------------------------------------(6)

So,

P(1 collision in 6 month period)

= $0.6543894283^{6}$

$\simeq 0.0785267444$ ------------------------------------------------(7)

So,

P(No collision in 6 months period)

= $(P(X =0)^{6}$

$\simeq 0.1652988882$ ---------------------------------(8)

so,

P(1 or fewer collision in 6 months period)

= (8) + (7 ) = 0.0785267444 +0.1652988882

$\simeq 0.2438$ ---------------------------------------------(9)
