Answer: Is this for math?

The result of a random experiment will be called an outcome, and combination of outcomes will be termed as event, i.e. An Event is a one or more outcome of an experiment.

For example: Whenever we do an experiment like rolling a die, we get an outcome, i.e. if we roll a die we get an outcome of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

An event is a set of outcomes. The event of rolling an even number with a die is the set.

{2, 4, 6}.

Also, We call the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment the sample space, and the sample space for the experiment of rolling a die is

A light bulb filament is one-hundredth of an inch thick, with an allowable error of 2 percent. What is the least allowable thick

Andreyy89

Answer:

0.00998 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness of the light bulb filament = 0.01 Inch

Allowable error = 2%.

2% of 0.01 = 0.02 X 0.01 =0.0002 Inch

Therefore, the allowable thickness of the bulb filament

$=0.01 \pm 0.0002 $ Inches$

We can then calculate the least allowable thickness of the filament as:

$=0.01 - 0.0002 \\=0.00998$ Inches$

The least allowable thickness of the filament is 0.00998 Inches.

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of aircraft accidents is 9 per month. Find P(0), the prob

Ugo [173]

Answer: 0.0001

It is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean number of aircraft accidents = 9 per month

The Poisson distribution formula :-

$\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$ , where $\lambda$ is the mean of the distribution.

If X = the number of aircraft accidents per month, then the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents will be :-

$\dfrac{e^{-9}(9)^0}{0!}=0.000123409804087\approx0.0001$

Hence, the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents = 0.0001

Since this is less than 0.5 , therefor it is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .
