Answer:

firstly find the gradient given by the equation

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

in this case x1 is -12,x2 is -17, y1 is -8 and y2 is-16

m=-16+8/-17+12

=-8/-5 or1.6

then use the equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+8=1.6(x+12)

y+8=1.6x+19.2

y=1.6x+11.2

I hope this helps and sorry if it's wrong

g Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppos

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a) P(1) = 0.1637

b) $P(x\geq 2) = 0.0176$

c) E(x) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If X follows a poisson distribution, the probability that a disk has exactly x missing pulses is:

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

Where m is the mean and it is equal to the value of lambda. So, replacing the value of m by 0.2, we get that the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse is equal to:

$P(1)=\frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^1}{1!}=0.1637$
