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.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

An undefined slope means that the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis.

A vertical line has equal x- coordinates of the points it passes through.

The only pair where the x- coordinates are equal are

(- 3, - 3) and (- 3, 3) ← undefined slope → C

A recipe requires 1/4 lb of onions to make 3 servings of soup. Mark has 1 1/2 lb of onions. How many servings can Mark make?
Oxana [17]
⓵ You have to do a cross product in order to find your answer :

1/4 lb → 3 servings
1 ½ lb → × servings

(3 x 1 ½) ÷ 1/4 = (3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25

⓶ Now you need to solve the equation :

(3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25

↓

(4,5) ÷ 0,25

↓

4,5 ÷ 0,25 = 18

Which means that your final answer is that Mark can make 18 servings with 1 ½ lb of onions!

Use the commutative property to simplify the expression 4/3 + 3/4 + 2/3
saw5 [17]

The simplified expression using  the commutative property is : \frac{6}{3} + \frac{3}{4}

<h3>Meaning of commutative property</h3>

commutative property can be defined as a mathematics attribute that is possessed by a mathematical equation, that enables the objects undergoing addition or multiplication to change position.

In conclusion, The simplified expression using  the commutative property is : \frac{6}{3} + \frac{3}{4}

<h3>Analysis</h3>

4/3 + 3/4 + 2/3 =  ( \frac{4}{3} +  \frac{2}{3} ) +  \frac{3}{4}  =   \frac{6}{3} + \frac{3}{4}

How to find cp if loss and sp are given​
velikii [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

\tt{ \: H \: E \: Y \: \:  T \: H \: E \: R\: E \: } !

When Loss and Selling price ( SP ) are given , Cost price ( CP ) can be found out using the following formulae :

✰ \large{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{CP = Loss + SP}}}}

\text{How \: did\: we \:get  \:the \: formula :  \: CP \:  = Loss \:  +  \: SP} \: ?

We simply derived the formula from Loss = CP - SP.

First , Swap the sides of the equation :

⟶ \text{CP - SP = Loss}

Move SP to right hand side and change it's sign :

⟶\text{CP = Loss + SP}

This is how , CP can be obtained when we are given loss and SP.

Hope I helped ! ♡

Have a wonderful day / night ! ツ
