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

Anastasy [175]
Distance is the formula : 

DAB = \sqrt{(xA - xB)^2  + (yA - yB)^2}
 
so 

\sqrt{(-1 - 11)^2 + (-3 + 8)^2}

= 13 

Answer is C)
