You can have your output default to a new worksheet, or select the circle to the left of Output Range, click into the box to the right of Output Range and then select one blank cell on your spreadsheet where you want the top left-hand corner of your table and graph to start.

The bottom sideway V assumes that a blue marble was drawn on the first draw, and then the second marble drawn can be either red or blue.

    The sample space is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. The event A is that you want is to get a 4, and the event space is A = {4}. Thus, in theory the probability of rolling a 4 would be P(A) = 1/6 = 0.1667.

    The probability is found by taking the area between two points within the rectangle formed from the x-axis, between the endpoints a and b, the length, and f(x) = 1/(b-a), the height. When working with...The probability is found by taking the area between two points within the rectangle formed from the x-axis, between the endpoints a and b, the length, and f(x) = 1/(b-a), the height. When working with continuous distributions it is helpful to draw a picture of the distribution, then shade in the area of the probability that you are trying to find. a) First plug in the endpoints a = 0 and b = 15 into the PDF to get the height of the rectangle.

    The formula for the Poisson distribution is P(X = x) = \(\frac{e^{-\mu} \mu^{x}}{x !}\), where e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828, x = 0, 1, 2, … is the number successes that ...The formula for the Poisson distribution is P(X = x) = \(\frac{e^{-\mu} \mu^{x}}{x !}\), where e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828, x = 0, 1, 2, … is the number successes that you are trying to find the probability for, μ is the mean number of a success over one interval of time, space, volume, etc. The “old” would be the original stated mean and units and the “new” is the units from the question.
