7 minutes= 2 minutes x 3.5

The squirrel burrowed 6 holes in 2 minutes.
To find how many holes the squirrel burrows in 7 minutes we multiply 6 x 3.5= 21.

Alternate method:

If the squirrel burrows 6 holes in 2 minutes that means he has burrowed 3 holes in 1 minute.
Multiply the number of holes burrowed in 1 minute by 7 to get 21.

Answer:

21 holes

Step-by-step explanation:

6 holes/2 minutes = x/7 minutes (cross multiply)

(6*7)/2 = 42/2 = 21 holes

If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures every twenty weeks, calcul

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

3 failures every twenty weeks

This means that for 1 week, $\mu = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

Calculate the probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

Probability of at most one failure, so:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.8607$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.15}*0.15^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1291$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.8607 + 0.1291 = 0.9898$

0.9898 = 98.98% probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.

It can't be a whole number. It can be 1.5, or 1 1/2.
