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.

Buffy just put some money into a CD that pays 10.1% interest, compounded monthly. According to the rule of 72, in approximately
quester [9]
Let the principal be 'x' then the Amount will be 4x.

As the interest is compounded monthly:

Rate of interest = 10.1 % = 10.1/(100*12) = 0.101/12 

Time = 12t

Amount = Principal[1 + Rate/100]

⇒ 4x = x[1 + 0.101/12]¹²t

⇒ 4x/x [1 + 0.008416667]¹²t

⇒ 4 = [1.008416667]¹²t

⇒ log(4) = log[1.008416667]¹²t

⇒ 0.602059991327 = [0.003640014891]¹²t

⇒ 12t = 0.602059991327/0.003640014891

⇒ 12t = 165.400419876

⇒ t = 165.400419876/12

t = 13.78 years  or 13 years 9 months.

So, it is about 13 years 9 months she will have 4 times the amount of money.

maria [59]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option 1 (All Montana residents).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Barry Beach told journalists managed to gather next to the front main entrance of Montana federal penitentiary across lunchtime that perhaps the point in time seemed to be 'surreal.'
  • A news broadcast in Bozeman was desperately trying to find out how and why individuals in Montana perceive and say about the official launch of Beach. It certainly indicates 'All Montana Residents' seems to be the group of people of benefit after that.

Other choices aren't linked to just the scenario in question. Option 1 seems to be the perfect solution.
