Answer:

The probability that such a driver will be involved in an accident during the first seventy-five days of the year is 0.408

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provide information.

The probability that such a driver will be involved in an accident in the first forty days is 0.25.

Therefore, P(X\leq 40)=0.25

Where is X represents the random variable that shows time between beginning of a year and an accident.

X is the exponential distribution with λ as a parameter.

P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-\lambda x}, x\geq 0

Therefore,

P(X\leq 40)=1-e^{-40\lambda}

1-e^{-40\lambda}=0.25

e^{-40\lambda}=0.75\\-40\lambda=ln(0.75)\\\lambda=0.00719\approx0.007192

Now we want the probability that a driver will be involved in an accident during the first seventy five days.

P(X\leq 75)=1-e^{-75\times 0.0072}=0.408

Hence, the probability that such a driver will be involved in an accident during the first seventy-five days of the year is 0.408

A basketball player is shooting a basketball toward the net. The height, in feet, of the ball t seconds after the shot is modele
aev [14]

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION

basketball player is shooting a basketball toward the net. The height, in feet, of the ball t seconds after the shot is modeled by the equation h = 6 + 30t – 16t2. Two-tenths of a second after the shot is launched, an opposing player leaps up to block the shot. The height of the shot blocker’s outstretched hands t seconds after he leaps is modeled by the equation h = 9 + 25t – 16t2. If the ball reaches the net 1.7 seconds after the shooter launches it, does the leaping player block the shot?

Yes, exactly 0.6 seconds after the shot is launched.

Yes, between 0.64 seconds and 0.65 seconds after the shot is launched

Yes, between 0.84 seconds and 0.85 seconds after the shot is launched.

No, the shot is not blocked.

Answer:

Yes, between 0.84 seconds and 0.85 seconds after the shot is launched.

Given that the

equation for shot block height h = 9 + 25t – 16t2.

equation for ball height h = 6 + 30t – 16t2.

From the question ,it can be deducted that the shot is made before two tenths of a second or 0.2seconds

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2x= 38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure where u got 12x but 2 x = 38.5:

2x + 5 =82

subtract 5 for 82

2x = 77

77 divided by 2 is 38.5

x = 38.5

hope this helps :)
