On average, Nancy has noticed that 20 trucks pass by her apartment daily (24 hours). In order to find the probability that more

than 6 trucks will pass her apartment in a 6-hour time period using the Poisson distribution, find the average number of trucks per 6 hours. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.

Answer: Our required probability is 0.384.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In  24 hours,

λ = 20

In 6 hours,

\lambda=\dfrac{20}{24}\times 6=\dfrac{20}{4}=5

As we know that it is a Poisson distribution.

E[X] = λ  = 5

Probability that more than 6 trucks will pass her apartment is given by

P(X>6)=\sum_{x=6}^{20}\dfrac{e^{-5}\times 5^x}{x!}=0.384

Hence, our required probability is 0.384.

3/4 less or greater <br> than 4/12
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

4/12 simplified is 1/3

3/4 > 1/3

Or, imagine this:

There are 2 pies, watermelons, pizzas, cookies, whatever fits you. One is cut into 4 pieces and the other into 3. You take the one with 4 pieces and your friend take the one with 3. When you finish, there is only 1 quarter left. However, your friend didn't even finish half. Of course, you ate more.

Weird example but who cares...

I think it would be a 1 in 6 chance for 1 time so I would assume for 2 times it would be a 2 in 12 chance (1/6, 2/12)
