Answer:

Variance = 5

Standard deviation = 2.236

0.2650257

Step-by-step explanation:

For a Poisson distribution is σ² = μ.

Given that:

Mean , μ of bankruptcies files per hour = 5

μ = 5

For a Poisson distribution :

P(x = x) = (μ^x * e^-μ) / x!

The Variance and standard deviation :

Variance : σ² = μ = 5

Standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(5) = 2.236

B.) Find the probability that at most three businesses will file bankruptcy in any given hour.

P( x ≤ 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

P(x = 0) = (5^0 * e^-5) / 0! = 0.0067379

P(x = 1) = (5^1 * e^-5) / 1! = 0.0336897

P(x = 2) = (5^2 * e^-5) / 2! = 0.0842243

P(x = 3) = (5^3 * e^-5) / 3! = 0.1403738

0.0067379 + 0.0336897 + 0.0842243 + 0.1403738

= 0.2650257

The sum of two numbers is 90. the larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. find the numbers.
lana [24]

Answer:

32 and 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up equations.

The sum of two numbers (x and y) is 90: x + y = 90

The larger number (y) is 6 less than twice the smaller number (x): y = 2x - 6

We have our system of equations:

x + y = 90

y = 2x - 6

Let's use substitution.

Substitute y = 2x - 6 into the first equation.

x + y = 90

x + (2x - 6) = 90

Combine like terms.

x + 2x - 6 = 90

3x - 6 = 90

Add 6 to both sides to isolate x.

3x = 96

Divide both sides by 3 to further isolate x.

x = 32

Now that we know x, let's find y.

Plug in x = 32 into one of our original equations.

y = 2x - 6

y = 2(32) - 6

Multiply.

y = 64 - 6

y = 58

Now we have x = 32, y = 58.

Check your answer by plugging these values into one of our original equations.

x + y = 90

32 + 58 = 90

Add.

90 = 90

Your solution is correct.

Hope this helps!
