Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We first take how much miles she goes and the hours and divide.

30 miles/10 hours= 3 miles/ per 1 hour

2. Now we take that and set up an equation to cross multiply

9/x=3/1

In 3 hours she would have gone 9 miles

The sutton police department must write, on average, 6 tickets a day to keep department revenues at budgeted levels. suppose the

lakkis [162]

The Poisson distribution defines the probability of k discrete and independent events occurring in a given time interval.
If λ = the average number of event occurring within the given interval, then
$P(k \, events) = e^{-\lambda } ( \frac{\lambda ^{k}}{k!} )$

For the given problem,
λ = 6.5, average number of tickets per day.
k = 6, the required number of tickets per day
The Poisson distribution is
$P(k \, tickets/day)=e^{-6.5} ( \frac{6.5 ^{k}}{k!} )$
The distribution is graphed as shown below.

Answer:
The mean is λ = 6.5 tickets per day, and it represents the expected number of tickets written per day.
The required value of k = 6 is less than the expected value, therefore the department's revenue target is met on an average basis.
