The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a poisson random variable with mean λ. however, we may suppose that the rate λ depends on the person or portion of the population. suppose that λ=4 for 75 percent of the population, and λ=5 for the other 25 percent. (a) if a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that s/he will have zero accidents in a certain year?

Iron reacts with oxygen to produce iron oxide (rust). this reaction is represented in an equation as 4fe + xo2 → 2fe2o3. identify the value of x that will balance the equation.

Protein synthesis actually begins in the nucleus when transcribes a single gene on the dna molecule is copied. the process of copying this gene is called this copy is known as and contains the protein building instructions. this copy is sent out into the cytoplasm to the part of the cell known as the the of the ribosome will join together to form a functional ribosome when they attach to the mrna. as the mrna moves through the ribosome, the message is read by transfer rna brings the correct back to the ribosome. the amino acids are placed in the correct order and are hitched together by

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.
