The Poisson distribution defines the probability of k discrete and independent events occurring in a given time interval.
If λ = the average number of event occurring within the given interval, then
P(k \, events) = e^{-\lambda } ( \frac{\lambda ^{k}}{k!} )

For the given problem,
λ = 6.5, average number of tickets per day.
k = 6, the required number of tickets per day
The Poisson distribution is
P(k \, tickets/day)=e^{-6.5} ( \frac{6.5 ^{k}}{k!} )
The distribution is graphed as shown below.

Answer: 
The mean is λ = 6.5 tickets per day, and it represents the expected number of tickets written per day.
The required value of k = 6 is less than the expected value, therefore the department's revenue target is met on an average basis.

rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, point O, then a reflection across the x-axis reflection across the y-a
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The point O can be (x,y)  or (-x,y) or (-x,-y) or ( x,-y) reason being that you haven't given point O lies in which quadrant.

Rotation through 90° counter clockwise

(x,y) = (-y,x)

(-x,y)=(-y,-x)

(-x,-y)=(y,-x)

(x,-y) =(y,x)

Then Reflection across X axis has taken place.

(-y,x) = (-y,-x)

(-y,-x)=(-y,x)

(y,-x)=(y,x)

(y,x)=(y,-x)

Then a reflection across the y-axis has taken place.

(-y,-x)=(y,-x)

(-y,x) = (y,x)

(y,x) =(-y,x)

(y,-x)=(-y,-x)

Then a translation a units to the right and b units up has taken place.

(y,-x)=(y+a,-x+b)

(y,x) =(y+a, x+b)

(-y,x) =(-y+a,x+b)

(-y,-x)=(-y+a,-x+b)

Then a rotation of 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin has taken place.

(y+a,-x+b)=[-(y+a),-(-x+b)]

(y+a, x+b)=[- (y+a), -(x+b)]

(-y+a,x+b)=[-(-y+a),-(x+b)]

(-y+a,-x+b) =[-(-y+a),-(-x+b)]

Now Again a reflection across the Y axis has taken place.

[-(y+a),-(-x+b)]=[(y+a),-(-x+b)]

[-(y+a),-(x+b)]=[(y+a),-(-x+b)]

[-(-y+a),-(x+b)]=[(-y+a),-(x+b)]

[-(-y+a),-(-x+b)]=[(-y+a),-(-x+b)]

Totally depends on value of a and b on which quadrant these point lies.
