Grasshoppers are distributed at random in a large field according to a Poisson process with parameter a 5 2 per square yard. How

HACTEHA [7]

In this question, the Poisson distribution is used.

Poisson distribution:

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.

Parameter of 5.2 per square yard:

This means that $\mu = 5.2r$ , in which r is the radius.

How large should the radius R of a circular sampling region be taken so that the probability of finding at least one in the region equals 0.99?

We want:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.99$

Thus:

$P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01$

We have that:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.2r}*(5.2r)^{0}}{(0)!} = e^{-5.2r}$

Then

$e^{-5.2r} = 0.01$

$\ln{e^{-5.2r}} = \ln{0.01}$

$-5.2r = \ln{0.01}$

$r = -\frac{\ln{0.01}}{5.2}$

$r = 0.89$

Thus, the radius should be of at least 0.89.

Ahmad’s father is 4 times as old as Ahmad. After 5 years, father will be three times as old as Ahmad. Find their present ages

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The present age of Ahmed and Ahmed's father is 12 and 36 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ahmed's father is thrice as old as Ahmed. After 12 years, his age will be twice that of his son.

To Find : Their present age ?

Solution :

Let the Ahmed's age be 'x'.

Ahmed's father is thrice as old as Ahmed.

i.e. Ahmed's father age is '3x'

After 12 years, his age will be twice that of his son.

i.e. 3x+12 = 2(x+12)3x+12=2(x+12)

Solving the equation,

3x+12 = 2x+243x+12=2x+24

x=12x=12

So, Ahmed's age is 12.

Ahmed's father age is 3\times 12=363×12=36

Therefore, The present age of Ahmed and Ahmed's father is 12 and 36 respectively.

An arch has the equation y=-2/81x^2+18. Find it’s maximum height

Andrew [12]

Answer:

at y = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An arch has the equation y=-2/81x^2+18. Find it’s maximum height

This is a parabolic function

Maximum at the vertex

x = -0/(2*(2/81)) = 0

max at y = 18 units

(02.02 LC)<br> If g(x) = x2 – 4, find g(5)

never [62]

g(5) means we substitute every x in the equation with a 5.

g(5) = (5)^2 - 4.

g(5) = 21.
