Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 10.4 \:cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle with length L and width W is A= L\cdot W so the differential of <em>A</em> is

dA=\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} \Delta L+\frac{\partial A}{\partial W} \Delta W

\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} = W\\\frac{\partial A}{\partial W}=L so

dA=W\Delta L+L \Delta W

We know that each error is at most 0.1 cm, we have |\Delta L|\leq 0.1, |\Delta W|\leq 0.1. To find the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle we take \Delta L = 0.1, \Delta W = 0.1 and L=55, W=49. This gives

dA=49\cdot 0.1+55 \cdot 0.1

dA=10.4

Thus the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 10.4 \:cm^2

Answer:

P(x < 3) = 0.42319

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The mean density \lambda = 3

Let x be the random variable that follows a Poisson distribution.

Therefore:

\mathtt{P(x) = \dfrac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda ^x}{x!}}     for x =1, 2, 3...

However, the probability that a random quadrat contains less than 3 spatuletails can be computed as:

\mathtt{P(x

\mathtt{P(x

\mathtt{P(x

\mathtt{P(x

\mathtt{P(x

P(x < 3) = 0.42319
