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

Answer:

0.98046

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

μ = 5.67

σ = 0.07

Here we are required to find

P(5.48 <X<5.82) and between 5.48 and 5.82 we each z-score given by

So 5.48 we have z = -2.714 and 5.82 we have z = 2.143

Therefore we have the area of interest on the normal distribution chart given by :

P( -2,714 < z < 2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + P(Z > 2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + (1 - P(Z < 2.143))

= 1 - 0.00336 + 1 - 0.98382

= 1 - 0.01954 = 0.98046

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is 78.1905<x<81.8095

<h3>Confidence interval</h3>

The formula for calculating the confidence interval is expressed as:

CI = x ± z*s/√n

Given the following parameters

mean "x" = 80

z = 1.645

s = 5.5

n = 25

Substitute

CI = 80 ± 1.645*5.5/√25

CI = 80 ± 1.8095

CI = {78.1905, 81.8095}

Hence the 90% confidence interval for the population mean is 78.1905<x<81.8095
