Answer: 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The random variable X, representing the number of accidents in a certain intersection in a week, has the following probability distribution:

       x       0       1         2        3       4       5

P(X = x) 0.20   0.30   0.20   0.15   0.10  0.05

Using the above probability distribution , the  the probability that in a given week there will be at most 3 accidents is given by :_

P(\leq3)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)\\\\=0.20+0.30+0.20=0.70

Hence, the required probability = 0.70

Anne is painting her house light blue. To make the color she wants, she must add 3 cans of white paint to every 2 cans of blue p
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

9 cans of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you can set up a ratio.

The ratio right now is 3 : 2, you have 3 cans of white paint for every 2 cans of blue paint. This question is asking how many white paint cans would be needed for 6 cans of blue paint. You can see the relationship between the number of blue paint cans and the new number of blue paint cans, maybe it's multiplying by 4 or 2 for example, and once we find that out we can do the same exact thing to the white cans.

\frac{3}{2}  = \frac{?}{6}

We can see that to get from 2 to 6 you multiply by 3, so now we do that to the other side of the fraction as well, we multiply by 3. 3 multiplied by 3 is 9, so if we were to have 6 cans of blue paint we would need 9 cans of white paint to get that perfect shade of light blue. Anne would need 9 cans of white paint if she had 6 cans of blue paint to make her shade of blue.

Suppose a radioactive substance has a half-life of 1000 years. What fraction will be left after 1000 years?
salantis [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life is the amount of time it takes a substance to decay to half of its original amount.

Since the radioactive substance has a half life of 1000 years, there will be half of it left after 1000 years.

So, the fraction that will be left after 1000 years is \frac{1}{2}
