Answer:
The observed tumor counts for the two populations of mice are:
Type A mice = 10 * 12 = 120 counts
Type B mice = 13 * 12 = 156 counts
Step-by-step explanation:
Since type B mice are related to type A mice and given that type A mice have tumor counts that are approximately Poisson-distributed with a mean of 12, we can then assume that the mean of type A mice tumor count rate is equal to the mean of type B mice tumor count rate.
This is because the Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the the mean and variance of unknown data (type B mice count rate) using known data (type A mice tumor count rate). And the Poisson distribution gives the probability of an occurrence within a specified time interval.
If I think I’m understanding it, the new members out of the 200 original would be adding 28% to the mix
3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1 or 4 1/2 inches
So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9 because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9 Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4 1/2 dollars. (Answer is 9)
So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same
8 4/9 x 9 = 8 4/9 x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1 or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)
