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

marta [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Heights above the sea level are denoted with positive notations and depths below the sea level with negative.

Height of the highest peak of the mountain = +2228 meters

Lowest point of the lake = -15 meters

Difference between these elevations = 2228 - (-15)

                                                              = 2243 meters

Therefore, Option (A) will be the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure but from what I see it says 'sin <em>C </em>' and both 12 , 20 are on C.

so i simply just did 12/20

reduced once - 6/10

reduced twice - 3/5
