Assuming a Poisson Distribution then probability it receives "k" calls is:
P(x=k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}
where \lambda = 4, k =5

Answer: The probability it will receive 5 calls on a given that is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The average number of phone inquires per day at the poison control centre = 4

So, λ = 4

Number of calls received on a given day = 5

so, k = 5

We will use "Poisson Distribution" to find the probability that it will receive 5 calls on a given day.

So, it will be written as

P(X=k)=\dfrac{\lambda^k.e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\\\\P(X=5)=\dfrac{4^5\times e^{-4}}{5!}\\\\P(X=5)=0.15

Hence, the probability it will receive 5 calls on a given that is 0.15.

Sketch one cycle of the cosine function y= cos 2θ
Liula [17]
Based on function transformations, the graph of y= cos(2θ), is the same as the graph of <span>y= cos(θ), with a component B of 2, in which case, it means the period is the only thing that differs

well the period for this function will then be  </span>\bf \cfrac{2\pi }{B}\iff \cfrac{2\pi }{2}\implies \pi

so, the graph of is, the same as y= cos(θ), just shrunk by half horizontally

Use mulipation to find 2 equivalent fractions
laila [671]
1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 because,

2(1/2) = 2/4 

So as you can see if you multiply the numerator(top) and the denominator(bottom) by the same number, you get an equivalent fraction! In my example you can see that I multiplied both by 2.

How do i calculate percent accuracy? I got 20 questions out of 21 correct but I need to figure out the percent accuracy for anot
Mandarinka [93]
You need to do 20 divide by 21 to get a decimal. Then if you multiply the decimal by hundred you should get the percentage.
