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

Determine the type and number of solutions of −4x2 − 3x + 7 = 0.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the discriminant for this. If the quadratic is -4x^2-3x+7, then

a = -4, b = -3, and c = 7. The formula for finding the discriminant is

D=b^2-4ac which comes from the quadratic formula, but without the square root sign. Filling in:

D=(-3)^2-4(-4)(7) which simplifies down to

D = 9 + 112 so

D = 121. This is a perfect square, so the solutions will be 2 real. Just so you know, you will NEVER have a solution like the one offered in the third choice down. If you have one imaginary root, you will ALWAYS have a second by the conjugate rule.

sally can paint a room in 3 hours while it takes steve 8 hours to paint the same room. how long would it take them to paint the
svp [43]

Answer:

2 hours 11 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Each hour Sally can paint 1/3 rooms, Steve can paint 1/8 rooms.

If they work together, each hour they can paint 1/3 + 1/8 = 11/24 rooms.

So They will take 1/(11/24) = 24/11 = 2.18 hours to paint a whole room.

2.18 hours = 2 hours 0.18*60 minutes

0.18 * 60 = 11

Answer: 2 hours 11 minutes
