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 measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170". What is the measure of the
levacccp [35]

The measure of the  largest exterior angle of hexagon is 105

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170".  

We have to find what is the measure of the largest exterior angle?  

Now let us find the 6th interior angle,  

We know that, sum of interior angles of hexagon = 720 degrees

115 + 125 + 85 + 150 + 170 + 6th angle = 720

645 + 6th angle = 720  

6th angle = 720 – 645  

6th angle = 75 degrees

Now we have to find the largest exterior angle, we know that, the complement of largest exterior angle will be smallest interior angle.

So, here smallest interior angle is 75  

sum of interior and exterior angle equals to 180

Hence interior angle + exterior angle =180

Then, 75 + exterior angle = 180  

Exterior angle = 180 – 75 = 105.  

Hence, exterior angle is 105 and 1st option is correct.

The average price of a gallon of gas increased by 12% in 2010 and by 10% in 2011. By what percentage did the average price of a
Leto [7]

Answer:

16.67% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

finding the percentage price increase

we need to find the difference in percentage price between the 2 years

12%-10% = 2%

2%/12% x 100% = 100%/6 = 16.67%

20% increase between January 1st 2010 and January 1st 2011

A cylinder has a radius of 8 meters and a height of 4 meters. .
Novay_Z [31]
<h2><u>Solution</u> :-</h2>

Given : Radius of cylinder = 8 m

Height = 4 m

Volume of cylinder = πr²h cu. units

= 22/7 × 8 × 8 × 4 m³

= 804.57 m³ (approx.)

Curved surface area = 2πrh sq. units

= 2 × 22/7 × 8 × 4 m²

= 201.14 m² (approx.)

Total surface area = 2πr(r + h) sq. units

= 2 × 22/7 × 8 (8 + 4) m²

= 2 × 22/7 × 8 × 12 m²

= 603.43 (approx.)
