Suppose the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average
1 answer:
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
=
the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital = 0.5372

A cube has all sides of equal length.
So let the side be x
that will be length = width = height = x
Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf. But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.
For each slice the dimensions are -
Length = x
height = x
width = 0.6
Volume of the original loaf is x³.
Volume of 5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).
Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.
So, equation of the volume is=
x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235
Solve for x using this equation.
x³ - 3x² = 235
x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0
Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get
x = 7.35
Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.
