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:

x\approx 63.4^0

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given right triangle,

Measure of angle = x°

Opposite side of the angle = 12 units

Adjacent side of the angle = 6 units

By taking tangent ratio of the given angle,

tan(x°) = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

           = \frac{12}{6}

           = 2

x^0=\text{tan}^{-1}(2)}

x=63.43^0

x\approx 63.4^0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the cost of pears= $2.25 each

       and cost of mango= $2.25 each

Step two:

the chef bought x pears and y mangoes

let the total cost of pears be P

and for mango be M

P=2.25x-----------1

M=2.25y----------2
