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

ve 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:

0.61596

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

λ = 5 (5 errors per page)

Poisson distribution formula :

P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!

Probability that page does not need to be retyped means that error on page is less than or equal to 5

P(x ≤ 5) = p(x = 5) + p(x = 4) +... + p(x = 0)

The individual probabilities can be obtained using the formula above or the use of a calculator

P(x ≤ 5) = 0.17547 + 0.17547 + 0.14037 + 0.08422 + 0.03369 + 0.00674

P(x ≤ 5) = 0.61596

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y = 1/40x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept equation format:

y = mx + b

m = slope/ gradient/ constant of variation/ rate of change

b = y-intercept

To find the slope, use the formula:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Find two random points:

1 - (0.5, 40) , 2 - (1, 60)

Plug in:

$\frac{60-40}{1-0.5}$

Solve:

$\frac{20}{0.5}$

Divide:

$\frac{1}{40}$

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is equal to 0.

The y-intercept is always the beginning.

So observing the graph, the first point is (0, 20)

The x-coordinate is 0.

Y intercept = 20.

Plug in both slope and y-intercept:

y = 1/40x + 20

Help needed on this composition math problem

Marrrta [24]

Given that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x and the application of <em>function</em> operators, f ° g (x) = 1/(1 - 3 · x) and the domain of the <em>resulting</em> function is any <em>real</em> number except x = 1/3.

<h3>How to analyze a composed function</h3>

Let be f and g functions. Composition is a <em>binary function</em> operation where the <em>variable</em> of the <em>former</em> function (f) is substituted by the <em>latter</em> function (g). If we know that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x, then the <em>composed</em> function is:

$f\,\circ\,g \,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1}{x}-3}$

$f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1-3\cdot x}{x} }$

$f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{1}{1-3\cdot x}$

The domain of the function is the set of x-values such that f ° g (x) exists. In the case of <em>rational</em> functions of the form p(x)/q(x), the domain is the set of x-values such that q(x) ≠ 0. Thus, the domain of f ° g (x) is $\mathbb{R} - \{\frac{1}{3} \}$ .

Write a paragraph comparing the two classes' semester grades. Be sure to compare the extremes, the quartiles, the medians, and t

NISA [10]

Answer:

Class second have higher score and have greater spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

For first box plot

$\text{Minimum value }= 53$

$Q_1=62$

$Median=80$

$Q_3=86$

$\text{Maximum value }= 89$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-53=36$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=86-62=24$

For second box plot

$\text{Minimum value }= 56$

$Q_1=62$

$Median=74$

$Q_3=89$

$\text{Maximum value }= 96$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=96-56=40$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=89-62=27$

First class has greater minimum value, it means first class has lower grades.

First quartile of both classes are same, it means equal number students in both classes have less than 62 marks.

First class has greater median.

second class has greater third quartile.

Second class has greater Maximum value. It means second class have higher score than first class.

Second class has greater range. It means the data of second class has greater spread.

Second class has greater inter quartile range. It means the data of second class has greater spread.

Therefore, the class second have higher score and have greater spread.
