There is a theorem that we can use to find the expected value of a random variable that is a sum of other random variables as follows.

If X=X_1 + X_2 + ...+X_k, then E(X)=E(X_1)+E(X_2)+...+E(X_k).

In this case, let X = the number of accidents that will happen on any of those highways today,
X_1,X_2,X_3 are the numbers of accidents on each highway, respectively.

Then  X = X_1+X_2+X_3.

Since X_1,X_2,X_3 are Poisson variates, their expected values are the parameters given, .3, .5 and .7.

So E(X_1)=.3, E(X_2) = .5, E(X_3) = .7
Thus, E(X)=E(X_1)+E(X_2)+E(X_3) = .3 + .5 + .7 = 1.5

The answer is 1.5.

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 triangles are congruent, they will have exact same 3 sides length and exact same 3 angles measure.

So we can say:

-2x + 6y = 6

and

-7x + 8y = -5

Let's multiply first equation by 7 and 2nd equation by -2, to get:

7 [-2x + 6y = 6] = -14x +42y = 42

and

-2 [-7x + 8y = -5] = 14x - 16y = 10

Now adding these 2 new equations and solving for y:

-14x +42y = 42

14x - 16y = 10

----------------------

26y = 52

y = 52/26

y = 2

Now we put y = 2 into 1st equation (or any other) and solve for x:

-2x + 6y = 6

-2x + 6(2) = 6

-2x + 12 = 6

6 = 2x

x = 6/2

x = 3
