Geologists estimate the time since the most recent cooling of a mineral by counting the number of uranium fission tracks on the

Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (X = 7) is 0.1388.

(b) The value of P (X ≥ 3) is 0.9380.

(c) The value of P (2 < X < 7) is 0.5433.

(d) $\mu_{X}=6$

(e) $\sigma_{X}=2.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of uranium fission tracks on per cm² surface area of the mineral.

The average number of track per cm² surface area is, λ = 6.

The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 6.

The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0, 1, 2, 3...$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X = 7) as follows:

$P(X=6)=\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{7}}{7!}=\frac{0.0025\times 279936}{5040}=0.1388$

Thus, the value of P (X = 7) is 0.1388.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 3) as follows:

P (X ≥ 3) = 1 - P (X < 3)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2)

$=1-\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{1}}{1!}-\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{2}}{2!}\\=1-0.00248-0.01487-0.04462\\=0.93803\\\approx0.9380$

Thus, the value of P (X ≥ 3) is 0.9380.

(c)

Compute the value of P (2 < X < 7) as follows:

P (2 < X < 7) = P (X = 3) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

$=\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{3}}{3!}+\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{4}}{4!}+\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{5}}{5!}+\frac{e^{-6}(6)^{6}}{6!}\\=0.08924+0.13385+0.16062+0.16062\\=0.54433\\\approx0.5443$

Thus, the value of P (2 < X < 7) is 0.5433.

(d)

The mean of the Poisson distribution is:

$\mu_{X}=\lambda=6$

(e)

The standard deviation of the Poisson distribution is:

$\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{X}}=\sqrt{\lambda}=\sqrt{6}=2.4495\approx2.45$

Write the phrase as a numerical expression.

mariarad [96]

3. 8+5

4. 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3. for example : 5 more than the number means

x+5 so that's how we get the answer as 8+5

4. This can be explained in two folds firstly, for example: 2 less than the number means x-2.

secondly;7 times the number means 7x so therefore we get our final answer as 2x - 8

Marie purchased a $40.00 gift for a baby shower. She uses a coupon that offers 20% off. How much will Marie save by using the co

Wewaii [24]

To find out how much Marie will save you have to multiply the 20% with the original praise which is $40.00. So we’ll change the 20% to 0.20 to multiply it with 40.

0.20 x 40 = 8

So Marie will save $8.00 using the coupon

Two sides of a triangle are equal in length and double the length of the shortest side. The perimeter of the triangle is 36 inch

Lostsunrise [7]

To solve this, you can set up an equation. Make the length of the shortest side x, so the 2 sides double the length will equal 2x. Since they all equal the perimeter of 36, do x + 2x + 2x =36. These values all represent the sides(2 longer, one short). Combine like terms to get 5x=36 then divide by 5 to find the value of x. x=7.2in meaning the shorter side is 7.2 inches while the longer sides are both 14.4 inches each since they are double in size.
