In this question, the Poisson distribution is used.

Poisson distribution:

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.

Parameter of 5.2 per square yard:

This means that \mu = 5.2r, in which r is the radius.

How large should the radius R of a circular sampling region be taken so that the probability of finding at least one in the region equals 0.99?

We want:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.99

Thus:

P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

We have that:

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.2r}*(5.2r)^{0}}{(0)!} = e^{-5.2r}

Then

e^{-5.2r} = 0.01

\ln{e^{-5.2r}} = \ln{0.01}

-5.2r = \ln{0.01}

r = -\frac{\ln{0.01}}{5.2}

r = 0.89

Thus, the radius should be of at least 0.89.

Which statements about 12 ÷ 7 are true? Use the array to answer the question. Check all that apply.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The remainder is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

12 Divided by 7 equals 12 over 7 or 1.714285. 7 can only go into 12, one time. if we subtract 7 from 12 we get 5 which is the remainder. There is no way it can be 2 because 7 plus 2 equals 9. 1 x 7 + 5 equals 12 which isn't 1.714285. 2 x 7 + 4 equals 18 which also isn't 1.714285. Same with 2 x 5 + 5. That equals 15 which isn't 1.714285.

Willis tower in Chicago is 1450 feet tall. The John Hancock Center in Chicago is 1127 feet tall. Suppose you are asked to build
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Small Scale replica of John Hancock tower is approximately 2.33 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of Willis tower = 1450 ft

Height of John Hancock Center = 1127 ft

Small Scale replica of Willis tower = 3 m

We need to find Small Scale replica of John Hancock tower.

First we will find the per meter scale of Willis tower and then using the same we will use to find the Small Scale replica height of John Hancock tower.

For 3 meter scaling = 1450 ft

So for 1 meter scaling = Number of foots in 1 meter Scaling

By Using Unitary method we get;

Number of foots in 1 meter Scaling = \frac{1450}{3} = 483.333 \ ft

Now we had 1 meter scaling as 483.333 ft and we need to find meter scaling for 1127.

So again Using Unitary method we get;

Small Scale replica of John Hancock = \frac{1127}{483.333} = 2.331 \ m

Rounding to nearest hundred we get;

Small Scale replica of John Hancock tower is approximately 2.33 m.
