Answer:

A. 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

While both of these numbers are close to 7, 5.3 is the closest and we can find this out with subtraction. So, 9.9 - 7 = 2.9, but 7 - 5.3 = 1.7. Which one can we determine is closer? Well, 2.9 > 1.7, so our answer must be A. 5.3!

Have a nice day and I hope this helped!

Answer:

option A 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 5.3

B.9.9

Find out the decimal that is close to 7

Let find the difference

$7-5.3= 1.7$

$9.9-7=2.9$

The difference is more between the numbers 7 and 9.9

The difference is less between the numbers 7 and 5.3

So 5.3 is close to 7

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour. Use the Poisson distribution to find the p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour.

This means that $\mu = 0.55$

Probability that during a randomly selected hour, the organization will receive fewer than two calls.

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.577$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.317$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.577 + 0.317 = 0.894$

8. A triangle has sides with lengths of 6, 8, and 10 units, and a square has a

svet-max [94.6K]

Difference between the area of the triangle and square is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the triangle given its 3 sides using the Heron's formula.

Area of the triangle = $\sqrt{s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$ where s = $\frac{a + b + c}{2}$

⇒ s = (6 + 8 + 10)/2 = 24/2 = 12

$\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$ = $\sqrt{12(12-6)(12-8)(12-10)}$

= $\sqrt{12(6)(4)(2)}$ = $\sqrt{576}$ = 24 sq. units

Step 2: Find the area of the square with perimeter = 28 units.

Perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 28

⇒ Side of the square = 28/4 = 7 units

⇒ Area of the square = (side)² = 7² = 49 sq. units

Step 3: Find the difference between the area of the square and triangle.

Difference = 49 - 24 = 25
