The number of road construction projects that take place at any one time in a certain city follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 6. Find the probability that less than 3 road construction projects are currently taking place in this city.a) 0.050409b) 0.089235c) 0.301168d) 0.014936

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that less than 3 road construction projects are currently taking place in this city is 0.06197

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Poisson distribution with a mean of 6.

This means that [tex]\mu = 6[/tex]

Find the probability that less than 3 road construction projects are currently taking place in this city.

This is:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.00248[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.01487[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.04462[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.00248 + 0.01487 + 0.04462 = 0.06197[/tex]

The probability that less than 3 road construction projects are currently taking place in this city is 0.06197

Answer:

x = 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 8^2 = 14^2

x^2 + 64 = 196

x^2 = 196 - 64

x^2 = 132

x = [tex]\sqrt{132}[/tex]

x = [tex]2\sqrt{33}[/tex]

x = 11.5

Answer:

11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + b^2 = 14^2

64 + b^2 = 196

-64             -64

When the admission price for a baseball games was $4 per ticket, 40,000 tickets were sold. When the price was raised to $5, only 35,000 tickets were sold. Assume that the demand function is linear and that the variable and fixed costs for the ball park owners are $0.10 and $95,000 respectively.
A) Find the profit P as a function of x, the number of tickets sold P(x)=
B) Select the graph of P
C) find the marginal profits when 20,000 tickets were sold and when 40,000 tickets were sold. P'(20,000)= $ Per ticket P'(40,000)= $ Per ticket

Answers

Answer and explanation:

A. profit P as a function of x, the number of tickets sold

P(x)= total revenue - total cost

For 40000 tickets at $4

=40000×4-0.10×40000+$95000

=$160000-$99000

=$61000

For 35000 tickets at $5

= 35000×$5-0.10×35000+$95000

= $175000-$98500

= $76500

B. P has a downward slope like a demand curve. Increase in price equal to decrease in profit.

C. P(40000)= $4-$0.10+$95000/40000

= $4-$2.475

= $1.525

Price for 20000 tickets was not stated in question but feel free to use an arbitrary price(price should be higher than that for 35000 tickets and 40000 tickets)

Diana averages 6 mph walking
to school. Averaging 35 mph on
the way back home by car, she
takes 3 hour less time.
How far is the school
from her home?

Answers

Answer:

Distance between school and home = 105 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance = D miles

Time to take walking/jogging, t1 = D/6 hours

Time by car, t2 = D/35 hours

Average time, t

= (t1+t2)/2

= D(1/6+1/35)

= (D/210)(35+6)

=41D/210 hours

Given t = t1-3 hours

41D/210 - D/6 = 3

Solve for D

41D/210 - 35D/210 = 3

(41-35)D/210 = 3

6D/210 = 3

D = 3*210/6 = 105 miles.

(Appreciate very much Diana's efforts to walk/job 105 miles to school, and we understand how lucky we are in most of Europe and North America)

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean:

Sum of all values divided by the number of values. Thus:

Population standard deviation:

Square root of the division between the sum of the difference squared of each value and the mean, and the number of values. Thus.

Answers

Answer:

a. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Standard deviation is known to be 14.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]

Sample of 49

This means that [tex]n = 49[/tex]

The standard error of the mean is

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{14}{7} = 2[/tex]
