The number of students who enroll in a psychology course is a Poisson random variable with mean 105. The professor in charge of

the course has decided that if the number enrolling is 119 or more, the course will be taught in two sections, whereas if fewer than 119 students enroll, the students will be all taught together in a single section. What is the probability that the professor will have to teach two sections?

Answer:

The answer is "0.096".

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the X is a number of the students who enroll in a psycholog y course, follows a Poisson distribution with mean $= \lambda= 105$

$\therefore P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-105} 105^{x}}{x!},(x=0,1,2,3.....)\\\\\to p(teach\ two \ sections) = P(X \geq 119)\\\\=1-P(X$

If u, v, and w are nonzero vectors in r 2 , is w a linear combination of u and v?

Tju [1.3M]

Not necessarily. $\mathbf u$ and $\mathbf v$ may be linearly dependent, so that their span forms a subspace of $\mathbb R^2$ that does not contain every vector in $\mathbb R^2$ .

For example, we could have $\mathbf u=(0,1)$ and $\mathbf v=(0,-1)$ . Any vector $\mathbf w$ of the form $(r,0)$ , where $r\neq0$ , is impossible to obtain as a linear combination of these $\mathbf u$ and $\mathbf v$ , since

$c_1\mathbf u+c_2\mathbf v=(0,c_1)+(0,-c_2)=(0,c_1-c_2)\neq(r,0)$

unless $r=0$ and $c_1=c_2$ .

Find an equation of the circle whose diameter has endpoints (1,-4) and (-3,6).

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$(x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=58$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this circle, we must know the center and the radius.

We can find the radius by dividing the value of the distance formula by 2 (since $r=\frac{d}{2}$ ):

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(6-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{116}\\r=d/2=\frac{\sqrt{116}}{2}$

We can then find the center of the circle by averaging the coordinates:

$\frac{1+(-3)}{2}=-1$

$\frac{-4+6}{2}=1$

Then, we substitute these values into the equation of a circle:

$(x-(-1))^2+(y-1)^2=(\frac{\sqrt{116}}{2})^2\\(x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=58$

Which values for x make this inequality true?<br><br> −15x+4≤39

Left to Right

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Inequality

-15x + 4 ≤ 39

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 4 on both sides: -15x ≤ 35

Divide -15 on both sides: x ≥ -7/3

Here we see that any value x greater than or equal to -7/3 would work as a solution to the inequality.

6 = a/4 + 2<br><br> What’s the answer for the variable a?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = a/4 + 2

4 = a/4 Subtract 2 from both sides

16 = a Multiply 4 to both sides
