you and your friends go to joshua tree national park on december 13 to watch the peak of the geminid meteor shower. according to the griffith observatory website, the expected number of meteors you will see is 150150 per hour. what is the probability that you will see at least two meteors in the first minute?

Respuesta :

The probability that we will see at least two meteors in the first minute is 1251.5.

What is probability?

  • The probability is the likelihood that something will happen, to put it simply.
  • When we don't know how something will turn out, we can talk about the possibility of one outcome or the likelihood of several.
  • The study of events that fit into a probability distribution is known as statistics.
  • Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with numerical representations of the likelihood of an event occurring or of a proposition being true.

So, the probability that we will see at least 2 meteors in the first minute:

  • The expected start we can see in 1 hour is 150150.

Then, in 1 minute:

  • 150150/60 = 2,502.5
  • Rounding off: 2,503

Now, at least 2 meteors in 1 minute:

  • Probability formula: P(E) = Favourable events/Total events

Solve as follows:

  • P(E) = Favourable events/Total events
  • P(E) =2/2,503
  • P(E) = 7.99
  • P(E) = 1251.5

Therefore, there is a 1251.5 percent probability that we will observe two meteors or more in the first minute.
