Answer: D. 0.1217

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a car will have a flat tire while driving through a certain tunnel :p=0.00005.

n= 14000

Then, the mean number of cars will have a flat tire while driving through a certain tunnel = np

=14000\times0.00005=0.7

Poisson Distribution Formula : P(x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!}

For x= 2

P(2)=\dfrac{e^{-0.7} (0.7)^2}{2!}=0.121663399429\approx0.1217

Hence, the required probability = 0.1217

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x
Stolb23 [73]
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)

The histogram displays different numbers of days that customers rented a car. Which interval represents the most common number o
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the histogram is not attached.

However, the solution to your question is to select the interval with the highest frequency

Take for instance, after getting readings from the histogram, yiu have:

1 - 10: 8

11 - 20: 5

21 - 30: 11

31 - 40: 2

And so on.......

Interval 11 - 20 will represent the required interval because it has the highest frequency.

Find all the solutions of sin x + cos x = 1 in the interval [0, 2pie).
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

X = 0,  π/2 in the interval  [0, 2pi).

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the auxiliary angle method:

R sin(x + a)  = Rsin x cos a + Rcos x sin a = 1

                        sin x         +    cos x             = 1

Comparing coefficients:

R cos a = 1 and R sin a =  1, so

tan a = R sin a / R cos a  = 1

So a = π/4 radians.

Also  R^2(sin^2 a + cos^2 a) =  1^2 + 1^2 = 2

Therefore R = √2.

So √2 sin (x +π/4 = 1

sin x + π/4 = 1/√2

x  + π/4 = π/4

x = 0 radians

Also

x = 0 +  π/2 = π/2.
