Answer:

The slope of one of the guy wires is m=0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The slope of one of the guy wire is equal to divide the vertical distance of the guy wire by the horizontal distance of the guy wire

we have

$d=100\ ft$ ----> horizontal distance

$h=70\ ft$ ----> vertical distance

$m=\frac{h}{d}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{70}{100}=0.7$

Answer:

1.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that our random variable $X$ follows a Poisson distribution $P(X=k)=\frac{\lambda^k e^-^p}{k!} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ p=\lambda$

Evaluate the formula at $k=2,3:$

$P(X=2)=0.5\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}\\\\P(X=3)=\frac{1}{6}\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}$

#since

$4P(X=2)=P(X=3);\\\\0.5\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}=4\times\frac{1}{6}\lambda^3e^{-\lambda}\\\\0.5\lambda^2=\frac{2}{3}\lambda^3\\\\0.75=\lambda$

The mean and variance of the Poisson distributed random variable is equal to $\lambda$ :

$\mu=\lambda=0.75\\\sigma ^2=\lambda=0.75$

#By property variance:

$\sigma ^2=V(X)=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2=E(X^2)\\\\E(X^2)=\sigma^2+\mu^2=0.75+0.75^2=1.3125$

The expectation is 1.3125

Find the mean and range 26 19 23 39 31 34 23 25

Delicious77 [7]

I got 27.5 for the mean
mean: you add up all the #'s and divide them my their quantity( in other words by how many numbers there are)
In your case you have 8 numbers, you add them and divide them by 8!

Hope it helps ;)
