Wayne Gretsky scored a Poisson mean six number of points per game. sixty percent of these were goals and forty percent were assi

sts (each is worth one point). Suppose he is paid a bonus of 3K for a goal and 1K for an assist. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total revenue he earns per game. (b) What is the probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Answer:

a) The mean for the total revenue he earns per game is of 13.2K while the standard deviation is of 3.63K.

b) 0.05 = 5% probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Step-by-step explanation:

In hockey, a point is counted for each goal or assist of the player.

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. The standard deviation is the square root of the mean.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total revenue he earns per game.

60% of six are goals, which means that 60% of the time he earned 3K.

40% of six are goals, which means that 40% of the time he earned 1K.

The mean is:

\mu = 6*0.6*3 + 6*0.4*1 = 13.2

The standard deviation is:

\sigma = \sqrt{\mu} = \sqrt{13.2} = 3.63

The mean for the total revenue he earns per game is of 13.2K while the standard deviation is of 3.63K.

(b) What is the probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Goals and assists are independent of each other, which means that we find the probability P(A) of scoring four goals, the probability P(B) of getting two assists, and multiply them.

Probability of four goals:

60% of 6 are goals, which means that:

\mu = 6*0.6 = 3.6

The probability of scoring four goals is:

P(A) = P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.19122

Probability of two assists:

40% of 2 are assists, which means that:

\mu = 6*0.4 = 2.4

The probability of getting two assists is:

P(B) = P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2.4}*(2.4)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.26127

Probability of four goals and two assists:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.19122*0.26127 = 0.05

0.05 = 5% probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Solve In standard form y+1=2/3(×+4)
kondor19780726 [428]
Standard form is another way of saying slope-intercept form. The equation you have there is in point-slope form, so we must convert this to slope-intercept form to get our final answer.

In point-slope form (y - k = m(x - h)) k is the y-value, h is the x-value, and m is the slope. All we must do is change your equation's form into standard form, or slope-intercept form which looks like this: (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Convert this equation y + 1 = 2/3(x + 4) into standard/slope-intercept form.
y + 1 = 2/3(x + 4)
y + 1 = 2/3x + 2.666 Here we multiplied 2/3 by x and 4 since x + 4 is in parenthesis next to 2/3.
y + 1 - 1 = 2/3x + 2 2/3 - 1 Now we want to get y by itself so the form will look like y = mx + b, so we subtract the 1 from both sides of the equation. (2 2/3 is a mixed fraction that is equal to 2/3*4.)
y = 2/3x + 1 2/3

This is our final answer since it is in the standard, or slope-intercept form. Hope this made sense! If you have any questions please ask.

Wilbur sold half of his comic books and then bought fourteen more. he now has 24. how many did he begin with?
rosijanka [135]
First, subtract 24 - 14 to get how many books he had after he sold half of his collection and bought 14 more:

24 - 14 = 10

10 = number of books after he sold half of his collection.

Now, you need to multiply 10 x 2, because you need to find the original number of comic books:

10 x 2 = 20

He originally had 20 comic books.

An equation you could use for this question is:

2(24 - 14) = x. (X = number of comic books)

Hope this helps!!

A line has a slope of 1/4 and passes through .0.41 -1/2 what is the value of the Y intercept
MrMuchimi

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. The problem states that it passes through (.41, -1/2) which means the y intercept is -1/2. I'm not sure if the - is a dash or negative sign but either way you now know what the y intercept is.
