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

Use the quadratic formula to solve x2+7x+3. Show all of your work. Then describe the solution.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the quadratic x^2 + 7x + 3 are a = 1, b = 7 and c = 3.

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 49 - 4(1)(3), or 49-12, or 37.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know that this quadratic equation has two real, different solutions.

      -7 ± √37

x = ---------------   =>   x = (-7 + √37)/2  and  x = (-7 - √37)/2

             2

In words:  This quadratic equation has two real, unequal solutions involving the radicand 37.
