Hummingbirds have unusually large hearts for their size. If a person's heart were as big as a hummingbird's, his or her heart would weigh as much as a large dog.
Information: An average hummingbird weighs 0.3524 ounces and has a heart that weighs 0.00875
ounces. One pound = 16 ounces. The average weight of a large dog is usually more than 80 lbs.
Questions: Leo weighs 192 lbs.
(a) How much would Leo's heart weigh if it were in the same ratio as the hummingbird's? Show your
work.
(b) Is the original claim true or false? Justify your reasoning.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
