Answer:

The probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 0.00052.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the following set of data or information or parameters given from the question above and they are; the number of people living in that particular society/community/town = 74,000 residents and the proportion of people that the diseases affected = .000215.

The first step to do is to determine the expected number of people with disease. Thus, the expected number of people with disease = 74,000 × .000215 = 15.91.

Hence, the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 1.23 × 10^-7 × 15.91^30/ 2.65253 × 10^-32 = 0.00052.

Note the formula used in the calculating the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness =  e^-λ × λ^x/ x!

"A rectangle has a height of 5 cm and its base is increasing at a rate" of 3/2 cm/min. When its area is 60 cm2, at what rate is
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The diagonal is increasing at the rate of 119/104cm/min of the given rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the rectangle

Height = 5cm

Rate of base = 3/2 cm/min

Area = 60cm^2

We know the area of a rectangle of given by = base* Height

b*h = 60

b*5 = 60

b = 12cm

Applying Pythagoras theorem while drawing a diagonal to the rectangle

  b^2 +h^2 =  D^2\\

 5^2 +12^2 = 13^2

so our diagonal will be 13cm  

Upon differentiating the area of the rectangle  we get

b*h = A=60cm^2

using  the chain rule of differentiation

h*db/dt + b*dh/dt  = 0

b*dh/dt = -h*db/dt

12*dh/dt = -5*3/2

dh/dt = -5/8 cm//min

so the height of the rectangle is decreasing at the rate of -5/8cm/min

now we have all the measurements we need

b = 12 , db/dt = 3/2cm/min

h = 5 , dh/dt = -5/8 cm/min

b^2 +h^2  = D^2

Upon differentiating we get

2b*db/dt + 2h*dh/dt = 2D*dD/dt

b*db/dt + h*dh/dt = D*dD/dt

12*3/2 + 5*(-5/8) = 13*dD/dt

18 -25/8 = 13*dD/dt

\frac{144-25}{8} = 13*dD/dt

dD/dt = \frac{119}{104} cm/min

Therefore the diagonal is increasing at the rate of 119/104cm/min of the given rectangle.
