The June Bootids meteor shower produces about 6 observable meteors per hour. Suppose that X, the number of observable meteors we in a one- hour period has a Poisson distribution with parameter A = 6. The Poisson distribution is very useful in analyzing phenomena w occur randomly in space or time. Let Y be the number of observable meteors we see in a two-hour period. Y can also be modeled as a P random variable. a. For our model, what is expected value of X? b. What is the probability that X = 7? c. What is the probability that X < 7?

4) The time a basketball player spends in the air when shooting a basket is called the "hang time." The vertical leap L measured in feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation L=4t2. Suppose that a basketball player has a vertical leap of 3 feet 7 inches. Find the hang time for this leap.
Hi there, I missed last week's lecture and am really struggling to complete this week's homework. Below are the questions and instructions provided. Thanks in advance for your help! General instructions • All numerical answers that required decimal places must contain 2 and only 2 decimal places. • Number your answers exactly as the questions are numbered. • Submit only your numbered answers to the questions nothing more. Scenario 1 – answer questions 1 – 12 based on this scenario Todd just got back his exam grades in three classes. In biology the class mean was 75.80 with a standard deviation of 5.15, Todd got an 84.00. In political science the class mean was 84.00 with a standard deviation of 5.50, Todd got an 84.00. In economics the class mean was 87.50 with a standard deviation of 5.60, Todd got a 84.00. 1. What is Todd’s z score for biology? 2. What is Todd’s z score for political science? 3. What is Todd’s z score for economics? 4. Which class showed the highest variability in…
