HELP PLEASE

(x-5)1/2 +5= 2
(x - 5)1/2 =-3
{(x - 5)1/2}^2 = (-3)^2

a possible solution for the question is _

X=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these equations are meant to confuse you.

Just solve the middle one.

(x-5)1/2=-3

*2. *2

x-5=-6

x=-1

CHECK:

(-1-5)1/2=-3 yep

The other equations are the exact same, just with more operations.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
