Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.
X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8
We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0
The Poisson probability is given by,
P(X=k) = 
Here we have X=0, mean =3.8
Hence probability that X=0 is given by
P(X=0) = 
P(X=0) = 
P(X=0) = 0.0224
The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224
Answer:
327
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Rate of change of the area of the square is 42 units at t = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We note that the area of the square is given by:
but we aim to find
. But we can use the chain rule to pull out that dA/dt. Doing so gives us:

Now,
(by the power rule and 
But since we have "x" and not "t", we want to find what x is when t = 2. Substituting t = 2 gives us x(2) = 3(2) + 1 = 7.
So, finally, we see that:
