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

A homemade loaf of bread turns out to be a perfect cube. Five slices of bread, each 0.6 inch thick, are cut from one end of the
erastovalidia [21]

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.

Please find attached the graph.
