Parker is laying pavers to build a patio in his backyard. Each square paver measures 2 feet on each side. He would like the pati

o to be 16 feet by 8 feet. Area of a square formula A = s2. Area of a rectangle formula A = lw. How many pavers does Parker need to build the patio?

Answer:

32 pavers

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the area of one square paver

The area of a square is

$A=s^{2}$

where

s is the length side of the square

we have

$s=2\ ft$

substitute

$A=2^{2}\\A=4\ ft^{2}$

step 2

Find out the area of the rectangular patio

we know that

The area of a rectangle is

$A=LW$

we have

$L=16\ ft\\W=8\ ft$

substitute

$A=(16)(8)\\A=128\ ft^2$

step 3

Find out the number of pavers needed to build the patio

Divide the area of the rectangular patio by the area of one paver

$128\ ft^2/4\ ft^{2}=32\ pavers$

Greq and Sam oredered a pizza for lunch. Greg ate 3/4 of the pizza, and Sam ate 1/8 of the pizza. How much of the whoe pizza was

MatroZZZ [7]

Convert 3/4 to a denominator of 8 by multiplying by two, getting you:

6/8 + 1/8

Add those and you get D) 7/8

Let the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie have a Poisson distribution. We want the probability that a cookie

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

$\lambda \geq 6.63835$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson Distribution is "a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event".

Let X the random variable that represent the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie. We know that $X \sim Poisson(\lambda)$

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

$f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...$

And f(x)=0 for other case.

For this distribution the expected value is the same parameter $\lambda$

$E(X)=\mu =\lambda$

On this case we are interested on the probability of having at least two chocolate chips, and using the complement rule we have this:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

Using the pmf we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^0}{0!}=e^{-\lambda}$

$P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^1}{1!}=\lambda e^{-\lambda}$

And replacing we have this:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=1-[e^{-\lambda} +\lambda e^{-\lambda}[]$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)$

And we want this probability that at least of 99%, so we can set upt the following inequality:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)\geq 0.99$

And now we can solve for $\lambda$

$0.01 \geq e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)$

Applying natural log on both sides we have:

$ln(0.01) \geq ln(e^{-\lambda}+ln(1+\lambda)$

$ln(0.01) \geq -\lambda+ln(1+\lambda)$

$\lambda-ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01) \geq 0$

Thats a no linear equation but if we use a numerical method like the Newthon raphson Method or the Jacobi method we find a good point of estimate for the solution.

Using the Newthon Raphson method, we apply this formula:

$x_{n+1}=x_n -\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$

Where :

$f(x_n)=\lambda -ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01)$

$f'(x_n)=1-\frac{1}{1+\lambda}$

Iterating as shown on the figure attached we find a final solution given by:

$\lambda \geq 6.63835$
