Suppose the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average

birth rate of 1.8 births per hour. What is the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital?

Answer:

0.5372

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average birth rate of 1.8 births per hour.

Let X be the no of births in the hospital per hour

X is Poisson

with mean = 1.8

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital

= P(X\geq 2)\\= 1-F(1)\\= 1-0.4628\\= 0.5372

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital = 0.5372

V=(4/3)pir^2

c=2pir
12=2pir
divide 2
6=pir
divide by pi
6/pi=r

sub for r
V=(4/3)pi(6/pi)^2
V=(4/3)pi(36/(pi^2))
V=(4/3)(36/pi)
V=144/(3pi)
V=48/pi
aprox pi=3.141592
V=15.2788777155

V=15.28 in^3

Which function increases at a faster rate on 0 to infinity, f(x) = x2 or g(x) = 2x? Explain your reasoning.
pochemuha

Using a table of values, the outputs of f(x) for whole numbers are 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, and so on. For the same input values, g(x) has outputs of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Continuing to double the output each time results in larger outputs than those of f(x). The exponential function, g(x), has a constant multiplicative rate of change and will increase at a faster rate than the quadratic function.
