According to a study, an average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. Assume that the number of report

ed cell phone thefts per day in the city follow the Poisson distribution. What is the probability that four or five cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow?

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

What is the y- intercept of the function described in the table x: 1,2,3,4 y: 8,6,4,2
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the function is: b=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

x                 y

1                 8

2                6

3                4

4                2

Taking any two points to find the slope

  • (1, 8)
  • (2, 6)

The slope between (1, 8) and (2, 6) is:

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(1,\:8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(2,\:6\right)

m=\frac{6-8}{2-1}

m=-2

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Substituting m=-2 and any point i.e. (1, 8) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation to find the y-intercept (b).

y=mx+b

8 = -2(1) + b

8 = -2 + b

b = 8+2

b = 10

Thus, the y-intercept of the function is: b=10
