In analyzing hits by certain bombs in a war, an area was partitioned into 570 regions, each with an area of 0.75 km^ 2 . A total

of 535 bombs hit the combined area of 570 regions Assume that we want to find the probability that randomly selected region had exactly two hits the Poisson distribution formula

Answer:

0.1723 = 17.23% probability that randomly selected region had exactly two hits.

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.

535 bombs hit the combined area of 570 regions

This means that the mean number of hits per region is given by:

\mu = \frac{535}{570} = 0.9386

Find the probability that randomly selected region had exactly two hits

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\0.9386}*(0.9386)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1723

0.1723 = 17.23% probability that randomly selected region had exactly two hits.

Y = 5-3x, Darw the graph of the function. Use the find the value of y when x=4, and when x = 5​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The line passes through (4, -7) and (5, -10).

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 4, y = 5 - 3(4), or 5 - 12, or -7.  Thus the point (4, -7) lies on the graph.  Similarly y = 5 - 3(5) = -10 when x  = 5.  Thus, the line also goes through (5, -10).  Plot these two points and draw a line through them.  Doing this will result in the desired graph.

Explain the difference between solids that are polyhedra and solids that are not polyhedra.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

There are no gaps between the edges or vertices in a polyhedron. Examples of polyhedrons include a cube, prism, or pyramid. Non-polyhedrons are cones, spheres, and cylinders because they have sides that are not polygons.
