The number of traffic accidents occurring on any given day in Coralville is Poisson distributed with mean 5. The probability tha

t any such accidentinvolves an uninsured driver is 0.25, independent of all other such accidents.
Calculate the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no trafficaccidents that involve an uninsured driver.



The answer is 0.278. Could you please explain why?

Answer:

The answer is 0.2865

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

The mean number of accidents on any given day in Coralville is 5. Of those, 25% are with an uninsured drive.

So \mu = 5*0.25 = 1.25

Calculate the probability that on a given day in Coralville there are no trafficaccidents that involve an uninsured driver.

This is P(X = 0). So

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.25}*(1.25)^{0}}{(0)!} = 02865

The least common multiple of two numbers is 3780, and the greatest common divisor is 18. given that one of the numbers is 180, w
garri49 [273]
<span>To solve these GCF and LCM problems, factor the numbers you're working with into primes: 
3780 = 2*2*3*3*3*5*7
180 = 2*2*3*3*5 
</span><span>We know that the LCM of the two numbers, call them A and B, = 3780 and that A = 180. The greatest common factor of 180 and B = 18 so B has factors 2*3*3 in common with 180 but no other factors in common with 180. So, B has no more 2's and no 5's
</span><span>Now, LCM(180,B) = 3780. So, A or B must have each of the factors of 3780. B needs another factor of 3 and a factor of 7 since LCM(A,B) needs for either A or B to have a factor of 2*2, which A has, and a factor of 3*3*3, which B will have with another factor of 3, and a factor of 7, which B will have. 
So, B = 2*3*3*3*7 = 378.</span>
