Given that an article suggests that a Poisson process can be used to represent the occurrence of structural loads over time. 
Suppose the mean time between occurrences of loads is 0.4 year. 
a). How many loads can be expected to occur during a 4-year period? 
b). What is the probability that more than 11 loads occur during a 4-year period? 
c). How long must a time period be so that the probability of no loads occurring during that period is at most 0.3?



Part A:
The number of loads that can be expected to occur during a 4-year period is given by:
\frac{4}{0.4} =10 \ loads


Part B:

The expected value of the number of loads to occur during the 4-year period is 10 loads.
This means that the mean is 10.

The probability of a poisson distribution is given by

P(k \ events \ in \ an \ interval)= \frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}

where: k = 0, 1, 2, . . ., 11 and λ = 10.

P(k=0)= \frac{10^0e^{-10}}{0!} =0.000045 \\  \\ P(k=1)= \frac{10^1e^{-10}}{1!} =0.000454 \\  \\ P(k=2)= \frac{10^2e^{-10}}{2!} =0.002270 \\  \\ P(k=3)= \frac{10^3e^{-10}}{3!} =0.007567 \\  \\ P(k=4)= \frac{10^4e^{-10}}{4!} =0.018917 \\  \\ P(k=5)= \frac{10^5e^{-10}}{5!} =0.037833 \\  \\ P(k=6)= \frac{10^6e^{-10}}{6!} =0.063055 \\  \\ P(k=7)= \frac{10^7e^{-10}}{7!} =0.090079 \\  \\ P(k=8)= \frac{10^8e^{-10}}{8!} =0.112599 \\  \\ P(k=9)= \frac{10^9e^{-10}}{9!} =0.125110

P(k=10)= \frac{10^{10}e^{-10}}{10!} =0.125110 \\  \\ P(k=11)= \frac{10^{11}e^{-10}}{11!} =0.113736

The probability that more than 11 loads occur during a 4-year period is given by:

1 - [P(k = 0) + P(k = 1) + P(k = 2) + . . . + P(k = 11)]

= 1 - [0.000045 + 0.000454 + 0.002270 + 0.007567 + 0.018917 + 0.037833 + 0.063055 + 0.090079 + 0.112599 + 0.125110+ 0.125110 + 0.113736]

= 1 - 0.571665 = 0.428335

Therefore, the probability that more than eleven loads occur during a 4-year period is 0.4283




Part C:

The time period that must be so that the probability of no loads occurring during that period is at most 0.3 is obtained from the equation:

\frac{\lambda^0e^{-\lambda}}{0!} \leq0.3 \\  \\ \Rightarrow e^{-\lambda}\leq0.3 \\  \\ \Rightarrow-\lambda\leq\ln{0.3} \\  \\ \Rightarrow -\lambda\leq-1.204 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\lambda\geq1.204

Therefore, the time period that must be so that the probability of no loads occurring during that period is at most 0.3 is given by:

\frac{4}{1.204} =3.3 \ years

If the point (4,-2) is included in a direct variation relationship, which point also belongs in this direct variation? A. (-4,2)
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

(-4,2) belongs in this direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the direct variation relationship is expressed by the equation y = mx ........ (1), where x and y are in direct variation and k is the variation constant.

Now, the point (4,-2) is included in the direct variation relationship, then from equation (1) we get, -2 = 4m

⇒ m =  - \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the equation (1) becomes y = - \frac{1}{2}x

⇒ x + 2y = 0 ......... (2)

Now, from the given four options only the point (-4,2) satisfies the relation (2).

Hence, (-4,2) belongs in this direct variation. (Answer)

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

With the filled in point means equal to but everything from there is less than. So the first part is equal to or less than 1. The second part is not equal with the open point so everything is greater than 1.

Which of the following rules could represent the function shown in the table?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

f(x) = 2x+1​

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation in slope intercept form y = mx + b where m = slope b = y-intercept

To find slope ,

m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - 1) / (1 - 0)

m = 32/1

m = 2

y-intercept b = 1

In this case y = 2x + 1 or f(x) = 2x+1​
