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

Help me please with this<br> Simplify.<br><br> 5a-12a
Oduvanchick [21]
It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.

Factor out a and subtract.

5a-12a \\ (5-12)a \\ \boxed{-7a}

Answer:

<h2>B = 18°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find angle B we use tan

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

From the question

AC is the opposite

BC is the side adjacent to angle B

So we have

tan B = AC / BC

tan B = 6/9

tan B = 1/3

B = tan-¹ 1/3

B = 18.43°

B = 18° to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you

What is the area of this trapezoid?<br><br> 175 in²<br> 140 in²<br> 129 in²<br> 85 in²
aksik [14]
Area of trapezoid = (B1 + B2)h/2

B1 = 15 in. + 4 in. + 6 in. = 25 in.
B2 = 15 in.
h = 7 in.

Area = (25 in. + 15 in.)(7 in.)/2 = 140 in.^2

What is the distance between M(9, −5) and N(−11, 10)?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{25 \: units}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M ( 9 , -5 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and N ( - 11 , 10 ) be ( x₂ , y₂ )

<u>Finding</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>distance </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>these</u><u> </u><u>points</u>

\boxed{ \sf{distance =  \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} +  {(y2 - y1)}^{2}  } }}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {( - 11 - 9)}^{2}  +  {(10 - ( - 5))}^{2} } }}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {( - 20)}^{2} +  {(10 + 5)}^{2}  } }}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {( - 20)}^{2}  +  {(15)}^{2} } }}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{400 + 225}}}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{625}}}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(25)}^{2} } }}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{25 \: units}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
