Answer:

a) 0.0613 b)0.0803

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Bergen estimates that the probability is 0.025 that an applicant will not be able to repay his or her installment loan.

p = 0.025

Let's consider that an applicant is not be able to repay  his or her installment loan as a ''success''

p (success) = 0.025

Last month she made 40 loans ⇒ n = 40

For the poisson approximation to the binomial we need to calculate n.p that  will be the λ parameter in our poisson approximation

n.p=40.(0.025)=1

λ=n.p=1

Let's rename λ = j

In our poisson approximation :

f(k,j)=\frac{e^{-j} .j^{k} }{k!}

f(k,j) is the probability function for our poisson variable where we calculated j,e is the euler number and k is the number of success :

f(k,1)=\frac{e^{-1} .1^{k} }{k!}

For a) We are looking the probability of 3 success :

f(3,1)=\frac{e^{-1} .1^{3} }{3!}=0.0613

For b) We are looking for the probability of at least 3 success

If ''L'' is the number of success

P(L\geq 3)=1-P(L\leq 2)

P(L\leq 2)=P(L=0)+P(L=1)+P(L=2)

P(L\leq 2)=f(0,1)+f(1,1)+f(2,1)

P(L\leq 2)=e^{-1} +e^{-1}+\frac{e^{-1}}{2} =e^{-1}(1+1+\frac{1}{2} )

P(L\geq 3)=1-P(L\leq 2)=1-e^{-1}(1+1+\frac{1}{2} )=0.0803

PIT_PIT [208]
Since the number of days in July and in August is the same, there is no need to work out on the total number per month.

The mean number of people per day in August = 160 + 20 = 180

Find the vertex and axis of symmetry of each quadratic equation.
icang [17]

Answer: Vertex (-2,-15) and therefore the axis of sym will be -2

Step-by-step explanation: Using -b/2a you can deduce that 4x^2 is a, 16x is b and 1 is c. So -b/2a = -16/8 = -2. Then you plug -2 for y and yu should get -15. Then x will be your axis of symetry to x=-2

5. A researcher creates a scatter plot that displays the relationship between the number of years in business, , and the percent
Black_prince [1.1K]

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the residual for the two points will be 0.087 and -0.033 respectively.

<h3>How to find the residual.</h3>

From the complete information, the predicted value for the point (3, 0.42) will be:

= (0.091 × 3) + 0.060

= 0.0273 + 0.060

= 0.333

Therefore, the residual will be:

= 0.42 - 0.333 = 0.087

The predicted value for the point (3, 0.3) will be:

y = 0.091x + 0.060.

= (0.091 × 3) + 0.060.

= 0.333

Therefore, the residual will be:

= 0.3 - 0.333 = -0.033

Therefore, the residual for the two points will be 0.087 and -0.333 respectively.

How to solve it to put 65% of his Christmas money in the bank.If he had $70 left after he put the money in the bank. How much mo
kow [346]

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of Christmas money he had at the beginning.

He put 65% of X in the bank. This is 0.65x

He has $70 left which is equal to 0.35x

We need to write an equation to find the value of x.

70 = 0.35x

Divide by 0.35 to find the value of x.

70/0.35 = 0.35x/0.35

200 = x

He received $200 for Christmas.
