The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of occurrence and non-occurrence of an event add up to one.

If p is the probability that an even will happen and q is the probability that it will not happen

Then

$p+q=1$

Here,

Probability of surviving = p = 0.097

Probability of not surviving = q = ?

$0.097 + q = 1\\q = 1 - 0.097\\q = 0.903$

The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903

C. 1/5,2/5,3/5,4/5 and 1 since all will be on the same mark as 2/10,4/10,6/10,8/10 and 10/10.
d. there would be 10/10 for every 0 to 2.

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate

Answer:

$(-\frac{7}{13},\frac{79}{13})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two equations are given.

$- 7x + 3y = 22$ ------(1)

$4x + 2y = 10$ ----------(2)

Solve equation 1 for y.

$- 7x + 3y = 22$

$3y = 22+7x$

$y=\frac{22+7x}{3}$ -----------(3)

Now, we substitute y value in equation 2.

$4x + 2(\frac{22+7x}{3}) = 10$

$\frac{12x + 2(22+7x)}{3} = 10$

$12x + 2(22+7x)=10\times 3$

$12x + 44+14x=30$

$26x=30-44$

$26x=-14$

$x=-\frac{14}{26}$

$x=-\frac{7}{13}$

Now, we substitute x value in equation 1.

$- 7(-\frac{7}{13}) + 3y = 22$

$\frac{7\times 7}{13} + 3y = 22$

$\frac{49}{13} + 3y = 22$

$3y = 22-\frac{49}{13}$

$3y = \frac{13\times 22-49}{13}$

$3y = \frac{286-49}{13}$

$y = \frac{237}{13\times 3}$

$y = \frac{237}{39}$

$y = \frac{79}{13}$

Therefore, the value of x and y is $(x=-\frac{7}{13},y = \frac{79}{13})$
