In a typical children's soccer game, there is one goal scored approximately every 18 minutes. the number of goals scored follows a poisson distribution. what would the standard deviation be for the number of goals scored in an entire game? (a game consists of two 45-minute halves.)

2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability formula using a Poisson distribution is:

λ = 90 / 18 = 5 average goals per interval (interval = a game)

So if for example you were interested in the probability of making 2 goals in a game

k = 2

This was just an example,

The standard deviation is

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
