Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe

d to be a very large number of planets that can be found this way, actually finding one takes time and luck; and finding one planet does not help at all with finding planets of other stars in the same part of the sky. Audrey is good at it, and finds one planet at a time, on average once every three months. a.) Find the expected value and

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284

This is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Metals

Explanation:

The group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity is known metals. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. The outer electrons in metals are loosely bound to the atom and are thus able to freely move around and conduct electricity and heat.

1. I think a drum would be the easiest instrument to explain. You can vary the pitch and loudness by hitting it with different intensities or at different points or angles.

PS. I'm not talking about a drumset. I'm talking about an ordinary drum.

2. Different types of instruments sound different even though they play the same notes because they use different mechanisms for producing sound.
