The number of knots in a particular type of wood has a Poisson distribution with an average of 1.6 knots in 10 cubic feet of the wood. Find the probability that a 10-cubic-foot block of the wood has at most 5 knots. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

0.994 = 99.4% probability that a 10-cubic-foot block of the wood has at most 5 knots.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

is the mean in the given interval.

1.6 knots in 10 cubic feet of the wood.

This means that

Find the probability that a 10-cubic-foot block of the wood has at most 5 knots.

In which

0.994 = 99.4% probability that a 10-cubic-foot block of the wood has at most 5 knots.

it would be:

c.parallelogram.

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
