Hello there.

6(8 - 2y) = 4y

To solve for this, we need to apply the Distributive Property to the left side of the equation. This property allows us to multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by all numbers inside of the parenthesis.

6(8 - 2y)
6(8) + 6(-2y)
48 - 12y

Now, let’s take a look at our equation.

-12y + 48 = 4y

To make things more simple, we’ll add 12y to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out -12y on the left side of the equation and will turn 4y on the right side of the equation into 16y.

Our new equation is:

16y = 48

Now all we need to do is divide both sides by 16 to solve for y.

16y / 16 = y
48 / 16 = 3

Our final answer and solution is:

Y = 3

I hope this helps!

On Texas Avenue between University Drive and George Bush Drive, accidents occur according to a Poisson process at a rate of thre

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

(a) The probability is 0.6514

(b) The probability is 0.7769

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of accidents occur according to a poisson process, the probability that x accidents occurs on a given day is:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}$

Where a is the mean number of accidents per day and t is the number of days.

So, for part (a), a is equal to 3/7 and t is equal to 1 day, because there is a rate of 3 accidents every 7 days.

Then, the probability that a given day has no accidents is calculated as:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{x}}{x!}$

$P(0)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{0}}{0!}=0.6514$

On the other hand the probability that February has at least one accident with a personal injury is calculated as:

P(x≥1)=1 - P(0)

Where P(0) is calculated as:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}$

Where a is equivalent to (3/7)(1/8) because that is the mean number of accidents with personal injury per day, and t is equal to 28 because 4 weeks has 28 days, so:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{x}}{x!}$
