Answer:0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

An average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. This means our mean value, u = 6

For poisson distribution,

P(x=r) = (e^-u×u^r)/r!

probability that four cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow=

P(x=4)= (e^-6×6^4)/4!

= (0.00248×1296)/4×3×2×1

= 3.21408/24=

0.13392

P(x=5)= (e^-6×6^5)/5!

= (0.00248×7776)/5×4×3×2×1

= 19.28448/120

= 0.1607

probability that four or five cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow

= P(x=4) + P(x=5)

= 0.13392 + 0.1607

= 0.294624

Approximately 0.29

Find g(4) and f(g(4)) <br> f(x)=x^2-x+1 <br> g(x)= 3x-5
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

g(4)  = 7 and f(g(4)) = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

First find g:

g(x) = 3x-5

g(x) = 3(4) - 5

g(x) = 12 - 5

g(x) = 7

Plug in:

f(g(4))

f(7)

Now, find f:

7^2 - 7 + 1

49 - 7 + 1

42 + 1

f(x) = 43

forsale [732]

Answer:

B) μD = 0.60 ± 0.10(1.397)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

MD±t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where

MD=60

n=9

df=n-1=8

t_{\alpha/2, n-1}=1.397

s=\sqrt{0.09} =0.3

Then the confidence interval is

μD=0.60±1.397*(0.3/√9)

μD=0.60±0.10*(1.397)
