Ulysses is spending his vacation in south carolina. he rents a car and is offered two different payment options. he can either pay $25.00 each day plus $0.15 per mile (option a) or pay $10.00 each day plus $0.40 per mile (option b). ulysses rents the car for one day. write an inequality representing the number of miles where option a will be the cheaper plan. (set up the inequality and then step by step how to solve) how many miles will ulysses have to drive for option a to be the cheaper option? show step by step work

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! )
