Answer:

see description

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed). Notice that B is 5 horizontal units to the right of the y-axis, and B' is 5 horizontal units to the left of the y-axis.

No but it is true that the two equations are parallel.

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.

9. YOU BE THE TEACHER Your friend

Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it's reasonable.

What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?

You get it wrong?!!

But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.

Who knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.
