Let X be the number of burglaries in a week. X follows Poisson distribution with mean of 1.9

We have to find the probability that in a randomly selected week the number of burglaries is at least three.

P(X ≥ 3 ) = P(X =3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + ........

= 1 - P(X < 3)

= 1 - [ P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)]

The Poisson probability at X=k is given by

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Using this formula probability of X=2,1,0 with mean = 1.9 is

P(X=2) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{2}}{2!}

P(X=2) = \frac{0.1495 * 3.61}{2}

P(X=2) = 0.2698

P(X=1) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{1}}{1!}

P(X=1) = \frac{0.1495 * 1.9}{1}

P(X=1) = 0.2841

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.1495 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.1495

The probability that at least three will become

P(X ≥ 3 ) = 1 - [ P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)]

= 1 - [0.2698 + 0.2841 + 0.1495]

= 1 - 0.7034

P(X ≥ 3 ) = 0.2966

The probability that in a randomly selected week the number of burglaries is at least three is 0.2966

If Shannon wants to fill a spherical balloon so that it has a circumference of 8π in, how much air will she need to use to fill
lapo4ka [179]

The Volume of air needed for a spherical balloon of radius 4 inch and circumference 8π is 85.3 cubic inch

<h3>Volume of Sphere</h3>

Given Data

  • Circumference = 8π

Let us find radius

circumference = 2πr

8π = 2πr

8 = 2r

r = 8/2

r = 4 inch

Let us find the volume of the sphere

Volume = 4/3πr^3

Volume = 4/3* π*4^3

Volume = 4/3*π64

Volume = 256π/3

Volume = 85.3 cubic inch

Dr. Clarence invested $5000 in an account that draws 3.2% interest, compounded annually. What is the total value of the account
castortr0y [4]
It's simple, you just have to times everything. 5000 x 3.2% x 5 years. After calculating these, 3.2 is as 0.032 so there would be three decimal places. So then it will e 5000 x 0.032 x 5
