White paint = 2/3 * 17 = 11.33 liters , 11.33*2.10 = $23.8

blue paint = 1/3 * 17 = 5.66 liters, 5.66*1.50 = $8.5

Total cost = 23.8+8.5 = 32.30 euros

If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures every twenty weeks, calcul

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

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.

3 failures every twenty weeks

This means that for 1 week, $\mu = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

Calculate the probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Probability of at most one failure, so:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Then

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.8607$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1291$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.8607 + 0.1291 = 0.9898$

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

What is the value of x in the following equation, x/4 = -120? (Btw, it's x over 4 not division :)

Sergio039 [100]

If you mean by x over 4 that it is fraction then there is no different between it and divisions
x/4 = -120
x = -120 × 4 ( when division goes to the other side of equal it turns into multiplication)
x = -480

A. -480

I need help on how to do combinations

Veronika [31]

Ok sure! Let's start with the marbles first. We have one red one blue and one green. There is a red and a blue cube. All we do is list the possible combinations of one marble and one cube. The answer would be : 1 blue marble, 1 blue cube. 1 red marble, 1 blue cube. 1 green marble, 1 blue cube. Then again but with the red cube. So in all, there are 6 possible combinations. Hope this helps. ☺️
