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

Answer:

\sf{12^{8} }

Step-by-step explanation:

12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 = \sf{12^{8} }

\sf{12^{8} } = 429,981,696

An easy way to think of this is that there are 12 is being multiplied by itselg 8 times (there are 8 12s). Similar to how squared numbers work...

Hope this helps! If you need further explanation, let me know!
