Answer:

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the mean during a time-period, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

A service center receives an average of 0.6 customer complaints per hour.

This means that \mu = 0.6h, in which h is the number of hours.

Determine the probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

8 hours means that h = 8, \mu = 0.6(8) = 4.8.

The probability is P(X = 4).

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

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.18203

0.18203 = 18.203% probability that exactly four complaints will be received during the next eight hours.

How many significant figures are in the number 123.97​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

5 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Any first number than starts with > 0, it is counted as significant figures and with 0 in the middle of number, also will be counted. But if the first number is 0, you have to skip to the next number.

e.g

0.0567 = 3s.f

1.542 = 4s.f

0.0000012 = 2s.f

1200586 = 7s.f

87000000002 = 11s.f
