It has been observed that the average number of traffic accidents requiring medical assistance on the Hollywood Freeway between

7 and 8 a.m. on Wednesdays is 1. An ambulance can only service one accident requiring medical assistance at a time. The hospital dispatcher needs to know the chance there will be a need for exactly 2 ambulances on the Hollywood Freeway between 7 and 8 a.m. on Wednesdays. What will you, the statistics consultant hired by the hospital, tell the dispatcher

Answer:

0.184

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statistician consultant, I would have to calculate the chance of having 2 ambulances on the freeway at this hours and relay the message to the dispatcher.

Probability of having the need for 2 ambulances.

We will have a poisson distribution:

Lambda = 1

P(x=2) = e^-2*1/2!

= 2.71828^-1/2

= 0.368/2

= 0.184

I would tell the dispatch rider that the possibility that 2 ambulances would be required is 0.184.

Thank you

The weights of bags of ready-to-eat salad are normally distributed with a mean of 290 grams and a standard deviation of 10 grams
pentagon [3]
290-10=280

280 is one standard deviation below.
All that are above mean is 50%.
One standard deviation below is 34%.
50%+34%=84%  all of these bags weigh more than 280 g.
So,
100%-84%=16%  should be bags that are less than 280 g.

Answer is b) 16 %.

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t
7nadin3 [17]

To solve this problem, we can use the tan function to find for the distances covered.

tan θ = o / a

Where,

θ = angle = 90° - angle of depression

o = side opposite to the angle = distance of boat from lighthouse

a = side adjacent to the angle = height of lighthouse = 200 ft

When the angle of depression is 16°18', the initial distance from the lighthouse is:

o = 200 tan (90° - 16°18')

o = 683.95 ft

When the angle of depression is 48°51', the final distance from the lighthouse is:

o = 200 tan (90° - 48°51')

o = 174.78 ft

 

Therefore the total distance the boat travelled is:

d = 683.95 ft - 174.78 ft

<span>d = 509.17 ft</span>
