this number X has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 0.2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
Required:
a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse? (Round to four decimal places)

Answer:

a) 0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b) 0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c) 0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution(for item c).

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}


In which

x is the number of sucesses


e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Poisson mean:

\mu = 0.2

a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse?

One disk, so Poisson.

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164


0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses?

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}&#10;

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.819

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164&#10;

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.819 + 0.164 = 0.983

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.983 = 0.017

0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Two disks, so binomial with n = 2.

A disk has a 0.819 probability of containing no missing pulse, and a 1 - 0.819 = 0.181 probability of containing a missing pulse, so p = 0.181

We want to find P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.181)^{0}.(0.819)^{2} = 0.671

0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

Write a linear function f with the values f(2)=4 and f(−7)=9. A function is f(x)=
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

f(x) = -5/9 x + 5 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2)=4 and f(−7)=9 means the line pass through (2,4) and (- 7,9)

f(x) = mx + b

m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (9 - 4) / (- 7 - 2) = - 5/9

for (2,4) : b = f(x) - mx = y - mx = 4 - (- 5/9) x 2 = 4 + 10/9 = 46/9 = 5 1/9

f(x) = -5/9 x + 5 1/9

check for (-7, 9)    f(-7) = (-5/9) * (-7) + 5 1/9 = 35/9 + 46/9 = 81/9 = 9

How do I Graph y=  –73x+2 .
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

You can obtain any two points on the graph of y=-73x+2 and use it to draw its graph.

When x=0, y=-73*0+2=2

So you plot (0,2)

When x=1, y=-73*1+2=-71

You again plot (1,-71).

With a straight edge you can now draw a straight line through the two points.

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gi
inessss [21]

Answer:

\frac{1429}{120} or 11\frac{109}{120}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7

Let x be the former gives the total number of peaches

We multiply and divide by 120 in right side of the above equation because of 120 is divided by all given denominator and then simplify.

x = \frac{120}{120}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7)

x = \frac{1}{120}(\frac{120}{3}+\frac{120}{4}+\frac{120}{5}+\frac{120}{8}+7\times 120)

x = \frac{1}{120}(40+30+24+15+840)

x = \frac{1}{120}(949)

x = \frac{949}{120}

We add the remaining peaches by given peaches for the original number of peaches in the basket.

Original number of peaches = \frac{949}{120}+4

Original number of peaches = \frac{949+4\times 120}{120}

Original number of peaches = \frac{949+480}{120}

Original number of peaches = \frac{1429}{120}

Original number of peaches = 11\frac{109}{120}

Therefore the original number of peaches in the basket is \frac{1429}{120} or 11\frac{109}{120}
