On Texas Avenue between University Drive and George Bush Drive, accidents occur according to a Poisson process at a rate of thre

e accidents per week. (a) What is the probability that a given day has no accidents? (b) Whenever there is an accident, the risk is 1 in 8 that personal injury will result. What is the probability that February (which has four weeks) has at least one accident with a personal injury?

Answer:

(a) The probability is 0.6514

(b) The probability is 0.7769

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of accidents occur according to a poisson process, the probability that x accidents occurs on a given day is:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}

Where a is the mean number of accidents per day and t is the number of days.

So, for part (a), a is equal to 3/7 and t is equal to 1 day, because there is a rate of 3 accidents every 7 days.

Then, the probability that a given day has no accidents is calculated as:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{x}}{x!}

P(0)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{0}}{0!}=0.6514

On the other hand the probability that February has at least one accident with a personal injury is calculated as:

P(x≥1)=1 - P(0)

Where P(0) is calculated as:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}

Where a is equivalent to (3/7)(1/8) because that is the mean number of accidents with personal injury per day, and t is equal to 28 because 4 weeks has 28 days, so:

P(x)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{x}}{x!}

P(0)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{0}}{0!}=0.2231

Finally, P(x≥1) is:

P(x≥1) = 1 - 0.2231 = 0.7769

Answer:

Option D, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A:  y = 4 doesn't work because that line would be horizontal

Option B:  y = 4x doesn't work because that would be diagnol

Option C:  x = -4 doesn't work because that would a vertical line at -4

<em>Option D:  x = 4 works because that would a vertical line at 4</em>

Find one positive angle and one negative angle that are coterminal with the given angle. Explain.
Setler [38]

Answer: 10) 615° & -105°

               12) -440° & 280°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Coterminal means it is in the exact same spot on the Unit Circle but one <em>or more </em>rotations clockwise <em>or counterclockwise.</em>

Since one rotation = 360°, add or subtract that from the given angle until you get a positive <em>or negative</em> number.

10) 255° + 360° = 615°     (this is a POSITIVE coterminal angle to 255°)

     255° - 360° = -105°     (this is a Negative coterminal angle to 255°)

12) -800° + 360° = -440°   (this is a Negative coterminal angle to -800°)

    -440° + 360° =  -80°      (this is a Negative coterminal angle to -800°)

      -80° + 360° = 280°     (this is a POSITIVE coterminal angle to -800°)
