Answer:

Arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic refers to addition and subtraction. Geometric refers to multiplication and division.

In this instance, the sequence has a common difference of 3 (3 is added as the sequence continues).

It took the carriage 2.5 hours to travel 20 miles. H ow long will it take for the carriage to travel in 12 miles

Tomtit [17]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
hours&miles\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2.5&20\\
h&12
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.5}{h}=\cfrac{20}{12}\implies \cfrac{2.5\cdot 12}{20}=h$

In Bangor it’s -3 F in Fairbanks it’s -12 F in Fargo it’s -8 F and in Calgary it’s -15 F in which city is to the coldest?

jonny [76]

Answer:

Calgary is the coldest

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple way to determine this will be to change the value of temperatures given in Fahrenheit to Celsius

32 F = 0°C

Formula to apply will be (T-32)×5/9 -------------where T is temperatures in Fahrenheit

Bangor is -3F-------------------change to Celsius

(-3-32)×5/9 =-35 × 5/9 = -19.44°C

Fairbanks is -12 ------------------------change to Celsius

(-12-32)×5/9 = -44 × 5/9 = -24.44°C

Fargo is -8 F ---------------------Change to Celsius

(-8-32)×5/9= -40×5/9 = -22.22°C

Calgary is -15 F-------------------------Change to Celsius

(-15-32)×5/9 = -47×5/9 = -26.11°C--------------coldest

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 6.9 per year. a. Find t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) 9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b) 4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.

c) The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.

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 time interval.

6.9 per year.

This means that $\mu = 6.9$

a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

This is P(X = 4).

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

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-6.9}*(6.9)^{4}}{(4)!}$

$P(X = 4) = 0.0952$

9.52% probability that, in a year, there will be 4 hurricanes.

b. In a 45-year period, how many years are expected to have 4 hurricanes?

For each year, the probability is 0.0952.

Multiplying by 45

45*0.0952 = 4.284.

4.284 years are expected to have 4 hurricanes.

c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 45 years in which 4 years had 4 hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?

The value of 4 is very close to the expected value of 4.284, so the Poisson distribution works well here.
