The Denver Post reported that, on average, a large shopping center had an incident of shoplifting caught by security 1.4 times every eight hours. The shopping center is open from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. (11 hours). Let r be the number of shoplifting incidents caught by security in an 11-hour period during which the center is open.
(a) Explain why the Poisson probability distribution would be a good choice for the random variable r.
Frequency of shoplifting is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent.
Frequency of shoplifting is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent.
Frequency of shoplifting is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent.
Frequency of shoplifting is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent.
What is ? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least one shoplifting incident caught by security? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least three shoplifting incidents caught by security? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d) What is the probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be no shoplifting incidents caught by security? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Using the Poisson distribution, it is found that:
a) Frequency of shoplifting is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent.b) 0.8541 = 85.41% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least one shoplifting incident caught by security.c) 0.303 = 30.3% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least three shoplifting incidents caught by security.d) 0.1459 = 14.59% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be no shoplifting incidents caught by security.In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes e = 2.71828 is the Euler number [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.Item a:
In this problem, we are given the mean during an interval, which is a common event(1.4 every 8 hours), and intervals can be assumed to be independent, hence, the correct option is:
Frequency of shoplifting is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent.Item b:
Mean of 1.4 every 8 hours, hence, every 11 hours, the mean is:
[tex]\mu = 11 \times \frac{1.4}{8} = 1.925[/tex]
The probability is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1459 = 0.8541[/tex]
0.8541 = 85.41% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least one shoplifting incident caught by security.
Item c:
The probability is:
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
Then:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2808[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2703[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1459 + 0.2808 + 0.2703 = 0.697[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.697 = 0.303[/tex]
0.303 = 30.3% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least three shoplifting incidents caught by security.
Item d:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]
0.1459 = 14.59% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be no shoplifting incidents caught by security.

1) To solve this system of equations by elimination, what operation could be used to eliminate the y-variable and find the value of x?
2x - 4y = 6
-3x + 3y = 12
A) add 3 times the second equation to 4 times the first equation
B) add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation
C) subtract 3 times the second equation from 4 times the first equation
D) subtract 4 times the second equation from 3 times the first equation
PLEASE HELP!!!
Answer:
Option B is correct.
add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B) add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have these two equations:
2x - 4y = 6
-3x + 3y = 12
In order "to solve this system of equations by elimination" we want to make BOTH of the equations have a term (in this case the y term) and have the same coefficient (that's the number right next to the y) If they are the exactly same number, even the same sign in front, then we would subtract the equations. If they have the same coefficient but different signs, then we would add the equations. This will eliminate the y term completely. So in order to make them have the same coefficient. We'll multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4
3(2x - 4y = 6)
4(-3x + 3y = 12) multiplying all the way across the equation (distributing)
We'll get
6x -12y = 18
-12x + 12y = 48 Then you are actually adding from the top, down and get one equation from adding the two existing ones together.
-6x = 66 And then you are able to solve it by dividing both sides by -6 to get
x = -11
You can then use either equation and x = -11 to find y. Your solution is the x, y pair. You can check it by putting the x and y into both equations and finding it makes a true statement in both.

What is the range of the relation below?
1.5kg : 350g solve the ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
convert kg into grams
1kg=1000g
1.5kg/350g=1.5×1000g/350
1500/350=300/70
=30/7
ratio will be 30:7
answer is 4.2g
The answer to the ratio is:
4.2g
First of all, we need to convert the kg to g
This can be done by multiplying the Kg by 1000
1.5kg x 1000= 1500g
Next, we solve the ratio since they are in the same parameters
This would be 1500g:350g
1500/350= 30/7.
Therefore, the ratio would be 30:7
Finally when further broken down, it would be 4.2g

For the above expression to have a defined value, the expression in the bracket must be positive.
However, x^2 will always be positive, and -2 will ensure that the expression is always negative, except when x = 0

For the above expression to have a defined value, the expression in the square root must be positive.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (−3,8) and (-7, 8)
Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the y- coordinates of the points are equal, both 8 , then

y = c
where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through
The line passes through (- 3, 8 ) and (- 7, 8 ) with y- coordinates 8 , then

A book club charges an initial joining fee of $30.00. The cost per book is $7.00. The graph shows the cost of belonging to the club as a function of books purchased. How will the graph change if the cost per book goes up by $1.50? (The new function is shown by the dotted line.)
Answer:
$82.50
Step-by-step explanation:
You add seven dollars to $1.50 and you would get the sum of 8.50 then you multiply the amount of books purchased. The Equation is 5($8.50) + $30.00= 82.50

This is how I got that:

The first hour charges $15 and for the remaining 2 hours and 45 minutes
Mr. Anand is charged 36$. Remember it says that each additional hour or part thereof, so the 2 hours and 45 minutes is considered 3 hours.
So our total for one paddle boat is $51
But Mr. Anand hired three boats so we simply times 51 by 3 and get our solution to the problem:

A grocery store introduced two new flavors of scones: cranberry and orange.
On the first day, 28 cranberry scones and 16 orange scones were sold.
Each day after that, 14 cranberry scones and 11 orange scones were sold.
Drag the tiles to complete the table. Each tile may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the Cranberry Scones you all add 14 with it so 14+28=42 42+14=56 56+14=70 70+14=84. So, the answers on Cranberry scones are
28 42 56 70 84
Orange scones you add 11 to all of them so 11+16=27 27+11=38 38+11=49 49+11=60.So the answer on Orange Scones is
16 27 38 49 60

-11/14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope =(y2-y1)/ (x2 - x1)
Here y2 = 7 and y1 = -4, x2 = -7 and x1 = 7.
So slope
= (7 - (-4)/ -7-7)
= -11/14.
