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:

13) 2 g

14) 5,000 mL

15) 104,000 m

16) 160 mm

17) 5,600,000 mg

19) 0.25 km

Step-by-step explanation:

13. Convert 2,000 mg to g:

1 mg = 0.001 g

(2,000 mg * 0.001 g) / 1 mg = 2 g

14. Convert 5 L to mL:

1 L  = 1000 mL

(5 L * 1000 mL) / 1 L = 5,000 mL

15. Convert 104 km to m:

1 km = 1000 m

(104 km * 1000 m) / 1 km = 104,000 m

16. Convert 16 cm to mm:

1 cm = 10 mm

(16 cm * 10 mm) / 1 cm = 160 mm

17. Convert 5.6 kg to mg:

1 kg = 1,000,000 mg

(5.6 kg * 1,000,000 mg) / 1 kg = 5,600,000 mg

19) Convert 250 m to km:

1 m = 0.001 km

(250 m * 0.001 km) / 1 m = 0.25 km

you choose between red, blue, yellow or green wallpaper and purple or yellow carpet find the total number of possible outcomes w
suter [353]

Answer:

8 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to list all the possibilities and then count them up.

First Word is the wallpaper color, Second is the carpet color.

Red + Purple, Red + Yellow, Blue + Purple, Blue + Yellow, Yellow + Purple, Yellow + Yellow, Green + Purple, Green + Yellow

After counting them up, we get 8. Therefore there are 8 possible outcomes.

<u>Another way is to multiply the possible outcomes for each event together, and you can get the total number of outcomes. For example, in this problem there is 4 wallpaper colors and 2 carpet colors, so when u multiply them u get 8 total outcomes. Hope this helped!</u>

1. Solve the system of equations by substitution and check your solution.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

x = 7 and y = −2

(7, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 - 3y

3x + 3y = 15

Substitute −3y + 1 for x in 3x + 3y = 15:

3(1 - 3y) + 3y = 15

3 - 9y + 3y = 15

3 - 6y = 15

-3           -3

-6y = 12

/-6     /-6

y = -2

Now we solve for x. Substitute −2 for y in x = −3y + 1:

x = 1 - 3y

x = 1 + (-3)(-2)

x = 1 + 6

x = 7

Now we check our solution.

x = 1 - 3y

7 = 1 + (-3)(-2)

7 = 7 ✅

3x + 3y = 15

3(7) + 3(-2) = 15

21 - 6 = 15

15 = 15 ✅
