Answer:

a) 3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

b) 58.31% probability that there are no more than 10 arrivals.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

If the mean number of arrivals is 10

This means that \mu = 10

(a) that there will be exactly 15 arrivals?

This is P(X = 15). So

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 15) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{15}}{(15)!} = 0.0347

3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

(b) no more than 10 arrivals?

This is P(X \leq 10)

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.000045

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00045

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0023

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0076

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0189

P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0378

P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0631

P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0901

P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1126

P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.1251

P(X = 10) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{10}}{(10)!} = 0.1251

P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000045 + 0.00045 + 0.0023 + 0.0076 + 0.0189 + 0.0378 + 0.0631 + 0.0901 + 0.1126 + 0.1251 + 0.1251 = 0.5831

58.31% probability that there are no more than 10 arrivals.

Answer:

72.22 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the formula for circumference is C=2πr so since the diameter is twice the radius, the radius is 11.5. Now you have to multiply 11.5 and 2. That equals 23. Now you have to multiply 23 by π which is about 3.14. 23 times 3.14 is 72.22 inches.

Hope this helped!! :D

26=4v+3v+12 can anyone help?
motikmotik

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms

3v + 4v

26=7v+12

Subtract    12  from both sides of the equation

26-12

12-12

14=7v

Simplify

so subtract the 12's

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

14 divided by 7

7 divided by 7

Simplify

do the division and move the term on the other side and it would be

v=2

Solution

 

v=2
