Answer:

a) 0.8088 = 80.88% probability that there are at most 2 typos on a page.

b) 0.0858 = 8.58% probability that there are exactly 10 typos in a 5-page paper.

c) 0.001 = 0.1% probability that there are exactly 2 typos on each page in a 5-page paper.

d) 0.717 = 71.7% probability that there is at least one page with no typos in a 5-page paper.

e) 0.2334 = 23.34% probability that there are exactly two pages with no typos in a 5-page paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The number of typos made by a student follows Poisson distribution with the rate of 1.5 typos per page.

This means that \mu = 1.5n, in which n is the number of pages.

(a) Find the probability that there are at most 2 typos on a page.

One page, which means that \mu = 1.5

This 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^{-1.5}*(1.5)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2231

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.5}*(1.5)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3347

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.5}*(1.5)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2510

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2231 + 0.3347 + 0.2510 = 0.8088

0.8088 = 80.88% probability that there are at most 2 typos on a page.

(b) Find the probability that there are exactly 10 typos in a 5-page paper.

5 pages, which means that n = 5, \mu = 5(1.5) = 7.5.

This is P(X = 10). So

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

P(X = 10) = \frac{e^{-7.5}*(7.5)^{10}}{(10)!} = 0.0858

0.0858 = 8.58% probability that there are exactly 10 typos in a 5-page paper.

(c) Find the probability that there are exactly 2 typos on each page in a 5-page paper.

Two typos on a page: 0.2510 probability.

Two typos on each of the 5 pages: (0.251)^5 = 0.001

0.001 = 0.1% probability that there are exactly 2 typos on each page in a 5-page paper.

(d) Find the probability that there is at least one page with no typos in a 5-page paper.

0.2231 probability that a page has no typo, so 1 - 0.2231 = 0.7769 probability that there is at least one typo in a page.

(0.7769)^5 = 0.283 probability that every page has at least one typo.

1 - 0.283 = 0.717 probability that there is at least one page with no typos in a 5-page paper.

(e) Find the probability that there are exactly two pages with no typos in a 5-page paper.

Here, we use the binomial distribution.

0.2231 probability that a page has no typo, so p = 0.02231

5 pages, so n = 5

We want P(X = 2). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.2231)^{2}.(0.7769)^{3} = 0.2334

0.2334 = 23.34% probability that there are exactly two pages with no typos in a 5-page paper.

What is the domain of the function y=x-1 ​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

All rational numbers or all numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a linear positive slope equation, which looks like the screenie below. Lines always travel forever, and since it is a linear line with a slope, it will be forever going in both directions.

Domain is the x-values that a function has, while range is the y-values.

Since the domain and range are infinite, it is all real numbers.

Hope this helps!
