on average, 3 traffic accidents per month occur at a certain intersection. what is the probability that in any given month at this intersection (a) exactly 5 accidents will occur? (b) fewer than 3 accidents will occur? (c) at least 2 accidents will occur?

Answers

Answer 1

a)The probability of exactly 5 accidents will occur is 0.1008.

b) The probability of fewer than 3 accidents will occur is 0.42318.

Define probability.

It is predicated on the likelihood that something will occur. The justification for probability serves as the basic foundation for theoretical probability. For instance, the theoretical chance of receiving a head while tossing a coin is 12. Mathematics' study of random events is known as probability, and there are four primary types of probability: axiomatic, classical, empirical, and subjective. Since probability is the same as possibility, you could say that it is the likelihood that a specific event will occur.

Given,

Mean = 3

a) By using Poission probability formula,

P( X = 5) = e⁺³ (3)⁵/5!

P(X = 5) = 0.1008

The probability of exactly 5 accidents will occur is 0.1008.

b) fewer than 3 accidents will occur:

P( X <3) = e⁻³ (3)⁰ + e⁻³ (3)¹ + e⁻³(3)²

P( X< 3) = 0.4978 + 0.14936 + 0.22404

P( X < 3) = 0.42318

The probability of fewer than 3 accidents will occur is 0.42318.

The equation of the parabola is f(x) = 7(x-3)^2+5.

Given:

The equation of the parabola that has the same shape has f(x) = 7x^2 but with vertex(3,5) in the form of f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

If the parabola has same shape then its a values are same.

so f(x) = 7x^2

here a = 7

so the equation with vertex (3,5) also has a value is 7.

(h,k) = (3,5)

f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k

= 7(x-3)^2 + 5.

Therefore the equation of the parabola is f(x) = 7(x-3)^2+5.

3 (2− k) = −3k + 2
I need this for class

Answers

The value of k for the expression, 3 (2− k) = −3k + 2, does not exist.

According to the question,

We have the following expression:

3 (2− k) = −3k + 2

Now, we will multiply 3 into the bracket:

6-3k = -3k+2

Now, moving -3k from the left hand side to the right hand side will result in the change of the sign from minus to plus:

6-3k+3k = 2

Now, 3k will get subtracted from 3k. So, we do not have any variable left for this equation.

Hence, the value of k  for the expression, 3 (2− k) = −3k + 2, does not exist.

Answers

In 2267 year, this population would be 400000.

From the question, we have

population is growing as  Pn = 200*(1.03)n

substituting the value, we get

400000 = 200*(1.03)n

2000 = 1.03n

ln(2000) = n*ln(1.03)

n = ln(20000) / ln(1.03)

n = 257.15

2010 + 257.15 = 2267 year , this population would be 400000.

Need help ASAP find the value of x in the triangle below

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating an equation

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

This means that 6x - 19 + 3x + 7 + 84 = 180

Solving for x

6x - 19 + 3x + 7 + 84 = 180

==> combine like terms

9x + 72 = 180

==> subtract 72 from both sides

9x = 108

==> divide both sides by 9

Given that the coefficient of x³ is twice the coefficient of x² in the binomial expansion of f(x)

(a) It is proved that n = 6k + 2

(b)k = 2 and n=14

(c) After expansion, the equation is
   1 + 14x + 91/4x^2 + 1001/2x^3 + 1001/16x^4 + 1001/16x^5

What is the binomial theorem?

The algebraic expansion of a binomial's powers is described by the binomial theorem (also known as binomial expansion) in elementary algebra.
The theorem states that the polynomial (x + y)n can be expanded into a sum including terms of the form axbyc, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers and b + c = n, and the coefficient an of each term is a particular positive integer dependent on n and b.

Solution Explained:


f(x)= (1+x/k)^n

Given that the coefficient of x^3 is twice the coefficient of x^2 in the binomial expansion of f(x)

a)

Coeff of x^3 = 1/6[n(n-1)(n-2)/k3]

Coeff of x^2 = 1/2[n(n-1)/k2]

1/6[n(n-1)(n-2)/k3] = 2* 1/2[n(n-1)/k2]

Canceling on both sides gives:

(n-2)/(6k) = 1

n = 6k+2        Hence proved

Given also that the coefficients of x^4 and x^5 are equal and non-zero,

b)

Coeff x^4 = 1/24 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/k4

Coeff x^5 = 1/120 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)/k5

1/120 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)/k5 = 1/24 [n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/k4

Canceling gives:

(n-4)/(120k) = 1/24

n = 5k+4

From previous:

n = 6k+2 = 5k+4

k = 2

n=14

Using these values of k and n,

c)

Give each coefficient as an exact fraction in its lowest terms
1 + 14x + 91/4x^2 + 1001/2x^3 + 1001/16x^4 + 1001/16x^5

Kyle = 5 Bottles of Water
Lisa = 4 Bottles of Water

Michael = 6 Bottles of Water

Answers

Michael drinks 33.5 fl oz more fluid ounces than Lydia.

Given in question,

30 ml = 1 fl oz

  1 ml = 1/30 fl oz

1 bottle = 335 milliliters

No. of bottles of water Michael drank = 6

                                                              = 6 * 335 milliliters

                                                              = 2010 milliliters

                                                              = 2010/30 fl oz

                                                              = 67 fl oz

No. of bottles of water Lydia drank = 3

                                                           = 3 * 335 milliliters

                                                           = 1005 milliliters

                                                           = 1005/30 fl oz

                                                           = 33.5 fl oz

mandy begins bicycling west at 30 miles per hour at 11:00 a.m. if liz leaves from the same point 20 minutes later bicycling west at 36 miles per hour, when will she catch mandy?

Answers

The time at which Liz will catch up with Mandy is 1 pm.

Here we have to find the time when Mandy and Liz meet.

Let t be the time taken by Liz to meet Mandy

Given:

Speed of Mandy = 30mile/hr

Speed of Liz = 36 miles/hr

Formula:

Speed = Distance/ time

Distance by Mandy = 30t

Distance by Liz = 36( t - 20/60)

As the distance covered by both is the same. So we have

30t = 36( t - 1/3)

6t = 12

t = 2

2 hours past 11 am is 1 pm.

Therefore Liz catch Mandy at 1 pm.

where m is the rate of change, b is the initial value of y and y, x are variables.

Let y represent the elevation of the road after x miles.

After 2 miles, the elevation is 5500 feet above sea level.

After 4 miles, the elevation is 6200 feet above sea level.
