The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page. If more than t

hree errors appear on a given page, the typist must retype the whole page. What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped

Answer:

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

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 interval.

Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page

This means that \mu = 3

What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?

Probability of at most 3 errors, so:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240

Then

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.6472

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

Hannah buys 2/3 pound of roast beef. She uses 1/4 pound to make sandwiches for lunch. How much roast beef does she have left?
Vanyuwa [196]
First we need to make both fractions equal to each other, and that means having to have the denominators the same.

What both 3 and 12 easily go into is 12.

So we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 12, so we multiply.

2/3 * 4/4 = 8 / 12

1/4 * 3/3 = 3 / 12

Now, we know that she has 8 / 12 pounds, and she uses 3 / 12 of it, so now we subtract to find how much she has left.

8 - 3 = 5

Out of the 12 pounds of roast beef, she now has 5 / 12 left.

Solve each system by elimination. substitution by multiplication
umka2103 [35]
M = 135/19 and n = -5/19

You have to give them like terms so that when you eliminate they cancel out and you can solve. The easiest way to do so is by multiplying the top equation by -4 and the bottom by 3.
