Answer:
The correct answer is:
Poisson (A.)
Step-by-step explanation:
A Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events occurring within a given time interval, when the average number of times that the event occurs within the time interval is given.
Lambda ( λ ) is a rate parameter in Poisson's distribution, and it is used to represent "event/time", and it simply represents <em>the expected number of events in the interval.</em>
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the polynomial that will result from expanding:
.
Recall that we can use the Pascal's triangle to obtain the coefficient as:
1 4 6 4 1
Also note how the negative sign is going to alternate.
The <em>power of x </em>will decrease from left to right while the <em>power of y</em> increases from left to right
The expansion then becomes:
.
===========================================================
Explanation:
Rule: If a set has n elements in it, then it will have 2^n subsets.
For example, there are n = 3 elements in the set {a,b,c}. This means there are 2^n = 2^3 = 8 subsets. The eight subsets are listed below.
Subsets 2 through 4 are subsets with exactly 2 elements. Subsets 5 through 7 are singletons (aka sets with 1 element). The last subset is the empty set which is a subset of any set. You could use the special symbol to indicate the empty set.

-------------------
The problem is asking what value of n will make 2^n = 64 true.
You could guess-and-check your way to see that 2^n = 64 has the solution n = 6.
Another approach is to follow these steps.
Which is fairly trivial.
Or you can use logarithms to solve for the exponent.
Due to rounding error, we don't land exactly on 6 even though we should.
