Assume that the poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.55.5 per year. a. find the probability that, in a year, there will be 44 hurricanes. b. in a 5555-year period, how many years are expected to have 44 hurricanes? c. how does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of 5555 years in which 88 years had 44 hurricanes? does the poisson distribution work well here?

Lassify the function as linear or quadratic and identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms. f(x) = (3x + 2)(−6x − 3) linear function; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6 linear function; linear term: −18x2; constant term: −6 quadratic function; quadratic term: 6x2; linear term: 24x; constant term: −6 quadratic function; quadratic term: −18x2; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6

Since opening night, attendance at play a has increased steadily, while attendance at play b first rose and then fell. equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since opening night. on what day(s) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? play a: y = 8x + 191 play b: y = -x^2 + 26x + 126 a. the attendance was never the same at both plays. b. the attendance was the same on day 5. the attendance was 231 at both plays on that day. c. the attendance was the same on day 13. the attendance was 295 at both plays on that day. d. the attendance was the same on days 5 and 13. the attendance at both plays on those days was 231 and 295 respectively.
