Answer:
1.60078105936
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. P(x = 0 | λ = 1.2) = 0.301
b. P(x ≥ 8 | λ = 1.2) = 0.000
c. P(x > 5 | λ = 1.2) = 0.002
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of defects per carton is Poisson distributed, with parameter 1.2 pens/carton, we can model the probability of k defects as:

a. What is the probability of selecting a carton and finding no defective pens?
This happens for k=0, so the probability is:

b. What is the probability of finding eight or more defective pens in a carton?
This can be calculated as one minus the probablity of having 7 or less defective pens.



c. Suppose a purchaser of these pens will quit buying from the company if a carton contains more than five defective pens. What is the probability that a carton contains more than five defective pens?
We can calculate this as we did the previous question, but for k=5.

Answer:
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of renting a truck from Company A can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company A)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=70
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.5×m)=0.5 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company A)=70+0.5 m...equation 1
2. The total cost of renting a truck from Company B can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company B)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=20
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.6×m)=0.6 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company B)=20+0.6 m...equation 2
Equating equation 1 to equation 2
70+0.5 m=20+0.6 m
0.6 m-0.5 m=70-20
0.1 m=50
m=50/0.1
m=500 miles
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
The Table is the greater unit rate!
