Answer:

{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.

In this question:

First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So

Second term: 8*3 = 24

Third term: 24*3 = 72

Fourth term: 72*3 = 216

Fifth term: 216*3 = 648

So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of si

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a) P(x=3)=0.089

b) P(x≥3)=0.938

c) 1.5 arrivals

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time (in hours), then random variable X is the number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room.

The variable X is modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of λ=6.

The probability of exactly k arrivals in a particular hour can be written as:

$P(x=k)=\lambda^{k} \cdot e^{-\lambda}/k!\\\\P(x=k)=6^k\cdot e^{-6}/k!$

a) The probability that exactly 3 arrivals occur during a particular hour is:

$P(x=3)=6^{3} \cdot e^{-6}/3!=216*0.0025/6=0.089\\\\$

b) The probability that <em>at least</em> 3 people arrive during a particular hour is:

$P(x\geq3)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)]\\\\\\P(0)=6^{0} \cdot e^{-6}/0!=1*0.0025/1=0.002\\\\P(1)=6^{1} \cdot e^{-6}/1!=6*0.0025/1=0.015\\\\P(2)=6^{2} \cdot e^{-6}/2!=36*0.0025/2=0.045\\\\\\P(x\geq3)=1-[0.002+0.015+0.045]=1-0.062=0.938$
