Answer:

a) The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b) 0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\lambda is the mean in the given interval.

a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.

29,742 atoms decayed during 365 days, which means that:

\lambda = \frac{29742}{365} = 81.485

The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

This is P(X = 50). So

P(X = 50) = \frac{e^{-81.485}*(81.485)^{50}}{(50)!} = 0

0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Jade and Eliza went shopping at a mall. Jade spent $10 more than 5 times the amount that Eliza spent. Jade spent a total of $150
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money spent by Eliza's be represented as x

Five times amount Eliza spent = 5x and total amount spent by Jade is $150

So it will be $10+ 5x =$150

5x= 150- 10

5x= 140

x = 140÷5

x= 28

........................

So therefore Eliza's amount spent = $28 and

5x$28 = $140

Jade spent $10 more equals $10+$140= $150(Total money spent by Jade).

20, 17,16, 17, 18, 16, 18, 19<br><br>what is the mode of the data set?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

16,17 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics mode of a set of entries is the entry which is repeated maximum. There can be more than one mode in a set of entries. These are called mode,

Bimode ( two mode ) , trimode ( three mode ) and Multimode ( four or more ) .

Hence here our set of entries is,

20,17,16,17,18,16,18,19

arranging them in ascending order

16,16,17,17,18,18,19,20

hence  in this case we see that 16,17and 18 all are getting repeated for two times, the maximum.

Hence we have a trimode here

16,17,18

13. The length of a room is 4.5 feet longer than the width, w, of the room. Write an expression that represents the perimeter of
Naddik [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 4.5 + w

width = w

perimeter means add all of the 4 sides

(4.5 + w) + (4.5 + w) + w + w

9 + 4w = answer
