Answer:

700 lbs and 3.742

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.

a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have

expected number of pounds = \frac{14}{0.02} \\=700

b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in  a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal

i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14

Std deviation =\sqrt{14} =3.742

What is the axis of symmetry for the function f(x)=7−4x+x2?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the parabola is given by  

Comparing this equation with vertex form of a parabola , where (h,k) is the vertex

h = 2

k = 3

Hence, vertex is (2,3)

Now, axis of symmetry of a parabola passes through the vertex and divide the parabola in two equal halves.

Hence, axis of symmetry of the parabola is given by

x = h

x = 2

Third option is correct.

Use the equation=
x^2+5^2=9^2
x^2+25=81
x^2+25-25=81-25
x^2=56
\sqrt{x} = \sqrt{56}

Which inequality is represented by this graph? 0 - 345> x O 0 -34.5 0 -355 cx​
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the white dot on the graph:

From what it looks like, x is right between -35 and -34 x (which is -35.5).

If that is the case then none of the answers are correct since -35.5 is <u>equal or less</u> than x. (the sign looks like this:  "\leq" )

But if you have to choose one of the answers then number 4 (-35.5 < x) would be closest.
