Answer:

Carl

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 weeks in a year, and Carl reads 3 books a week, so he reads 3*52= 156 books a year. There are 12 months in a year, and Rose reads 6 books a month, so Rose reads 6*12=72 books a year. Carl reads the most books

The probability that a rental car will be stolen is. 4. if 3500 cars are rented, what is the approximate poisson probability tha

kozerog [31]

Using the Poisson distribution, there is a 0.8335 = 83.35% probability that 2 or fewer will be stolen.

<h3>What is the Poisson distribution?</h3>

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

The probability that a rental car will be stolen is 0.0004, hence, for 3500 cars, the mean is:

$\mu = 3500 \times 0.0004 = 1.4$

The probability that 2 or fewer cars will be stolen is:

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

In which:

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2466$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3452$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.4}1.4^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2417$

Then:

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2466 + 0.3452 + 0.2417 = 0.8335$

0.8335 = 83.35% probability that 2 or fewer will be stolen.

Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2 5/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container

The amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup is calculated as:

3 2/3 - 1 1/4

= 3 - 1 + ( 2/3 - 1/4)

LCD = Lowest Common Denominator is 12

= 2 + (4 × 2 - 3 × 1/12)

= 2 + (8 - 3/12)

= 2 + 5/12

= 2 5/12 cups

Hence, the amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup = 2 5/12 cups of juice

What is the inverse of h?

Paha777 [63]

H(x) = 6x + 1

turn h(x) into y

y = 6x + 1

switch the x and the y

x = 6y + 1

solve for y

6y = x - 1
y = 1/6x - 1/6
y = 1/6(x - 1)

now stick the inverse notation in for y....h -1(x)

h-1(x) = 1/6(x - 1).....I think I did that right

How do you measure the diameter of four steel rods and than compare the measurement? Thank you!

enyata [817]

The answer is B. 0.25 inch. Lets multiply all of them by the same factor. Since A. and B. have 3 decimals, lets divide all numbers by 1000: A. 0.026 * 1000 = 26, B. 0.25 * 1000 = 250, C. 0.24 * 1000 = 240, D. 0.025 * 1000 = 25. So, by comparing the whole numbers, it can be concluded that the biggest steel rod is B. 0.25 inch.
