Mean for each hour = 1
Mean for four hours, m = 4

P(x,m)=m^x*e^(-m)/x!
where x is number of defects.

P(X<=3,4)
=P(X=0,4)+P(X=1,4)+P(X=2,4)+P(X=3,4)
=0.01832+0.07326+0.14653+0.19537
=0.43355

Probability of at most 3 defects in four hours is 0.43355

The function f has the property that f(x)=f(x+1) for all numbers x. If f(4)=17, what is the value of f(8)?
Natalija [7]
If the condition holds true, then:
f(4) = f(5)
f(5) = f(6)
f(6) = f(7)
f(7) = f(8)

Thus,
f(4) = f(8)

f(8) = 17

A nurse at a local hospital is interested in estimating the birth weight of infants. how large a sample must she select if she d
enyata [817]
For large sample confidence intervals about the mean you have: 

xBar ± z * sx / sqrt(n) 

where xBar is the sample mean z is the zscore for having α% of the data in the tails, i.e., P( |Z| > z) = α sx is the sample standard deviation n is the sample size
 
We need only to concern ourselves with the error term of the CI, In order to find the sample size needed for a confidence interval of a given size.

z * sx / sqrt(n) = width. 

so the z-score for the confidence interval of .98 is the value of z such that 0.01 is in each tail of the distribution. z = 2.326348 

The equation we need to solve is:
z * sx / sqrt(n) = width 
n = (z * sx / width) ^ 2. 
n = ( 2.326348 * 6 / 3 ) ^ 2 
n = 21.64758 

Since n must be integer valued we need to take the ceiling of this solution.
n = 22
