Answer:

The inverse function of f(x) is ... f⁻¹(x) = log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054)

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting equation... f(x) = 9.16(1.0054)ˣ

Visually rewritten... y = 9.16(1.0054)ˣ

Flipping x and y... x = 9.16(1.0054)ʸ

Isolating (1.0054)ʸ... x/9.16 = (1.0054)ʸ

Taking the log of both sides... log (x/9.16) = y log (1.0054)

Isolating y... log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054) = y

Solution... y = log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054)

The Poisson distribution defines the probability of k discrete and independent events occurring in a given time interval.
If λ = the average number of event occurring within the given interval, then
$P(k \, events) = e^{-\lambda } ( \frac{\lambda ^{k}}{k!} )$

For the given problem,
λ = 6.5, average number of tickets per day.
k = 6, the required number of tickets per day
The Poisson distribution is
$P(k \, tickets/day)=e^{-6.5} ( \frac{6.5 ^{k}}{k!} )$
The distribution is graphed as shown below.

Answer:
The mean is λ = 6.5 tickets per day, and it represents the expected number of tickets written per day.
The required value of k = 6 is less than the expected value, therefore the department's revenue target is met on an average basis.
