Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is \mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

where;

q_o = initial height of Monique's son

\hat q = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr

\hat q =  \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr

Then; from the equation q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o

q_o = 34\  inches

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34

Then:

Making t the subject;

q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t

t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)

and the age of the son  i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.

Answer:

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = x` = 5

The Poisson distribution formula  is given by

P(X) = e-ˣ` x`ˣ/ x!

The mean is 5 and the X takes the values 0,1,2,and 3 which means 3 or fewer, so we add the probability of all the values of X to get the desired Value of X.

P(3 or fewer ) = e-⁵ (5)³/3!+  e-⁵ (5)²/2! +e-⁵ (5)/1!+e-⁵ (5)⁰/0!

Putting the Values

P (3 or fewer) = 0.006737 . 125 / 6 + 0.006737 . 25 / 2 +0.006737 . 5 / 1 + 0.006737 . 1 / 1

P (3 or fewer) = 0.140374 + 0.08422+ 0.03369 +0.006737

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650
