tim estimates that 60÷5.7 is about 10. Will the actual quotient be greater then or less than 10? explain

1 answer:

7 0

The actual quotient will be greater than 10 because 60 divided by 5 is 12, so the answer will be between 10 and 12, so it will be greater than 10

Answer:

(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.

The random variable $X\sim Poisson(\lambda = 0.62)$ .

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,...$

(a)

Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{-0.62}(0.62)^{1}}{1!}\\=1-0.54335-0.33144\\=0.12521\\\approx0.1252$

Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.

(b)

The average deaths over 7 year period is: $\lambda=7\times0.62=4.34$

Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-4.34}(4.34)^{0}}{0!}=0.01304\approx0.0130$

Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.

Which properties are present in a table that represents an exponential function in the form y-b* when b > 1?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Properties that are present are

Property I

Property IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given is $y=b^x$ where b > 1

Let's take a function, for example, $y=2^x$

Let's check the conditions:

I. As the x-values increase, the y-values increase.

Let's put some values:

y = 2 ^ 1

y = 2

and

y = 2 ^ 2

y = 4

So this is TRUE.

II. The point (1,0) exists in the table.

Let's put 1 into x and see if it gives us 0

y = 2 ^ 1

y = 2

So this is FALSE.

III. As the x-value increase, the y-value decrease.

We have already seen that as x increase, y also increase in part I.

So this is FALSE.

IV. as the x value decrease the y values decrease approaching a singular value.

THe exponential function of this form NEVER goes to 0 and is NEVER negative. So as x decreases, y also decrease and approached a value (that is 0) but never becomes 0.

This is TRUE.

Option I and Option IV are true.

Fill in the table using this function rule. y=-4x+2 x y -1 0 1 2

Mariulka [41]

All you have to do is substitute all the Xs to and get a final y output.

for example:
if we take the number x is -1 all you do is:

y=-4(-1)+2
y=4+2
y=6
thats the first one done

Louden County Wildlife Conservancy counts butterflies each year. Data over the last three years regarding four types of butterfl

MrRa [10]

Incomple question. However, here's the remaining part of the question:

2009

Meadow Fritillary= 5

Variegated Fritillary= 7

Zebra Swallowtail= 33

Eastern-Tailed Blue= 242

Louden County Butterfly Count

2010

Meadow Fritillary 34

Variegated Fritillary 95

Zebra Swallowtail 21

Eastern-Tailed Blue 168

2011

Meadow Fritillary

Variegated Fritillary

Zebra Swallowtail

Eastern-Tailed Blue

170

Options:

A) All butterfly populations are steadily decreasing.

B)All butterfly populations were larger than usual in 2010.

C)The Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the others.

D)The Meadow Fritillary is equally common as the Variegated Fritillary

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking through the above count data by Louden County Wildlife Conservancy from 2009 to 2011 we notice the Eastern- Trailed Blue butterfly has a higher count, which implies that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the other butterflies.

Therefore, we could infer from the samples, that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than others from the records of the past 3 three years.
