The number of bacterial colonies of a certain type in samples of polluted water has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3 per cubic centimeter (cm3). (a) If eight 1 cm3 samples are independently selected from this water, find the probability that at least one sample will contain one or more bacterial colonies. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 1 Correct: Your answer is correct. seenKey 1.000 (b) How many 1 cm3 samples should be selected in order to have a probability of approximately 0.95 of seeing at least one bacterial colony

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1 = 100% probability that at least one sample will contain one or more bacterial colonies.

b) 1 sample should be selected in order to have a probability of approximately 0.95 of seeing at least one bacterial colony

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the poisson and the binomial distributions.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a single sample having at least one bacterial colonies.

Poisson distribution with a mean of 3 per cubic centimeter (cm3), which means that [tex]\mu = 3[/tex]

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0495[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0495 = 0.9505[/tex]

(a) If eight 1 cm3 samples are independently selected from this water, find the probability that at least one sample will contain one or more bacterial colonies.

Multiples samples means that the binomial distribution is used.

0.9505 probability of a sample having at least one colony, which means that [tex]p = 0.9505[/tex]

8 samples means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.9505)^{0}.(0.0495)^{8} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0 = 1[/tex]

1 = 100% probability that at least one sample will contain one or more bacterial colonies.

(b) How many 1 cm3 samples should be selected in order to have a probability of approximately 0.95 of seeing at least one bacterial colony

We have to find [tex]P(X \geq 1)[/tex] for samples of 1,2,3,..., until this probability is 0.95. So

n = 1

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{1,0}.(0.9505)^{0}.(0.0495)^{1} = 0.0495[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0495 = 0.9505[/tex]

0.9505 > 0.95

1 sample should be selected in order to have a probability of approximately 0.95 of seeing at least one bacterial colony

Answers

Answer:

11/55

Step-by-step explanation:

11/55 = 20%

18% = 18%

Answer:

11/55 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

18% is less because divided by 100 it will be 0.18 and if you multiply 11/55 the answer is 0.20

A water balloon was launched into the top of the hill 38 feet above the ground

Answers

Answer: -71.104 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:So you need to know how fast the balloon is moving when it hits this person's head. velocity is based on time. So you need the time that it hits this person's head. You can get time from the position equation. Because the balloon hits this person's head 6 feet from the ground, you know that the final position is at 6 so you plug that into the position equation and solve for t. You look and see what the appropriate t value is and plug it into the velocity equation and see what the answer is.

6=-16t^2+40t+60

0=-16t^2+40t+54

plug in those values into the quadratic formula or your calculator and you get:

t = -.972

or

t = 3.472

since you can't have negative time, the other answer must be it.

So you then plug it in and solve.

v(3.472) = -32(3.472) + 40

which is approximately -71.104 ft/sec

or if they just want speed, 71.104 ft/sec. (remember, speed is velocity without direction)

Solve for Y in the equation (5y-29) + (3y+19) = 180

Answers

Answer:

A - they are vertical angles so they are equal to each other

b - dont really know this one

c - y=24 and 7 and 8 = 89

Step-by-step explanation:

You messed up because the angles given are not supplementary the angles given that are next to 7 and 8 are vertical then we can setup an equation which would be 5y-29=3y+19 and solve for y

step 1 add 29 to each side

5y=3y+48

step 2 subtract each side by 3y

2y=48

step 3 divide each side by 2

y=24

then we plug in 24 to one of the expressions

5(24)=120

120-19=101

but we are not done yet because it is asking for the value of angle 7 and 8

because angle 7 is supplementary to both all we have to do is subtract 101 from 180

180-101=89 so 7 and 8 =89

hope this helps :D

Alexis is going to Vegas for the weekend! She decides to try her hand at a new game that Casino QuickCash is promoting. For this game, you pay $6 to play. A dealer shuffles and then randomly draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. If the card drawn is a diamond, Alexis wins nothing. If the card drawn is an even-numbered card (2,4,6,8, or 10) from the remaining three decks, Alexis wins $8. Otherwise, Alexis wins $12. a) Alexis's expected winnings per game is (rounded to the nearest cent):

Answers

Answer:

$10.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount that can be won by Alexis ( xi ) = $0, $8 , $12

probability ( pi )

P( $0 ) = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4

P( $8 ) = 15 / 39   ( given that she wins this when an even number is drawn from three remaining decks )

P ( $12 ) = 1 - 15/39 = 24 / 39

a) Alexis expected winnings per game

= ∑ xi * pi = ( 0 * 1/4 ) +  ( 8 * 15/39 ) + ( 12 * 24 / 39 )

                = $0 + ( 120 / 39 ) + ( 288 / 39 )  = $10.46
