What equation can I make out of this problem

In 1898 L. J. Bortkiewicz published a book entitled The Law of Small Numbers. He used data collected over 20 years to show that

Answer:

(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.

The random variable $X\sim Poisson(\lambda = 0.62)$ .

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,...$

(a)

Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{1}}{1!}\\=1-0.54335-0.33144\\=0.12521\\\approx0.1252$

Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b)

The average deaths over 7 year period is: $\lambda=7\times0.62=4.34$

Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-4.34}(4.34)^{0}}{0!}=0.01304\approx0.0130$

Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Solve for B. A= 7/8(B+C) PLS HELP ITS TIMED

ehidna [41]

Answer:

8/7A - C = B

Step-by-step explanation:

A= 7/8(B+C)

Multiply both sides by 8/7

8/7A = B + C

Subtract C

8/7A - C = B

The diagram shows a scale drawing of a playground the scale of the drawing is 1:500 work out the perimeter of the real playgroun

liraira [26]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question plus diagram is presented in the attached image to this solution.

From the attached image, the dimensions of the playground drawn will be a bit variable now as zooming and some editing might have tampered with the original intended dimensions to be measured.

But still, let us assume that on measuring the rectangular playground shown, we obtain approximately that the length is 4.5 cm and the breadth is 2 cm.

The scale to convert to real life is 1;500 indicating that

1 cm on the drawing = 500 cm lenght units of the real playground.

So,

4.5 cm on the drawing = 4.5 × 500 = 2250 cm of the playground

2 cm on the drawing = 2 × 500 = 1000 cm of the playground.

Hence, the real life dimensions of the playground is 2250 cm by 1000 cm.

In meters, that is 2.25 m by 1 m

The perimeter of a rectangular figure is given as

Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)

= 2(2.25 + 1)

= 6.5 m

Hope this Helps!!!

CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME??? giving brainliest!!! AREA!

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Second option. "Sue wants to cover the lid of a box with paper. How much paper should she buy?"

Explanation:

The first option relies upon volume.

The last two options relies on side lengths.

The second option is relies on area because you have to calculate the area of the lid to know how much paper can be used to cover it.

What is the slope of the line y = 3?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

Since it is parallel to the x- axis then slope = 0
