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.

At Cheesecake Factory, the cost of your meal before the tip is $77.23. You leave a 15% tip. How much
money did you leave for tip? What is the total cost of your meal?
Answer:
$88.81
Step-by-step explanation:
to find tip, multiply 77.23 and .15 to get $11.58
total cost = meal + tip
total cost = 77.23 + 11.58 which equals $88.81

Answer:
I think it's 34°.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle to the right of 3x+7 is the alternate interior angle to 2x+3, meaning that they are the same.
Now, that angle, 2x+3, and 3x+7, are on a line, which I'm assuming is a straight line with an angle of 180°. If it is, then (2x+3)+(3x+7)=180
Now you can solve for x.
2x+3+3x+7=180
5x+10=180
5x=170
x=34
Therefore, x=34°

HELP ANSWER PART A AND B
Answer:
part A: median is 12
part B: interquartile rage is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: to find your median on a box and whisker plot, you just need to look at your middle line in your box. In this case it's 12.
Part B: to find your interquartile range on a box and whisker plot, you subtract your Q1 and Q3. Your Q1 and Q3 will be the two outside lines that make up the rest of your box, in this case would be 6 and 16. To find your Q1 if you don't already have your plot set up, you separate the numbers that are given to you in half and find the median of each side. The first half will be your Q1 and the second half your Q3.
Find all real values of $x$ such that $x^2-5x + 4=0$.
Answer:
x=4 && x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - x - 4x + 4=0
x(x-1) - 4(x - 1)=0
(x-4)(x-1)=0
X=4 and x=1
All real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.
What is the equation?An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.
It is given that, the quadratic equation is, x²-5x+4=0
Any equation of form ax²+bx+c=0 where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.
We have to find the value of x as,
x²-5x + 4=0
x² - x - 4x + 4=0
x(x-1) - 4(x - 1)=0
(x-4)(x-1)=0
X=4 and x=1
Thus, all real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.

The simplified equation after clearing the decimals is
-12.2 + 2.8w - 8.8 = 1.05w
Answer:
-21=-4w
w=5.25
but you don’t want decimals
so- you round down
w=5
Step-by-step explanation:
You combine like terms, and then make sure your variable is alone, the only way to get it alone from a ”mixed number” is to divide
you do the same thing to both sides
so divde each side by -4
-21/-4 = 5.25
or with it rounded down since it’s under a five
It’s 5 with the decimals removed

Step-by-step explanation:
Use rigid motions to explain whether the triangles in the figure are congruent. Be sure to describe specific rigid motions in your explanation . ( Will Mark Brainliest if answered correctly).
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't really know what demonstrating with rigid motion means, never heard that before. But a method for demonstrating it could be drawing circumferences of radius:
1) R1 = d(O,S)
2) R2 = d(O,J)
3) R3 = d(O,M)
With O being the origin of the reference system.
*Note: d(A,B) means distance between point A and point B
After you've done that you can show that the points S and P are on the same circumference, J and W are on the same circumference (different from the one of S and P), M and D are on the same circumference.
After you've done that you calculate the angle between the points on the same circumference and demonstrating that they are all the same.

Step-by-step explanation:
the x decreases by 1 the y decreases by 4
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 7y = -3
-3x - y = 19
Answer:
x=-5, y=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this system of equations, first multiply the second equation by 7 to get -21x-7y=133. this allows for the y terms in both equations to cancel once you add the two equations together.
adding these together, the y term cancels and you are left with -26x=130. so dividing both sides by -26 will get x=-5. then plug this x value back into either original equation (i chose -3x-y=19) so solve for y.
-3(-5)-y=19 so -y=4 so y=4
so the answer to the system of equations is x=-5 and y=-4
Four tour buses depart the terminal on the same day. The itinerary of the first bus takes 6 days, for the second bus it takes 8 days, for the third bus it takes 10 days, and the fourth bus takes 15 days. Assuming that another tour begins the same day that the bus returns to the terminal, how many days will it take until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day?
Using the least common factor, it is found that it will take 120 days until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day.
Considering their itineraries, the number of days it will take until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day is the lcm of 6, 8, 10 and 15.To find their least common factor, we factor each number by prime numbers, hence:
6 - 8 - 10 - 15|2
3 - 4 - 5 - 15|2
3 - 2 - 5 - 15|2
3 - 1 - 5 - 15|3
1 - 1 - 5 - 5|5
1 - 1 - 1 - 1
Hence, lcm(6, 8, 10, 15) = 2³ x 3 x 5 = 8 x 15 = 120.
It will take 120 days until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day.

LAST ATTEMPT IM MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! (Finding missing sides- similar triangles Algebraic practice )
Answer:
x=7.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Give the triangles we know that:
[tex] \frac{cd}{fh} = \frac{de}{hg} = \frac{ce}{gf} [/tex]
Now we can substitute like usual
[tex] \frac{78}{fh} = \frac{117}{54} = \frac{ce}{5x + 1} [/tex]
Now we simplify the fraction in the middle
the middles fraction will =13/6
Therefore:
[tex] \frac{78}{fh} = \frac{13}{6} [/tex]
so 13fh=468
Therefore: fh=36
Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem
so
[tex]gf = \sqrt{ {54}^{2} - {36}^{2} } [/tex]
so gf=18√5
so 5x+1=18√5
so 5x=-1+18√5
so x=7.85
