Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 6.2 per year. a. Find the probability that, in a year, there will be 5 hurricanes. b. In a 35-year period, how many years are expected to have 5 hurricanes? c. How does the result from part (b) compare to a recent period of years in which years had hurricanes? Does the Poisson distribution work well here?

Given a circle with a radius of 2 which is the length of an arc measuring 75

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by smullyan [sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. you encounter three people, a, b, and c. you know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. for each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."

An arc subtends a central angle measuring 7pi/4 radians what fraction of the circumference is this arc?
