You are making a welding fixture and must cut down a length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches. If the leftover piece is long enough, you will use it in another fixture . How long will the leftover piece be ? 23 and 7/8 1 and 51/70 7 and 1/8 6 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Original length = inches

inches                      ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece cut from original = inches

inches                 ( In improper fraction )

Length of piece leftover piece =  (Original length ) - (Length of piece cut )

Hence, the leftover piece will be  long.

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! )

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
