Suppose that 4% of a population has a virus. You test 1064 people. You wish to find the probability that 45 of the people in the

sample have the virus. Use the Poisson distribution and the formula μ=np from the Binomial distribution to approximate this probability.

Suiting at 6 a.m., cars, buses, and motorcycles arrive at a highway loll booth according to independent Poisson processes. Cars

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

the rate of the cars = $\dfrac{1}{5} \ car / min = 0.2 \ car /min$

the rate of the buses = $\dfrac{1}{10} \ bus / min = 0.1 \ bus /min$

the rate of motorcycle = $\dfrac{1}{30} \ motorcycle / min = 0.0333 \ motorcycle /min$

The probability of any event at a given time t can be expressed as:

$P(event \ (x) \ in \ time \ (t)\ min) = \dfrac{e^{-rate \times t}\times (rate \times t)^x}{x!}$

∴

(a)

$P(2 \ car \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.20\times 20}\times (0.2 \times 20)^2}{2!}$

$P(2 \ car \ in \ 20 \ min) =0.1465$

$P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 20}\times (0.0333 \times 20)^1}{1!}$

$P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.3422$

$P ( 0 \ buses \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.1\times 20}\times (0.1 \times 20)^0}{0!}$

$P ( 0 \ buses \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.1353$

Thus;

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.1465 × 0.3422 × 0.1353

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.0068

(b)

the rate of the total vehicles = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.0333 = 0.3333

the rate of vehicles with exact change = rate of total vehicles × P(exact change)

$= 0.3333 \times \dfrac{1}{4}$

= 0.0833

∴

$P(zero \ exact \ change \ in \ 10 minutes) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0833\times 10}\times (0.0833 \times 10)^0}{0!}$

P(zero exact change in 10 minutes) = 0.4347

c)

The probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third motorcycle is:

$P( 4 \ motorcyles \ in \ 45 \ minutes) =\dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 45}\times (0.0333 \times 45)^4}{4!}$

$P( 4 \ motorcyles \ in \ 45 \ minutes) =0.0469$

Thus; the probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third one is = 0.0469

d)

P(at least one other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

= 1 - P(no other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

The 3rd car arrives at 15 minutes

The 4th car arrives at 20 minutes

The interval between the two = 5 minutes

<u>For Bus:</u>

P(no other vehicle other vehicle arrives within 5 minutes is)

= $\dfrac{6}{12} = 0.5$

<u>For motorcycle:</u>

$= \dfrac{2 }{12} = \dfrac{1 }{6}$

∴

The required probability = $1 - \Bigg ( \dfrac{e^{-0.5 \times 0.5^0}}{0!} \times \dfrac{e^{-1/6}\times (1/6)^0}{0!} \Bigg)$

= 1- 0.5134

= 0.4866

I need this answer as soon as possible will give brain thing

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: X=5 so whats 3 + 5? easy, 8. so now you know the bottom is eight and since it's a rectangle the top is also 8. And the left side is 15 so we know the right side is also 15. To find the perimeter you add all the sides of which in this case it would be 8 + 8 + 15 + 15. or (8 times 2) + (15 times 2). = 46 the answer is 46
