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

Answer:

A=34, G=31

Step-by-step explanation:

G=A-3

2G+A=99

plug in for g 2(A-3)+A=99

distribute 2 A-3+A=99

combine like terms 3A-3=99

solve for a 3A=102 A=34

plug in a solve for g G=34-3 G=31

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, calculate out the discriminant for each of the following equations. If the discriminant is a perfect square, then it can be factored.

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

The only of the equations that does not yield a perfect square is B. The work for it is done below for you.

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

Discriminant = 7^2 - 4(2)(-5)

Discriminant = 49 + 40

Discriminant = 89

Since 89 is not a perfect square, we cannot factor this.
