Answer:

A. 1.2x = 78

B. x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Just informally, first:

x is the number that we don't know. 120% of that number is a number BIGGER than that number. 120% of x is 78. So 78 is BIGGER than the number that we don't know.

120% of x = 78

Change 120% to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. Multiply.

1.2x = 78

To solve, divide both sides by 1.2

x = 78/1.2

x = 65

Answer:

The measure of the arc CD = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the measure of the arc CD in degrees.

So, as shown at the graph

BE and AD are are diameters of circle P

And ∠APE is a right angle ⇒ ∠APE = 90°

So, BE⊥AD

And so, ∠BPE = 90° ⇒(1)

But it is given: ∠BPE = (33k-9)° ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

∴ 33k - 9 = 90

∴ 33k = 90 + 9 = 99

∴ k = 99/33 = 3

The measure of the arc CD = ∠CPD = 20k + 4

By substitution with k

∴ The measure of the arc CD = 20*3 + 4 = 60 + 4 = 64°

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

Zarrin [17]

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:

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