Mathematics
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a term in the sequence multiply the previous term by r , then

a₄ = - 8 , so

a₅ = - 8 × 0.5 = - 4

a₆ = - 4 × 0.5 = - 2

In one town, the number of burglaries in a week has a poisson distribution with a mean of 1.9. find the probability that in a ra
tester [92]

Let X be the number of burglaries in a week. X follows Poisson distribution with mean of 1.9

We have to find the probability that in a randomly selected week the number of burglaries is at least three.

P(X ≥ 3 ) = P(X =3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + ........

= 1 - P(X < 3)

= 1 - [ P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)]

The Poisson probability at X=k is given by

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Using this formula probability of X=2,1,0 with mean = 1.9 is

P(X=2) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{2}}{2!}

P(X=2) = \frac{0.1495 * 3.61}{2}

P(X=2) = 0.2698

P(X=1) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{1}}{1!}

P(X=1) = \frac{0.1495 * 1.9}{1}

P(X=1) = 0.2841

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-1.9} 1.9^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.1495 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.1495

The probability that at least three will become

P(X ≥ 3 ) = 1 - [ P(X=2) + P(X=1) + P(X=0)]

= 1 - [0.2698 + 0.2841 + 0.1495]

= 1 - 0.7034

P(X ≥ 3 ) = 0.2966

The probability that in a randomly selected week the number of burglaries is at least three is 0.2966

58 is the difference of Janelle's height and 24.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Janelle's height is 82 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent Janelle's height.

It is mentioned that, 58 is the difference between Janelle's height and 24.

Mathematically, we can write it as :

j-24 = 58

We can solve it as follows :

Adding 24 both sides,

j-24+24 = 58+24

j = 82

Hence, Janelle's height is 82 units.

What is the annual interest rate is 1=$160.67, p=$2000, t=8 months
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Please use " i " to denote "interest."

the formula for simple interest is i = p r t.

Here, i = $160.67 = $2000 (r) (8/12)


Solving for the interest rate, r = ($169.67)(12/8)/ $2000 = 0.127, or 12.7%
