Grasshoppers are distributed at random in a large field according to a Poisson process with parameter a 5 2 per square yard. 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?

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.

Answer:

mary=10 jack=15

Step-by-step explanation:

After 4 years Mary (x+4), Jack's age (x+5) + 4.

sum of the ages after 4 years :(x+4) + (x+5) +4=33 

Simplifying the equation:

2x+13 = 33 ----->> 2x=20----->>>>x = 10 Mary's age

10 + 5 = 15 which is Jack's age.

What is the value of the expression when n = 3?<br> GO<br> - 2 n(5 + n-8-3n)
lukranit [14]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

since n = 3

= -2n ( 5n+n-8-3n)

= -2 (3) ( 5+(3)-8-3(3) )

= -6 (5+3-8-9)

= -6 (5-5-9)

= -6 (-9)

= 54.
