Huck and Jim are waiting for a raft. The number of rafts floating by over intervals of time is a Poisson process with a rate of

λ = 0.4 rafts per day. They agree in advance to let the first raft go and take the second one that comes along. What is the probability that they will have to wait more than a week? Hint: If they have to wait more than a week, what does that say about the number of rafts in a period of 7 days?

Answer: 0.0081

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of rafts.

Given : The mean number of rafts floating : \lambda=0.4 rafts per day .

Then , for 7 days the number of rafts = \lambda_1=\lambda\times 7=0.4\times7=2.8 rafts per day .

The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda_1}\lambda_1^x}{x!}

Now, the  probability that they will have to wait more than a week is given by :-

P(X>7)=1-P(X\leq7)\\\\=1-(P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7))\\\\=1-(\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{0}}{0!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{1}}{1!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{2}}{2!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{3}}{3!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{4}}{4!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{5}}{5!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{6}}{6!}+\dfrac{e^{-2.8}2.8^{7}}{7!})\\\\=1-0.991869258012=0.008130741988\approx0.0081

Hence, the required probability : 0.0081

Find a formula for the inverse of the function f(x)=3x^3 + 2sinx + 4cosx

Assign letters to all quantities that vary with time and any others that seem relevant to the problem. Give a definition for each letter.

2. Identify the rates of change that are known and the rate of change that is to be found. Interpret each rate as a derivative.

3. Find an equation that relates the variables whose rates of change were identified in Step 2. To do this, it will often be helpful to draw an appropriately labeled figure that illustrates the relationship.

4. Differentiate both sides of the equation obtained in Step 3 with respect to time to produce a relationship between the known rates of change and the unknown rate of change.

5. After completing Step 4, substitute all known values for the rates of change and the variables, and then solve for the unknown rate of change.</span>Local Linear Approximation formula<span>f(x) ≈ f(x₀) + f'(x₀)(x - x₀)
