Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Poisson distribution problem with the formula;

P(x;μ) = (e^(-μ)) × (μ^(x))/x!

We are told that the grocer sells three of a certain article per week. Thus;

μ = 3

Now, we want to find out How many of these should he have in stock so that the chance of his running out within a week is less than 0.01.

This means;

P(X > k) < 0.01

This can be rewritten as;

P(X ≤ k) < 0.99

Let's try x = 8

P(8;3) = (e^(-3)) × (3^(8))/8!

P(8;3) = 0.008

But; P(X ≤ 8) = 1 - 0.008 = 0.992

This is more than 0.99 and thus is not the answer

Let's try x = 7

P(7;3) = (e^(-3)) × (3^(7))/7!

P(7;3) = 0.022

But; P(X ≤ 7) = 1 - 0.022 = 0.978

Thus is less than 0.99.

Thus, stock should be 7

Please help me with this.A rectangular field is
Karolina [17]
First, let's get the perimeter of the rectangle:
P=2W+2L
P=130m+210m
P=340m
Then, let's get the area of the bigger one:
A=WL
A=65m*105m
A=6825m^2

Then let's try using a rectangle with a smaller ratio:
P=100m+240m
P=340m
Then:
A=50m*120m
A=6000m^2

If you used a square:
P=170+170
P=340
A=WL
A=85^2
A=7225

There you have it. A rectangle with a smaller area with the same perimeter.
What does it show? The smaller the difference you get from width and length, the larger the area is.
