Poisson Distribution LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Calculate the probability of a poisson distribution. 3.00 The average number of bridge construction projects that take place at any one time in a certain state is 7. PIX=k) - 1e - k is the given number of event occurrences A is the average rate of event occurrences Using the Poisson distribution formula, what is the probability of exactly 4 bridge construction projects taking place at one time in this state? Answer choices are rounded to the hundredths place. a) 0.09
b) 0.19
c) 0.06
d) 0.05

the required probability is 0.09

Option  a) 0.09 is the correct Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ  = 7  

x = 4

the probability of exactly 4 bridge construction projects taking place at one time in this state = ?

Using the Poisson probability formula;

P( X=x ) = ( e^-μ × u^x) / x!

we substitute

P(X = 4) = (e⁻⁷ × 7⁴) / 4!

= 2.1894 / 24

= 0.0875 ≈ 0.09

Therefore the required probability is 0.09

Option  a) 0.09 is the correct Answer.

c. 4 and 1/2 pounds is the answer! : )

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
