Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.11711612445;

0.99376780489;

2.4494897

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Arrival rate = 6 per hour

Mean Arrival during 90 minute period :

60 min = 6

90 min = (6 * 90) / 60 = 9

λ = 9

Using poisson :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) / x!

1) Exactly 7

P( x = 7) = (e^-9 * 9^7) / 7!

= 590.26526724266 / 5040

= 0.11711612445

Atleast 3:

P(x ≥ 3)

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - P(x < 3)

P(x < 3) = p(x =0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)

P(x = 0) = (e^-9 * 9^0) / 0! = 0.0001234098

P(x = 1) = (e^-9 * 9^1) / 1! = 0.00111068824

P(x = 2) = e^-9 * 9^2) / 2! = 0.00499809707

1 - P(x < 3) =

1 - (0.0001234098 + 0.00111068824 + 0.00499809707)

1 - 0.00623219511

= 0.99376780489

B.) mean and standard deviation of the number of patients arriving at the hospital accident and emergency department in an hour?

Mean = arrival per hour = λ = 6

Standard deviation = √λ = √6

Standard deviation = 2.4494897

Answer 2

The probability that, during any 90-minute period, the number of patients  arriving at the hospital accident and emergency department is exactly 7 is 0.11711612445 and the probability for at least 3 is 0.99376780489. The mean is 6 and the standard deviation is 2.4494897.

Given :

Patients arrive at a hospital accident and emergency department at random follow a  Poisson distribution at a rate of 6 per hour.

Accprding to the poisson distribution:

[tex]\rm P(x=x)=\dfrac{(e^{-\lambda} \times \lambda^x )}{x!}[/tex]

a) The probability that, during any 90-minute period, the number of patients  arriving at the hospital accident and emergency department is:

First, determine the value of [tex]\lambda[/tex]:

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{6\times 90}{60} = 9[/tex]

(i) At (x = 7) the probability is given by:

[tex]\rm P(x=7)=\dfrac{(e^{-9} \times 9^7 )}{7!}[/tex]

Simplify the above expression.

P(x = 7) = 0.11711612445

(ii) At (x [tex]\geq[/tex] 3) the probability is given by:

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)=1-P(x<3)[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)=1-P(x=2)-P(x=1)-P(x=0)[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x=2)=\dfrac{(e^{-9} \times 9^2 )}{2!}=0.00499809707[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x=1)=\dfrac{(e^{-9} \times 9^1 )}{1!}= 0.00111068824[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x=0)=\dfrac{(e^{-9} \times 9^0 )}{0!}= 0.0001234098[/tex]

So, the probability at (x [tex]\geq[/tex] 3) is given by:

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)=1-0.0001234098 - 0.00111068824 - 0.00499809707[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)=1 - 0.00623219511[/tex]

[tex]\rm P(x\geq 3)= 0.99376780489[/tex]

b) The mean and standard deviation of the number of patients arriving at the  hospital accident and emergency department in an hour are given by:

[tex]\rm Mean = \lambda = 6\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\rm Standard\; Deviation=\sqrt{\lambda }= \sqrt{6} = 2.4494897[/tex]

Answer:

A. y = -2/3 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the line intercept the y axis at +3

and the slope is: -2/3  

- i used coordinates (3,1) and (6,-1)

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{-2}{3}x + 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Take any two points

(x₁, y₁) = ( 3 , 1 )  & (x₂ , y₂) = (6 , -1)

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\[/tex]

          [tex]=\frac{-1-1}{6-3}\\\\=\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

m = (-2/3)  & (x₁, y₁) = ( 3 , 1 )

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 1 = [tex]\frac{-2}{3}(x - 3)[/tex]

y - 1 = [tex]\frac{-2}{3}x - 3 *\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

y - 1 = [tex]\frac{-2}{3}x + 2[/tex]

   y = [tex]\frac{-2}{3}x + 2 + 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete the coordinate proof of the theorem. Given: A B C D is a rectangle. Prove: The diagonals of A B C D are congruent.
Art: A rectangle is graphed on a coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis are solid. The vertex labeled as A lies on begin ordered pair 0 comma 0 end ordered pair. The vertex labeled as B lies on begin ordered pair a comma 0 end ordered pair. The vertex labeled as D lies on begin ordered pair 0 comma b end ordered pair. The vertex C is unlabeled. Diagonals A C and B D are drawn by dotted lines.

The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C( , ), and D(0, b). The length of AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ is equal to . The length of BD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ is equal to . The diagonals of the rectangle have the same length. Therefore, AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ is congruent to BD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of the rectangle ABCD:

A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(x, y), D(0, b)

Lets first find coordinates of C

We can see that A and B are on same line horizontally, so C and D will be on the parallel line

The distance AB and CD are equal also distance AD and BC are equal, therefore

AB = a - 0 = a, CD = aAD = b - 0 = b, BC = b

So the coordinates of C are:

x = a, y = b

Now the diagonals:

AC = √(a-0)² + (b-0)² = √a²+b²BD =√(0-a)² + (b -0)² = √a² + b²

Since AC = BD, we can state they are congruent

What is Place Value?

In math, every digit in a number has a place value. Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number based on its position in the number. For example, the place value of 7 in 3,743 is 7 hundred or 700. However, the place value of 7 in 7,432 is 7 thousand or 7,000.

Given here: The number 56

To convert it to 506 we must add 506-56=450

∴ we must 45×10 to 56 to convert it to 506

Hence, 45 tens must be added to get 506

Michaela rode her bike on 14 2/3 mile trail. She stopped every 3 1/5 miles for a drink of water . Issac and Jake estimated how many times Michaela stopped.

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The rail = [tex] 14\frac{2}{3} miles [/tex]

She stops after every [tex] 3\frac{1}{5}miles [/tex] for a drink.

The number of times she stopped for a drink = [tex] \frac{14\frac{2}{3}}{3\frac{1}{5}} [/tex]

Change the fractions to improper fractions

[tex] \frac{\frac{44}{3}}{\frac{16}{5}} [/tex]

Change the division operation to multiplication, and then flip the fraction on your right upside down.

[tex] \frac{44}{3} \times \frac{5}{16} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{44 \times 5}{3 \times 16} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{220}{48} = 4.58 [/tex]

If we approximate this to the nearest whole number, we would have an estimate of 5.

✅Therefore, we can conclude that Michaela stopped 5 times.

The estimate given by Issac and Jake is omitted in the question. However, the person who got an estimate of 5 is the person who made a better estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Its a given that the y intercept is 4 because on that point x = 0

B= 4

now you solve for your slope using y - y' / x - x'

when you plug in the numbers you get -1 - 4 / -1 - 0 which simplfies to -5 / -1 which simplifies just to 5, so we know the slope is = 5
