R. White and Co. Has total profit of 6/7 million dollars. The spinning department gave a profit 1/4 of million dollars. Find the fraction of profit from other departments.

Fraction of profit from other departments = 17/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Total profit of R. White and Co = 6/7 million dollars

Profit from the spinning department = 1/4 of million dollars

Fraction of profit from other departments = Total profit of R. White and Co - Profit from the spinning department

= 6/7 million dollars - 1/4 of million dollars

= 6/7 - 1/4

Lowest common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 4 is 28

= (24-7) / 28

= 17/28

Fraction of profit from other departments = 17/28

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! )

is it i think
