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.

A semi- circle has an area of 35cm . What is its diameter?
patriot [66]

Answer:

<h2>Area Semicircle = 1/2 πr² </h2>

where

r radius of semicircle

→ ½ * 22/7 * r² = 35

→ 11/7 * r² = 35

→ r² = 35*7/11

→ r² = 245/11

→ r² = 22.77

→ r = √22.77

→ r = 4.77

Therefore,

Diameter = 2*4.77

= 9.54 cm
