Answer:

5×1 +9×0.1
5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The verbiage "five and nine tenths" can refer to the mixed number 5 9/10, or to the decimal in standard form, 5.9. Simply converting the phrase to a decimal gets you the standard form.

The expanded form can be written a number of ways, depending on how you like to show the place value multipliers. The simplest expanded form is simply the sum of the digits:

5 + 0.9

You can show the multipliers in standard form:

5×1 + 9×0.1

Or, you can show the multipliers in exponential form:

5×10⁰ +9×10⁻¹

A sample of 2,000 licensed drivers revealed the following number of speeding violations. Number of Violations Number of Drivers

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The probability that a particular driver had exactly two speeding violations is 0.009.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 2,000 licensed drivers revealed the following number of speeding violations;

Number of Violations Number of Drivers

0 1,910

1 46

2 18

3 12

4 9

5 or more 5

Total 2000

Now, the data means that 1,910 drivers had 0 speeding violations and so on.

Now, we have to find the probability that a particular driver had exactly two speeding violations, that means;

Number of drivers having exactly two speeding violations = 18

Total numbers of drivers = 2000

So, the required probability = $\frac{\text{No. of drivers having two speeding violations}}{\text{Total no. of drivers}}$

= $\frac{18}{2000}$ = 0.009

Fill in the gaps in the arithmetic sequence -3, _ ,_ , _, _, _ 12

lord [1]

Answer:

-0.5, 2, 4.5, 7, 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given terms are 6 apart, so the common difference is 1/6 of their difference:

d = (12 -(-3))/6 = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5

Add 2.5 to each term to get the next one. Then the sequence is ...

-3, -0.5, 2.0, 4.5, 7.0, 9.5, 12

The number of flaws in a fiber optic cable follows a Poisson distribution. It is known that the mean number of flaws in 50m of c

boyakko [2]

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is 0.21246

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is 0.69155

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is 0.13063

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable X has a Poisson distribution and it is referred to as Poisson random variable if and only if its probability distribution is given by

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

where $\lambda$ , the mean number of successes.

(a) To find the probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable, we first need to find the mean number of flaws in 150 m, we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 150 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 3 =3.6$

The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is

$P(X=3)=p(3;3.6)=\frac{3.6^3e^{-3.6}}{3!} \approx 0.21246$

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is,

we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 100 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 2 =2.4$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-p(0;2.4)-p(1;2.4)\\\\P(X\geq 2)=1-\frac{2.4^0e^{-2.4}}{0!}-\frac{2.4^1e^{-2.4}}{1!}\\\\P(X\geq 2)\approx 0.69155$

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is

$P(X=1)=p(1;1.2)=\frac{1.2^1e^{-1.2}}{1!}\\P(X=1)\approx 0.36143$

The occurrence of flaws in the first and second 50 m of cable are independent events. Therefore the probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m is

$(0.36143)(0.36143) = 0.13063$
