In a small city, the number of automobile accidents occur with a Poisson distribution at an average of three per week.

a. Calculate the probability that there are at most 2accidents occur in any given week.

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

What is P(x<3.5|x<4)?

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

What is the 90thpercentile of square footage for homes?

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

Find the probability that a randomly selected home has more than 3,000square feet given that you already know the house has more than 2,000square feet.
