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

Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm By 8:09 pm, he has covered a distance of 7250 mWhat was Joshua's average speed during that tim
vivado [14]

The average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.

Explanation:

It is given that Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm. By 8:09 pm he has covered a distance of 7250 m.

The total time taken by Joshua from 5:15 pm to 8:09 pm is

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+\frac{54}{60} {h}

Dividing we get,

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+0.9 {h}

Adding, we have,

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2.9 {h}

Thus, the total time taken by Joshua is 2.9 {h}

To determine the average speed we use the formula,

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

where distance=7250 and time=2.9

Hence, substituting the values we have,

speed=\frac{7250}{2.9}

Dividing, we get,

speed=2500

Thus, the average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.

Ten times a number increased by eighty four equals 194. what is the number
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+84=194

10x = "10 times a number"

+84 = "increased by eighty four"

=194 = "equals 194"

10x+84=194

Subtract 84

10x = 110

Divide by 10

x = 11

Variable termes X-12-3X+22
adell [148]

Answer: x + 12 = 3x + -22

12 + x = 3x + -22

Reorder the terms:

12 + x = -22 + 3x

Solving

12 + x = -22 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

12 + x + -3x = -22 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x

12 + -2x = -22 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

12 + -2x = -22 + 0

12 + -2x = -22

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + -2x = -22 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + -2x = -22 + -12

-2x = -22 + -12

Combine like terms: -22 + -12 = -34

-2x = -34

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 17

Simplifying

x = 17
