Wayne Gretsky scored a Poisson mean six number of points per game. sixty percent of these were goals and forty percent were assists (each is worth one point). Suppose he is paid a bonus of 3K for a goal and 1K for an assist. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total revenue he earns per game. (b) What is the probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

a) The mean for the total revenue he earns per game is of 13.2K while the standard deviation is of 3.63K.

b) 0.05 = 5% probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Step-by-step explanation:

In hockey, a point is counted for each goal or assist of the player.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval. The standard deviation is the square root of the mean.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total revenue he earns per game.

60% of six are goals, which means that 60% of the time he earned 3K.

40% of six are goals, which means that 40% of the time he earned 1K.

The mean is:

$\mu = 6*0.6*3 + 6*0.4*1 = 13.2$

The standard deviation is:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\mu} = \sqrt{13.2} = 3.63$

The mean for the total revenue he earns per game is of 13.2K while the standard deviation is of 3.63K.

(b) What is the probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

Goals and assists are independent of each other, which means that we find the probability P(A) of scoring four goals, the probability P(B) of getting two assists, and multiply them.

Probability of four goals:

60% of 6 are goals, which means that:

$\mu = 6*0.6 = 3.6$

The probability of scoring four goals is:

$P(A) = P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3.6}*(3.6)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.19122$

Probability of two assists:

40% of 2 are assists, which means that:

$\mu = 6*0.4 = 2.4$

The probability of getting two assists is:

$P(B) = P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2.4}*(2.4)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.26127$

Probability of four goals and two assists:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.19122*0.26127 = 0.05$

0.05 = 5% probability that he has four goals and two assists in one game

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{little}{big} =\frac{side mn}{side ab}=\frac{side on}{side cb}$ .

$\frac{0.96}{1.2}=\frac{x}{3}$

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$0.96(3)=1.2(x)\\2.88=1.2x\\\frac{2.88}{1.2}=\frac{1.2x}{1.2} \\2.4=x$
