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.

The figure below shows a rectangular lawn. 23ft 14ft (a) Use the calculator to find the perimeter and area of the lawn. Make sur
tamaranim1 [39]

The area and perimeter of the lawn will be 322 square feet and 74 feet. If the lawn will be mowed. Then the area will be used. If the lawn will be surrounded by a rope. Then the perimeter will be used.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A rectangle's opposite sides are parallel and equal, and each angle is 90 degrees. Its diagonals are all the same length and intersect in the center.

The figure below shows a rectangular lawn.

Then the area of the rectangle will be

Area = 23 × 14

Area = 322 square feet

Then the perimeter of the rectangle will be

Perimeter = 2 (23 + 14)

Perimeter = 2 × 37

Perimeter = 74 feet

If the lawn will be mowed. Then the area will be used.

If the lawn will be surrounded by a rope. Then the perimeter will be used.

More about the rectangle link is given below.

Jill says that 12.6 repeating is less than 12.63. Explain her error.
cestrela7 [59]
12.6 repeating is the equivalent of 12.666666666666 and so on but if you rounded, it would be 12.67. So, compare 12.67 and 12.63. 12.67 is larger.
