To find it it is
ax^2+bx+c
if the first term (a) is 1 then c=b/2
b=-1/4
(-1/4)/2=-1/4 times 1/2=-1/8

k=-1/8

Answer:

(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.

The random variable X\sim Poisson(\lambda = 0.62).

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

             =1-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{1}}{1!}\\=1-0.54335-0.33144\\=0.12521\\\approx0.1252

Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b)

The average deaths over 7 year period is: \lambda=7\times0.62=4.34

Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-4.34}(4.34)^{0}}{0!}=0.01304\approx0.0130

Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Answer:

The scale factor is  

Is a reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side of resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the corresponding side of resulting triangle

y------> the corresponding side of the first triangle

so

In this problem we have

substitute

The scale factor is less than one

therefore

Is a reduction

Nelson goes to three main places most days school, work and his home. They are graphed below. What is the distance between his h
Zarrin [17]

ANSWER

9.5

EXPLANATION

To find the distance between home and work, we have to use the formula:

D\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have that home is at point (3, -3) and work is at point (0, 6).

Therefore:

(x1, y1) = (3, -3)

(x2, y2) = (0, 6)

Therefore, we have that:

\begin{gathered} D\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(0-3)^2+(6-(-3))^2} \\ D\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(-3)^2+(6+3)^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(-3)^2+(9)^2} \\ D\text{ = }\sqrt[]{9\text{ + 81}}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{90} \\ D\text{ = 9.5} \end{gathered}

The answer is 9.5
