The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. It can be assumed that the proba

bility of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. It is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3. The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is _________.

Answer:

The probability that occurrence of 8 in ten minutes is 0.0771.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson Distribution:

A discrete random variable X having the enumerable set {0,1,2,.....} as the spectrum, is said to have Poisson distribution with parameter \mu (>0), if the p.m.f is given by

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

               = 0,           elsewhere

The mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3.

Here \mu = 5.3 and x= 8

P(X=8)=\frac{e^{-5.3}(5.3)^8}{8!}

               =0.0771

The probability that occurrence of 8 in ten minutes is 0.0771.

Answer:

Yes the relationship is linear and given by:

y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9) (first option of your list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is a linear expression. As we did in previous exercises, we calculate the difference between consecutive y values of the table, and write down the answers we get:

-7-(-2) = -7+2 = -5

-12-(-7) = -12 +7 = -5

-17 - (-12) = -17 + 12 = -5

We notice that all of them give "-5"

Now we evaluate the difference between consecutive x-values in a similar fashion:

-5 -(-9) = -5+9 = 4

-1-(-5) = -1+5 = 4

3-(-1) = 3+1 = 4

We see that they all give 4 as the difference.

That means that the rate of change \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2}=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{-5}{4}

This means that the slope (rate of change) of the line is "-5/4"

We can now use the general point-slope form to write the equation of the line, using the first pair of the table as our selected point, and using "-5/4" for the slope:

y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x-(-9))\\y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)

which is the first expression listed among your possible answer choices.

Place the decimal point right after the first nonzero digit, which is 3. 

So you'll go from this 0.003045 to this 3.045 after this move.
 
Now ask yourself: "how many spots must I move the decimal point to get back to 0.003045?"

The answer is "3 spots to the left"

The exponent of the final answer is -3
The negative indicates "move left" and the 3 tells us how many places to move the decimal

Therefore, 0.003045 = 3.045 \times 10^{-3}

Answer: Choice C)
This is assuming you meant to write the -3 as an exponent
