Answer:

0.77978

Explanation:

This is a Poisson distribution problem

Poisson distribution formula is given as

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!

λ = mean = 10 tankers per day

x = variable whose probability is required

The probability that more than 7 tankers arrives in a certain day = 1 - (Probability that 7 or less tankers arrive in a certain day)

P(X > 7) = 1 - P(X ≤ 7)

P(X ≤ x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to x)

P(X ≤ 7) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + + P(X=6) + P(X=7) + P(X=8)

Computing this,

P(X≤7) = 0.22022

P(X > 7 ) = 1 - P(X≤7) = 1 - 0.22022 = 0.77978

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

850.8480103 feet

Explanation:

First you take the diameter and find the circumference, which is (2)(pi)(r) plug in your r which is 26/2= 13 so 2(13)(pi) and multiply taht by 125 after that take your answer and divide by 12which is 850.8480103

A 10MHz clock frequency is applied to a cascaded counter consisting of a modulus-5 counter, a modulus-8 counter and two modulus-
rewona [7]

If a clock frequency is applied to a cascaded counter, The lowest output frequency available will be

  • The lowest output frequency will be = 2.5kHz

<h3>Cascade Counter</h3>

For a cascade counter,

Overall frequency = 5*8*10*10

Overall frequency = 4000

<h3>Lowest Frequency</h3>

Therefore,

the lowest frequency

F = \frac{10*10^6}{4*10^3}\\\\F = 2500Hz\\\\F = 2.5kHz
