To make a reflection over the y axis, make the whole equation negative.
The new equation should look like this:
f(x) = -x^3
Question Completion:
How are the percentages distributed? Is the distribution skewed? Are there any gaps? (Select all that apply.)
Answer:
1. The percentages are concentrated from 20% to 60%.
2. These data are strongly skewed left.
3. There are no gaps in the data.

Answer:
a. P(X ≤ 5) = 0.999
b. P(X > λ+λ) = P(X > 2) = 0.080
Step-by-step explanation:
We model this randome variable with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=1.
We have to calculate, using this distribution, P(X ≤ 5).
The probability of k pipeline failures can be calculated with the following equation:

Then, we can calculate P(X ≤ 5) as:

The standard deviation of the Poisson deistribution is equal to its parameter λ=1, so the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation (X>1+1=2) can be calculated as:
