Answer:
(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.
The random variable
.
The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

(a)
Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:
P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b)
The average deaths over 7 year period is: 
Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:

Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Answer:
x ≈ 15.0 ft
General Formulas and Concepts:

- tan∅ = opposite over adjacent
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Angle = 28°
Opposite leg of angle = 8 ft
Adjacent leg of angle = x ft
<u>Step 2: Find </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute: tan28° = 8/x
- Multiply <em>x </em>on both sides: xtan28° = 8
- Divide tan28° on both sides: x = 8/tan28°
- Evaluate: x = 15.0458
- Round: x ≈ 15.0 ft
