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

$(0.36143)(0.36143) = 0.13063$

What’s the answer? Because am having a hard time with this math problem.

Studentka2010 [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

34.5 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the area of the shaded region. (The actual question is not visible here.)

The area of the triangle (including the rectangle) is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

The figure shows the base of the triangle is 11 m, and the height is 1+5+3 = 9 m. So, the triangle area is ...

A = (1/2)(11 m)(9 m) = 49.5 m^2

The rectangle area is the product of its length and width:

A = LW

The figure shows the rectangle is 5 m high and 3 m wide, so its area is ...

A = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2

The shaded area is the difference between the triangle area and the rectangle area:

shaded area = 49.5 m^2 - 15 m^2 = 34.5 m^2

The shaded region has an area of 34.5 square meters.

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals

Ronch [10]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²), thus

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9)

comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, then

m = - 3

Within the United States, approximately 11.25% of the population is left-handed. Of the males, 12.6% are left-handed, compared t

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities

A 50% probability that a person is a male

A 50% probability that a person is a female.

A 12.6% probability that a male is left-handed.

A 9.9% probability that a female is left-handed.

If a person is selected at random, to find the probability that the selected person is a right-handed female, one would compute:

50% are female.

9.9% of the females are left-handed, so 100-9.9 = 90.1% of the females are right handed.

So

$P = 0.5*0.901 = 0.4505$

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.
