On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has a closed circle at (negative 3, negative 4) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (0, negative 4). The second line has a closed circle at (0, 2) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (4, 2). The third line has a closed circle at (4, 3) and continues horizontally through (5, 3) with an arrow instead of an endpoint. A step function is shown on the graph. What are the domain and range?

Domain:
✔ real numbers greater than or equal to –3

Range:
✔ equal to –4, 2, and 3

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! )

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
