Answer:
(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.
The random variable 
.
The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:
P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)
Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b)
The average deaths over 7 year period is: 
Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:
Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Okay, so you know that the perimeter of the pen is 28 feet. Now we need the separate side lengths.
P = 28 ft.
Length = x
Width = (1/2)x + 2
So now we can plug in the little equations of length and width into a perimeter formula:
2(x) + 2((1/2)x + 2) = 28
Distribute the 2's and solve as needed.
2x + x + 4 = 28
3x + 4 = 28
3x = 24
x = 8
To find the width, just plug in 8 for x in our little equation:
(1/2)(8) + 2
= 6
So, the length is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet.
Answer:
<h3> C. y + 7 = -7(x - 3)</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is:
y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>(x₀, y₀)</em> is the point which the line passes through
The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1
so if given lines slope is ¹/₇ them:
¹/₇·m = -1
m = -7
(3, -7) ⇒ x₀ = 3, y₀ = -7
Therefore:
y - (-7) = -7(x - 3)
<u> </u><u>y + 7 = -7(x - 3) </u>
