The probability of getting 3 or more who were involved in a car accident last year is 0.126.

Given 9% of the drivers were involved in a car accident last year.

We have to find the probability of getting 3 or more who were involved in a car accident last year if 14 were selected randomly.

We have to use binomial theorem which is as under:

nC_{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r}

where p is the probability an r is the number of trials.

Probability that 3 or more involved in a car accident last year if 14 are randomly selected=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)]

=1-{14C_{0}0.9^{0} (0.1)^{14} +14C_{1} (0.9)^{1} (0.1)^{13} +14C_{2} (0.9)^{2} (0.1)^{12}}

=1-{1*0.2670+14!/13!*0.9*0.29+14!/2!12!*0.0081*0.2358}

=1-{0.2670+0.3654+0.2358}

=1-0.8682

=0.1318

Among the options given the nearest is 0.126.

Hence the probability that 3 or more are involved in the accident is 0.126.

A ball is thrown straight up, from 3 m above the ground, with a velocity
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

probably the 2.38 seconds answer

Step-by-step explanation:

start by setting the entire equation equal to 8, since h(t) is the height and 8m is the height we are looking at right now.

8=-5t^{2}+14t+3

subtract 8 from both sides to get: 0=-5t^{2}+14t-5

use the Quadratic equation to find the time, the negative answer does not count.

when you do the quadratic equation you get \frac{7+2\sqrt{6} }{5},\frac{7-2\sqrt{6} }{5}

In decimal form that's about  2.38 and 0.42 You'd probably go with the 2.38 seconds because the ball starts at 0 seconds, so the lower number is probably to close to the start point.

A science teacher ordered S2278 worth of microscopes and dissection kits for the new science lab. A total of
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

26M + 56D = 2278 ---- equation 1

M = 3D ---- equation 2

A microscope costs S51 and a dissection kit costs S17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent microscope with M and Dissection kits with D

Cost:

M = 3D

Total = 2278

Required

Represent as an equation:

To do this, we represent the equation in terms of cost and quantity

In terms of cost, we have:

26M + 56D = 2278 ---- equation 1

and

M = 3D ---- equation 2

Substitute 3D for M in equation 1

26*3D + 56D = 2278

78D + 56D = 2278

134D = 2278

Divide both sides by 134

D = \frac{2278}{134}

D = 17

Substitute 17 for D in M = 3D

M = 3 * 17

M = 51

Hence:

<em>A microscope costs S51 and a dissection kit costs S17</em>

1. The correct answer for the problem shown above is the equation of the last option (Option D), which is shown below: 

 D. y=-3(x+3)^2+6

 3. To verify that this is the equation of the parabola, you can give values to the variable "x" and plot each point obtained. When you do this, you obtain the graph attached.

 2. Therefore, as you can see in the graph attached the vertices area (-3,6), so you can conclude that the correct answer is the option mentioned before: 

 D. y=-3(x+3)^2+6
