Answer:

The probability of more than 15 tankers arrival is = P = 0.0487 = 4.8 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The poisson probability will be used to solve this question.

Let the probability of arriving k tankers = P (k) = e^-λ x (λ ^k / k!)

Where λ = average number of tankers arriving today.

Now calculating this equation through a spread sheet and taking sum of all 15 values,

P(k) = 0.9513

therefore

P (>15) = 1 - P(k)

P (>15) = 1 - 0.9513

P (>15) = 0.0487

P (>15) = 48 %

Pachacha [2.7K]
Solving this problem needs the distance formula of point to a line.

The formula is:

distance = | a x + b y + c | / √  (a^2 + b^2)

 
So we are given the equation: y = 2 x + 4

Rewriting this would be: y – 2 x – 4 = 0 ->  a = -2, b = 1, c = -4

 We are also given the points:

(-4, 11) = (x, y)

 Plugging it in the distance formula at points (x, y):

distance = | -2 * -4 + 1 * 11 + -4 | / √ [(- 2)^2 + (1)^2]

= 15 / √ (5)

= 6.7

 So the tree is approximately 6.7 feet away from the zip line.

The value of which of these expressions is closest to e?
pishuonlain [190]
The correct answer for the exercise shown above, is the first option (Option A), which is:

 A. <span>(1+1/18)^18

 The explanation is shown below:

 1- You have that the number e is an irrational number, therefore, its value is aproximated:

 e=2.7182

 2- You have the following expressions:

 </span>(1+1/18)^18=2.6464 
 <span>(1+1/17)^17=2.6424
 </span><span>(1+1/16)^16=2.6379
 </span><span>(1+1/15)^15=2.6328

 Therefore the value of the expression that is closest to e is the Option A.</span>

Markus scored 85, 92, 82, and 94 on the first four tests of the semester. his teacher has not yet told him his score on his fift
Mila [183]
The average of the set of numbers is the quotient when the sum of the numbers is divided by the number of items. Given that Markus' fifth score x, the average is x+5. The equation for solving the fifth score and the arithmetic mean is, 
                         (85 + 92 + 82 + 94 + x) / 5 = x + 5
Further simplifying gives, 
                           (353 + x) / 5 = x + 5
Calculating for the value of x gives x = 82.
