Suppose the number of messages that an inbox receives may be modeled by a Poisson distribution. If the average number of message

s per hour is 18, then what is the probability it will receive between 15 and 20 messages during any given hour?

Answer:

0.36427

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = λ = 18 messages per hour

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x!

P(X ≤ x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to x)

But the probability required is that the messages thay come in an hour is between 15 and 20, that is, P(15 < X < 20)

P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15)

These probabilities will be evaluated using a cumulative frequency calculator.

P(X < 20) = 0.65092

P(X ≤ 15) = poissoncdf(18, 15) = 0.28665

P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15) = 0.65092 - 0.28665 = 0.36427.

Write <br> 9/12<br> in simplest form.
Yuri [45]
9/12 in simplest form would be 3/4 because you divide bothe 9 and 12 dived by three because what you do to the denominator you do to the nominator so after you divide 9/12 by 3 you would have 3/4 which 3/4 is 9/12 in simplest form

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x² - x - 3=0?
Tamiku [17]

The given quadratic equation is

2 {x}^{2}  - x - 3 = 0

comparing with

{ax}^{2}  + bx + c = 0

We get ,

a = 2 \\ b =  - 1 \\ c =  - 3

formula :

D =  {b}^{2}  - 4ac \\  \\ D =  {( - 1)}^{2}  - 4 \times 2 \times ( - 3) \\  \\ D = 1 - ( - 24) \\  \\D  = 1 + 24 \\  \\D  = 25.

Discriminant of given quadratic equation is 25 .

option (B) 25 ✔

Mr. and Mrs. Storey drove 3,200 miles in all during their vacation. Mr. Storey drove 3 times as much as Mrs. Storey. How many mi
baherus [9]
Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs.. ok

so how far Mrs. drove will be X
and Mr. will be Y
but we know that Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs therefor 
Y= 3X

and the Sum = 3,200

3,200=X+Y
3,200= X+(3X)
3,200=4X
div both by 4
800=X
now we know how far Mrs drove now to find Mr.
again "Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs"
800 * 3 = 2,400
