Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.1 per year.

1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

Answer:

a) 0.172 probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b) The expected number of years with 4 hurricanes is 7.7.

c) 7 years is close to the expected value of 7.7, which means that the Poisson distribution works well here.

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.

The mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.1 per year.

This means that \mu = 5.1

a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

This is P(X = 4).

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

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-5.1}*(5.1)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.172

0.172 probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?

Each year, 0.172 probability of 4 hurricanes. So for 45 years, the mean is 45*0.172 = 7.7.

The expected number of years with 4 hurricanes is 7.7.

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 7 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?

7 years is close to the expected value of 7.7, which means that the Poisson distribution works well here.

Let T:R²->R² be a linear transformation ,and assume that T (1,2)=(-1,1) and T(1,-1)=(2,3)
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

(-4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given T(1,2)=(-1,1) and T(1,-1)=(2,3) and T is a linear transformation.

This implies for scalars a and b that

T(a(1,2)+b(-1,1))=aT(1,2)+bT(-1,1)

T((a,2a)+(-b,b))=a(-1,1)+b(2,3)

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a,a)+(2b,3b)

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a+2b,a+3b)

This means we should be able to solve the system below to find a and b for T(3,3):

a-b=3 and 2a+b=3

Add equations to eliminate b and solve for a:

3a=6

Divide 3 on both sides:

a=2

If a-b=3 and a=2, then b=-1.

Plug in a=2, b=-1:

T((a-b,2a+b))=(-a+2b,a+3b)

T((2--1,2×2+-1)=(-2+2×-1,2+3×-1)

T(3,3)=(-4,-1).

Fred works as a gardener. He charges at least $15 to drive to a residence and
Amanda [17]

We are required to find an inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c

The inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c is c ≥ 15 + 12g

At least means greater than or equal to (≥)

fixed charge = $15

charges per hour = $12

Total charge = c

Number of hours = g

The inequality:

<em>Total charge ≥ fixed charge + (charges per hour × Number of hours</em>

c ≥ 15 + (12 × g)

c ≥ 15 + (12g)

c ≥ 15 + 12g

Therefore, the inequality which best represents the relationship between the number of hours gardening g and the total charge c is c ≥ 15 + 12g

drug sniffing dogs must be 95% accurate in their responses because their handlers don't want them to miss durgs and also don't w
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval:  (0.8449,0.9951)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 50

Number of times the dog is right, x = 46

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{46}{50} = 0.92

95% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

Putting the values, we get:

0.92 \pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.92(1-0.92)}{50}})\\\\ = 0.92\pm 0.0751\\\\=(0.8449,0.9951)

(0.8449,0.9951) is the required 95% confidence interval for the proportion of times the dog will be correct.
