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

M is 20% less than N means

M is 100-20=80% of N

M=0.80 N

M/N = 0.8 = 4/5

Ratio: 4/5

When we know a, the average, and n, how many numbers there are, we know the sum s, because a=s/n so s=na.

So the sum of our six numbers is 6(3.5)=21 so the sum of the seven numbers is 21+4.2=25.2 so the average is 25.2/7 = 3.6

Answer: 3.6

|2p + 4 | < 3

At p=-2 the absolute value is zero. As p gets more negative the absolute value argument (inside part) gets negative and the absolute value gets bigger, more positive. Eventually the inside will be exactly -3, when

2p +4 = -3

2p = -7

p = -7/2 = -3 1/2

So p=-4 will make the inequality false, and p=-3 is the smallest integer that makes the inequality true.

Answer: -3

The distance from the origin is given by the Pythagorean Theorem and this one is a 3/4/5 right triangle:

$d = \sqrt{(-.3)^2 + (-.4)^2}=.5$
