The Poisson distribution may be used when studying the number of events that occur in a given interval of time (or space). These events must occur at a constant rate, be independent of the time since the previous occurrence.

What is the square root of negative pi?

Answer 1:The only answer is π^-1iThe square root of -1 is i so i times the square root of pi is equal to the square root of negative piAnswer 2:More concretely, the square root of negative pi is approximately 1.772453850905i, wherein the 1.772453850905 represents an approximation of pi, and "i", which should be a lower case cursive "i", represents the square root of negative one.


A number that is equal to thirty two and a half?

A number that is equal to thirty two and a half? Only that number. You can express it in a variety of ways, though. 32 1/2 32.5 65/2 Those three are the main ways. If one likes, you can represent it with equations or esoteric signs. But it makes little sense, as such would then have to be solved or reduced back down to the above three ways. Examples: The square root of 1056.25 4! + (2 cubed) + 1/2 Finally, you can do the "equivalent" game, in which case a representation is virtually the same, but not quite the same. Example: 32.499999999999999999999999 wherein nine infinitely repeats. That is virtually 32.5.
