Answer:
a) The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.
b) 0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.
29,742 atoms decayed during 365 days, which means that:

The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.
b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
This is P(X = 50). So

0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
I assume that we are working in
, otherwise there is only one zero which is 1. Please consider the following.
First of all, <u>we can notice that 1 is a trivial solution</u> as

It means that (x-1) is a factor of p(x) so we can find two real numbers, a and b, so that we can write the following.

Let's identify like terms as below.
a-1 = -5 <=> a = -5 + 1 = -4
b-a = 33
-b = -29 <=> b = 29
So

Now, we need to find the zeroes of the second factor, meaning finding x so that:

Hope this helps.
