Suppose the number of insect fragments in a chocolate bar follows a Poisson process with the expected number of fragments in a 2

00-gram chocolate bar being 10.2. 15. What is the expected number of insect fragments in 1/4 of a 200-gram chocolate bar? 16. What is the probability that you have to eat more than 10 grams of chocolate bar before nding your rst fragment? 17. What is the expected number of grams to be eaten before encountering the rst fragment?

Answer:

a)The expected number of insect fragments in 1/4 of a 200-gram chocolate bar is 2.55

b)0.6004

c)19.607

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes the number of fragments in 200 gm chocolate bar with expected number of fragments 10.2

X ~ Poisson(A) where \lambda = \frac{10.2}{200} = 0.051

a)We are supposed to find the expected number of insect fragments in 1/4 of a 200-gram chocolate bar

\frac{1}{4} \times 200 = 50

50 grams of bar contains expected fragments = \lambda x = 0.051 \times 50=2.55

So, the expected number of insect fragments in 1/4 of a 200-gram chocolate bar is 2.55

b) Now we are supposed to find the probability that you have to eat more than 10 grams of chocolate bar before ending your first fragment

Let X denotes the number of grams to be eaten before another fragment is detected.

P(X>10)= e^{-\lambda \times x}= e^{-0.051 \times 10}= e^{-0.51}=0.6004

c)The expected number of grams to be eaten before encountering the first fragments :

E(X)=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{0.051}=19.607 grams

The mountain road was distinctly -------: it twisted
Dima020 [189]

(C) "serpentine"

Serpentine is a winding word. The phrase would read "The mountain road was distinctly serpentine: it twisted back and forth along the contours of the hillside" if this term were added to the text.

The comma denotes that the meaning of the omitted phrase will be clarified in the second clause of the sentence. Because a winding road does actually curve "back and forth," the word "serpentine" matches the text. The answer is not (A).

A panoramic view is one that encompasses the entire surrounding region. (B) is the wrong answer. Precipitous refers to a steep slope. The answer is not (D). The term "circumscribed" describes something that is restrained or encircled by a line. The answer is not (E). Moving backward is referred to as retrograding.
