Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose

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)
b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses? (Round to four decimal places)
c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a 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

Jeremy has $120 in his saving account. Katie had $180 in her account. Each week Jeremy adds $14.00 to his account and Katie adds
valkas [14]

Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of weeks = x.

At the end of x weeks,

Jeremy has 120 + 14x,

and Katie has 180 + 10x

We want to know when their amounts are equal.

120 + 14x = 180 + 10x

4x = 60

x = 15

Answer: 15 weeks

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

90, there are 32 ninetys in 32 X 90 and there are 33 ninetys in 33 X 90, meaning there is one more 90 in 33 X 90 than 32 X 90

14. BUS TRIP A bus leaves at 10 A.M. to take students on a field trip to a
k0ka [10]

The bus is 54.5 miles far from the site at the time of 11:30A.M as per the given information in the question.

<h3>What is the slope of a line?</h3>

The slope of a line indicates how steep it is. Slope is defined mathematically as "climb over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

It is assumed that a bus moving at a constant speed departs at 10 a.m. towards a historic location, is 100 miles away by 10:25 a.m., and is 65 miles away at 11:15 a.m.

We must create a point-slope equation that connects the distance from the place to the time in minutes after 10:00 a.m. Then, around 11:30 a.m., we need to figure out how far the bus is from the site.

A line's point-slope is y₂-y₁)=m(x₂-x₁)

Since x denotes the amount of minutes after 10:00 a.m., 10:25 a.m. is represented by x=25 and 11:15 a.m. by x=75.

At 10:25 a.m., a distance of 100 miles from the place is represented by 75.

The point represents a distance of 100 miles from the site at 10:25 a.m. The point represents a distance of 65 miles from the site at 11:15 a.m.

By substituting the points (25, 100) and (75, 65) into the slope formula and simplifying we get,

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

m=(65-100)/(75-25)

m=-35/50

m=-0.7

Now choose one of the points and substitute that point and the slope into the slope-point form

y₋y₁=m(x-x₁)

By choosing (x₁, y₁)=(25, 100)

By choosing (x₂, y₂)=(75, 65)

Since 11:30 A,M is 90 minutes after 10:00A.M

By substituting x=90 in the equation we get the value of y,

y-100= -0.7(90-25)

y-100= -0.7(65)

y-100 =-45.5

y= 54.5

Hence, the bus is 54.5 miles from the site at the time of 11:30 A.M

y-100= -0.7(x-25)

OR

y-65= -0.7(x-75)

The bus is 54.5 miles from the site at 11:30A.M.
