On average, there are 12 potholes per mile on a particular stretch of the state highway. Suppose the potholes follow a Poisson distribution on the highway. a. Find the probability of finding fewer than two potholes in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.) b. Find the probability of finding more than one pothole in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
a) 0.1992 = 19.92% probability of finding fewer than two potholes in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
b) 0.8008 = 80.08% probability of finding more than one pothole in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
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.
a. Find the probability of finding fewer than two potholes in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
Mean of 12 potholes per mile, which means that in a quarter-mile stretch, the mean is [tex]\mu = \frac{12}{4} = 3[/tex]
This probability is:
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*(3)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*(3)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 = 0.1992[/tex]
0.1992 = 19.92% probability of finding fewer than two potholes in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
b. Find the probability of finding more than one pothole in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
This is
[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]
We have that [tex]P(X < 2) = 0.1992[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.1992 = 0.8008[/tex]
0.8008 = 80.08% probability of finding more than one pothole in a quarter-mile stretch of the highway.
What is equivalent to the equation y=3x+z/4?
Determine the equation of circle A.
(x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 9
(x + 1)2 + (y-2)2 = 9
(x-1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 3

how many solutions does this problem have 2x – 4 = 2(x – 2)
Answer:
= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x−4=2(x−2)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x−4=2(x−2)
2x+−4=(2)(x)+(2)(−2)(Distribute)
2x+−4=2x+−4
2x−4=2x−4
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x−4−2x=2x−4−2x
−4=−4
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−4+4=−4+4
0=0

A student received a coupon for 12% off the total purchase price at a clothing store. Let b be the
original price of the purchase. Use the expression below for the new price of the purchase. Write an
1. equivalent expression by combining like terms.
b-0.12b
Answer:
the equivalent expression is 0.88(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
There is 12% off on the total purchase price
Based on the above information
The expression that used the given terms i.e.
b - 0.12b
i.e.
1 - 0.12
= 0.88(x)
Hence, the equivalent expression is 0.88(x)

Find the inverse of the function, f(x)=5(x-4)^3 +6
trade x and y
Answer:
y=[(x-6)/5]^(1/3)+4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=5(x-4)^3 +6
trade x and y
x=5(y-4)^3 +6
x-6=5(y-4)^3
(x-6)/5=(y-4)^3
[(x-6)/5]^(1/3)=y-4
y=[(x-6)/5]^(1/3)+4
Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
What is the perimeter and area?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.
Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:
Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)
= 6/4
= 3/2.
In the same way
slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)
= 3/2.
So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.
Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.
So the figure is a parallelogram
Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):
Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC
By Pythagoras:
AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52
BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13
So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13
= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13
= 6sqrt13
or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.
Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
If Siny = x Sin (a+y). Prove that
dy/dx=[Sin²(a+y)]/Sina
Answer:
Use Trigonometric formulae to simplify expressions
Step-by-step explanation:
Re-order to group the x and y,
Sin(y) / Sin(a+y) = x
to differentiate apply d/dx to both sides
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex]Sin(y) / Sin(a+y) = [tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex]x
use division rule on left side which will give
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]Cos(y)Sin(a+y) - [tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]Cos(a+y)Sin(y) / Sin²(a+y) = 1
Group them so dy/dx is on the left hand side:
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = Sin²(a+y) / Cos(y)Sin(a+y) - Cos(a+y)Sin(y)
Apply trigonometric sum formula to expand Sin(a+y) and Cos(a+y),
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = Sin²(a+y) / Cos(y)[Sin(a)Cos(y) + Cos(a)Sin(y)] - Sin(y)[Cos(a)Cos(y) - Sin(a)Sin(y)]
Simplify it
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = Sin²(a+y) / (Cos²(y) + Sin²(y))(Sin(a))
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}[/tex] = Sin²(a+y) / (1)(Sin(a))

Researchers published a study in which they considered the incidence among the elderly of various mental health conditions such as dementia, bi-polar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, delirium, and Alzheimer's disease. In the U.S., 45% of adults over 65 suffer from one or more of the conditions considered in the study. Calculate the probability that fewer than 320 out of the n
Answer:
The step-by-step procedure to solve this question is given, using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
In the U.S., 45% of adults over 65 suffer from one or more of the conditions considered in the study.
This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation for the approximation, for a sample of n:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 0.45n[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{0.45*0.55n}[/tex]
Calculate the probability that fewer than 320 out of the n
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X < 320 - 0.5) = P(X < 319.5)[/tex], which is the pvalue of Z when X = 319.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{319.5 - 0.45n}{\sqrt{0.45*0.55n}}[/tex]
Just have to replace the value of n, find Z, and then find its pvalue.
