Answer:

18.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Percentage who rode bus to work last year = x

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = 27.1%

Percentage who ride bus to work this year = [percentage who rode bus to work last year + 47% of percentage who rode bus to work last year]

Mathematically ;

27.1% = x + 47% of x

0.271 = x + (0.47x)

0.271 = x + 0.47x

0.271 = 1.47x

x = 0.271 / 1.47

x = 0.1843537

x = 0.1843537 * 100%

x = 18.435%

x = 18.44%

Answer:

The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information,

Number of rocket hits     |    Observed number of regions

0                                       |                       228

1                                        |                       214

2                                       |                        94

3                                       |                        32

4                                       |                         7

5                                       |                        0

6                                       |                        0

7                                       |                         1

We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.

The mean or expected value is given by

\mu = \sum (x \cdot P(x)) \\\\\mu = (0 \cdot 228) + (1 \cdot 214) + (2 \cdot 94) + (3 \cdot 32) + (4 \cdot 7) + (5 \cdot 0) + (6 \cdot 0) + (7 \cdot 1) \\\\\mu = 0 + 214 +188+ 96 +28 +0+ 0 + 7 \\\\\mu = 533

Therefore, the mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.
