Mean number of errors in each page = 0.01
Mean number of errors in 100 pages = 0.01*100=1

It is possible to use the cumulative distribution function (CMF), but the math is a little more complex, involving the gamma-function.  Tables and software are available for that purpose.

Thus it is easier to evaluate with a calculator for the individual cases of k=0,1,2 and 3.

The Poisson distribution has a PMF (probability mass function) 
P(k):=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}
with λ = 1
=>
P(0):=\frac{1^0e^{-1}}{0!}=0.3678794
P(1):=\frac{1^1e^{-1}}{1!}=0.3678794
P(2):=\frac{1^2e^{-1}}{2!}=0.1839397
P(3):=\frac{1^3e^{-1}}{3!}=0.0613132
=>
P(k
or
P(k<=3)=0.9810 (to four decimal places)

Kassie recorded the favorite sport of students at her school. She surveyed 800 students. How many more students chose Baseball t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to go about this is to use benchmark percentages.

For baseball, 25% of 800 people chose that, so we can do 800/4 to get 200, so 200 students chose baseball

For basketball, we could do 800/5 but that isn't mental math, so we can do 10% of 800 is 80 and 80*2=160. So 40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.

Can you add and subtract integers and surds together?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Both of these examples are wrong. You cannot add/subtract integers and square roots together, however, you could add square roots together if they have the same number under the square root. For example, 2 - 2√6 will stay as 2 - 2√6 because they aren't like terms. 25 + 5√5 + 5√5 + 5 = 30 + 10√5 because 25 + 5 = 30 and 5√5 + 5√5 = 10√5. We can add 5√5 and 5√5 together because they have the same number under the square root. If we were to compute √2 + √3, we would just leave it as is because they don't have the same number under the square root.

To be considered for pilot school, 12 students took a spatial reasoning test that resulted in this list of scores. Find the valu
lord [1]

Answer:

the 90th percentile is 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

152 121 130 143 122 101 137 98 138 127 145 117

Number of students considered, n = 12

To find:

90th percentile

Now,

Step 1 : Arrange the data in ascending order

98, 101, 117, 121, 122, 127, 130, 137, 138, 143, 145, 152

Step 2 : Compute the position of the 90th percentile

position of the 90th percentile, i = (90% × n)

Thus,

i = 0.90 × 12

or

i = 10.8

Now,

Step 3 : Since, the index i is not an integer, round up to the nearest integer

i.e i = 11

Therefore,

The 90th percentile is the value in 11th position,

i.e 145
