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.

a) 7x=7

step-by-step explanation:

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
