Answer:

13a² - 39a + 46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find g(a-2)+3g(2a), find each part using the function g(x)=x²-5x+8.

g(a-2) = (a-2)²-5(a-2)+8 = a² - 4a + 4-5a + 10+8 = a² - 9a + 22

3g(2a) = 3{(2a)²-5(2a)+8} = 3{ 4a² - 10a + 8} = 12a² - 30a + 24

Combine the values to find g(a-2)+3g(2a).

g(a-2)+3g(2a) = (a² - 9a + 22) + (12a² - 30a + 24) = 13a² - 39a + 46

The number of people arriving at a ballpark is random, with a Poisson distributed arrival. If the mean number of arrivals is 10,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

b) 58.31% probability that there are no more than 10 arrivals.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 time interval.

If the mean number of arrivals is 10

This means that $\mu = 10$

(a) that there will be exactly 15 arrivals?

This is P(X = 15). So

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

$P(X = 15) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{15}}{(15)!} = 0.0347$

3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

(b) no more than 10 arrivals?

This is $P(X \leq 10)$

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.000045$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00045$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0023$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0076$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0189$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0378$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0631$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0901$

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1126$

$P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.1251$

$P(X = 10) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{10}}{(10)!} = 0.1251$

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000045 + 0.00045 + 0.0023 + 0.0076 + 0.0189 + 0.0378 + 0.0631 + 0.0901 + 0.1126 + 0.1251 + 0.1251 = 0.5831$

58.31% probability that there are no more than 10 arrivals.

the length of a rectangle is 2 inches less than 3 times it width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 124 inch. WHat is the lengt

vitfil [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

let w = width

length = 3w-2

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

perimeter = 2(3w-2) + 2w

perimeter = 6w - 4 + 2w

perimeter = 8w - 4

perimeter = 124 inch

8w - 4 = 124inch

8w = 128inch

<em>divide each side by 8</em>

w = 16

length = 3w-2

= 3(16) - 2

length = 46 inch

KIM [24]

To find the area of a circle, you do π × diameter (in this case 10). They have told you to use 3.142 as π, so you do 3.142 × 10 = 31.42. Because it's a semi-circle, you need to halve 31.42 to get 16.21, which is the answer
