Answer:
The probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift is 
The probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability distribution of a Poisson random variable X representing the number of successes occurring in a given time interval or a specified region of space is given by the formula:
Let X be the number of failures of a testing instrument.
We know that the mean 
failures per hour.
(a) To find the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift, you need to:
For an 8-hour shift, the mean is 
(b) To find the probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day, you need to:
For a 24-hour day, the mean is 
Answer:
fx) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. step:
solve the bracket
fx) = 3(
- 1) 2 + 5
2. step:
use the BEDMAS form.
fx) = 
fx) =
1) Parallel lines have equal slopes.
We need to find the slope of the given line by solving for y.
5x - 15y = 30
-15y = -5x + 30
y = (1/3)x - 2
The slope of the given line is 1/3, so the slope of the parallel line is also 1/3.
2) Line 1 has slope 2/3.
Line 2 has slope 2/3.
3) Line 1 is a vertical line through x = 2. Line 2 is a horizontal line through y = -5. The lines are perpendicular.
4) The given line can is solved for y, so we can see its slope is -5/2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. The perpendicular line has slope 2/5. We have point (5, 0) which is (x1, y1) in the slope-point formula.
y - 0 = (2/5)(x - 5)
y = 2/5 x - 2
5) The given equation has slope -3. To find the negative reciprocal, write the slope as a fraction, flip it, and change the sign.
Slope of perpendicular line is 1/3.
Answer: 243, 729
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1, 3, 9, 27, 81 is a geometric sequence where r = 3
a₁ = 1
a₂ = 1 x 3 = 3
a₃ = 3 x 3 = 9
a₄ = 9 x 3 = 27
a₅ = 27 x 3 = 81
To find the next two terms, multiply the previous term by 3:
a₆ = 81 x 3 = 243
a₇ = 243 x 3 = 729
