Answer:

length = 104/3 ft

width = 40/3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

L = length

w = width

Set up equations:

L = 8 + 2w
2L + 2w = 96

Substitute L with the first bullet point equation:

2L + 2w = 96

2(8 + 2w) + 2w = 96

16 + 4w + 2w = 96

16 + 6w = 96

6w = 80

w = 40/3 ft

Find L now that you have the value of the width:

L = 8 + 2w

L = 8 + 2(40/3)

L = 8 + 80/3

L = 104/3 ft

Final Values:

length = 104/3 ft

width = 40/3 ft

Grasshoppers are distributed at random in a large field according to a Poisson process with parameter a 5 2 per square yard. How

HACTEHA [7]

In this question, the Poisson distribution is used.

Poisson distribution:

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.

Parameter of 5.2 per square yard:

This means that $\mu = 5.2r$ , in which r is the radius.

How large should the radius R of a circular sampling region be taken so that the probability of finding at least one in the region equals 0.99?

We want:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 0.99$

Thus:

$P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01$

We have that:

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.2r}*(5.2r)^{0}}{(0)!} = e^{-5.2r}$

Then

$e^{-5.2r} = 0.01$

$\ln{e^{-5.2r}} = \ln{0.01}$

$-5.2r = \ln{0.01}$

$r = -\frac{\ln{0.01}}{5.2}$

$r = 0.89$

Thus, the radius should be of at least 0.89.

234 students in 9 different classrooms. What is the ratio of students to classrooms?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

26 students per classroom

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, the ratio 234 students:9 classrooms must be converted to:

s students:1 classroom

To convert the ratio, 9 was divided by 9 to get 1, and so you must also divide 234 by 9 to maintain the same ratio, which gives us the answer:

26 students: 1 classroom
