Answer:

0.8743 = 87.43% probability that more than one accident occurs per year

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Buchtal, a manufacturer of ceramic tiles, reports on average 3.1 job-related accidents per year.

This means that \mu = 3.1

What is the probability that more than one accident occurs per year?

This is:

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)

In which

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0273

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0984

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0273 + 0.0984 = 0.1257

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.1257 = 0.8743

0.8743 = 87.43% probability that more than one accident occurs per year

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$78.72

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 30% of the original value, we need to turn this percentage into a decimal or a fraction and then multiply it by the original value

  • 30% is equivalent to 0.30, \frac{30}{100}, and \frac{3}{10}
  • So we can use either of these values. I will use 0.30 for simplicity

  • ($262.40)(0.30) = $78.72 is the amount saved

How to find the area of each face of a prism
tatiyna

If the face is a square, then (l*l)

If the face is a triangle, then (b*h)(1/2)

If the face is a rectangle, then (l*w)

If the face is a circle, then (r²)(3.14)

You can then add all these faces up to get the total surface area of the prism.

Help please! make sure to tell me the answer and an explanation!
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

So since this is all about perimeter you just got to add the values together. So lets use 12 as the denominator for every fraction. 1/4 is equal to 3/12 and 2/3 is equal to 8/12. So in conclusion 3/12 plus 8/12 and 1/12 will equal 1 in total. and then add up all the whole numbers 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 will get you 10. So 10 is your answer.
