The opponents of soccer team A are of two types: either they are a class 1 or a class 2 team. The number of goals team A scores

against a class i opponent is a Poisson random variable with mean λ , where λ = 2, λ = 3. This weekend the team has two games against teams they are not very familiar with. Assuming that the first team they play is a class 1 team with probability 0.6 and the second is, independently of the class of the first team, a class 1 team with probability 0.3, determine
(a) the expected number of goals team A will score this weekend.
(b) the probability that team A will score a total of five goals.

I need help with part b of this question. I have part a covered. Please explain in detail on how to obtain the answer for part b.

Answer:

a) The expected number of goals team A will score is 5.1

b) The probability that team A will score a total of 5 goals is 0.1147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of goals scored by team A in both matches. Let X1 and X2 be the total amount of goals team A scores in match 1 and 2 respectively, then X = X1+X2, and also

a)

E(X) = E(X1+X2) = E(X1)+E(X2) = 0.6*2+0.4*3 + 0.3*2+0.7*3 = 5.1

b) In order for X to be equal to 5 we have 5 possibilities

- X1 is 0 and X2 is 5

- X1 is 1 and X2 is 4

- X1 is 2 and X2 is 3

- X1 is 3 and X2 is 2

- X1 is 4 and X2 is 1

- X1 is 5 and X2 is 0

Let T1 be a poisson distribution with mean λ = 2, then

P(T1=0) = e^{-2}

P(T1=1) = 2 * e^{-2}

P(T1=2) = 2 * e^{-2}

P(T1=3) = \frac{4}{3} \, e^{-2}

P(T1=4) = \frac{2}{3}\, e^{-2}

P(T1=5) = \frac{4}{15}\,e^{-2}

Lets do the same with a Poisson distribution T2 with mean λ = 3

P(T2=0) = e^{-3}

P(T2=1) = 3 \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=2) = \frac{9}{2} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=3) = \frac{9}{2} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=4) = \frac{27}{8} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=5) = \frac{81}{40} \, e^{-3}

Now, we are ready to compute the probability that X is equal to 5.

P(X1 = 0, X2 = 5) = (0.6* e^{-2} + 0.4*e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{4}{15}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{81}{40} e^{-3}) = 0.00823\\P(X1 = 1, X2 = 4) = (0.6* 2e^{-2} + 0.4*3 e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{2}{3}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{27}{8} e^{-3}) = 0.03214\\P(X1 = 2, X2 = 3) = (0.6* 2e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{9}{2}e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{4}{3}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{9}{2} e^{-3}) = 0.05317\\P(X1 = 3, X2 = 2) = (0.6* \frac{4}{3}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{9}{2}*e^{-3}) * (0.3*2e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{9}{2} e^{-3}) = 0.0471

P(X1 = 4, X2 = 1) = (0.6* \frac{2}{3}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{27}{8}e^{-3}) * (0.3*2e^{-2}  + 0.7*3e^{-3}) = 0.0225\\P(X1 = 5, X2 = 0) = (0.6* \frac{4}{15}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{81}{40}e^{-3}) * (0.3*e^{-2}  + 0.7*e^{-3}) = 0.0047

We can conclude that

P(X = 5) = 0.00823+0.03214+0.05317+0.0471+0.0225+0.0047 = 0.1147

The probability that team A will score a total of 5 goals is 0.1147

Express the radical using the imaginary unit, iii. Express your answer in simplified form. \pm\sqrt{-34}=\pm± −34 ​ =±plus minus
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

\pm \sqrt{-34} = \pm 5.831i

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to express the given radical using imaginary unit.

\sqrt{-34}

We know that, imaginary unit:

i = \sqrt{-1}

We may solve the radical as:

\pm \sqrt{-34}\\=\pm \sqrt{34\times -1}\\=\pm \sqrt{34}\times \sqrt{-1}\\=\pm \sqrt{34}\times i\\=\pm \sqrt{34}i\\\approx \pm 5.831i

Marcy buys a box containing 5 pizzas at the supermarket. The box of pizzas costs $24.25 and Marcy is charged an additional $1.21
8090 [49]

1/5 of the price of the box of pizzas is about $4.85, and 1/5 of the tax is about $0.24. Marcy's guess that a pizza costs $8.47 is <em>not reasonable</em>. The cost is closer to $5.10.
