This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An insurance company determines that the number of claims received in a week follows a Poisson distribution. The probability that the insurance company receives at most one claim in a week is 5/13 times the probability that the insurance company receives at most two claims in a week.

Calculate the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week.

Answer:

the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week is 0.1954

Step-by-step explanation:

P(at most one claim) = P(X ≤ 1)

and

P(at most two claims) = P(X ≤ 2)

for P(X ≤ 1) = (5/13) × P(X ≤ 2)  

P(X ≤ 1 ) = (5/13) × (P(X ≤ 1) + P(X = 2))

(8/13) × P(X ≤ 1) = (5/13) × P(X = 2)

8 × ( e^(-λ) λ⁰ / 0! + e^(-λ)λ₁/1! ) = 5 × (e^(-λ)λ²/2!

16( 1 + λ ) = 5 × λ²

5 × λ²- 16 × λ - 16 = 0

λ = 4

Therefore the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week is P(X = 4) =e⁻⁴4⁴/4! = 0.1954

Answer:

A. (3, 8) and 2\sqrt{2}

B. (2, 4) and 2\sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula: (\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2})

Distance formula: \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^2+(y_{2}-y_{1}) ^2 }

A. plug in the points in the formulas

(4, 7) and (2, 9)

Midpoint:

(\frac{4 + 2}{2} , \frac{7+9}{2} )=6/2, 16/2 = (3,8)

Length:

\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(9-7)^2}=\sqrt{4+4} =\sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2}

B.

(5, 5) and (-1, 3)

Midpoint:

(\frac{5-1}{2} , \frac{5+3}{2} )=4/2,8/2=(2,4)

Length:

\sqrt{(-1-5)^2+(3-5)^2} =\sqrt{-6^2+-2^2} =\sqrt{36+4} =\sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}

Can you consider marking my answers as brainliest lol it would mean a lot. Hope this helped.
