Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a poisson distribution. Let x be a random representing the number of calls in a given time interval.

a) the expected number of calls in one hour is the same as the mean score in 60 minutes. Thus,

Mean score = 60/2 = 30 calls

b) The interval of interest is 5 minutes.

µ = 5/2 = 2.5

We want to determine P(x = 3)

Using the Poisson probability calculator,

P(x = 3) = 0.21

c) µ = 5/2 = 2.5

We want to determine P(x = 0)

Using the Poisson probability calculator,

P(x = 0) = 0.08

Write an algebraic expression for the statement.The income earned at $ 10.91 per hour for w hours....
Alja [10]
This is a "rate of pay" problem.  The amount earned is equal to the (rate of pay) times the (number of hours worked).  

Let the income be represented by "i".  Then the formula is i = ($10.91/hour)*w, where w is the number of hours worked and has the unit of measurement "hours."

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of
Volgvan

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at (2,8).

Directrix of the parabola is y=10.

Let (x,y) be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of (x,y) from focus = Distance of (x,y) from directrix.

Therefore,

\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Hence, the equation of the parabola is y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9.

Is the data point, P, an outlier, an influential point, both, or neither?
telo118 [61]

I'd say an outlier. P is separated noticably from the other points and would not considerably affect the slope of the line
