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.

The typical full-time employee in a particular hotel works a 40-hour week. Last month, the hotel's 80 employees worked a total o
Mila [183]

Answer: There are 25 FTEs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hour week for full time employee = 40 hours

In a month we know that

Number of weeks = 4

Total number of hours in a month would be

40\times 4\\\\=160\ hours

If in last month, the hotel's 80 employees worked a total of 4000 hours,

So, Full time equivalent workers were employed by the hotel last month would be

\dfrac{4000}{160}\\\\=25

Hence, there are 25 FTEs.

laura decides to walk to her job. she walks 1 1\2 miles in 3\5 hour. what is laura's walking rate? laura's job is 4 1\2 miles aw
Nuetrik [128]
To find the rate in miles per hour, divide the miles by the hours.

(1 1/2 miles)/(3/5 hour) =

= 3/2 miles * (5/3 hour)

= 5/2 mph

= 2 1/2 mph

Her walking rate is 2 1/2 mph.

(4 1/2 miles) / ( 2 1/2 mph) =

= 9/2 miles / (5/2 mph)

= 9/2 * 2/5 hours

= 9/5 hours

= 1 4/5 hours

From 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., she has 2 hours, but she only needs 1 4/5 hours to walk, so she will make it to work on time.
