Suppose the large number of auto accidents in a small town results in new legislation that requires all citizens of the town to

install new anti-lock brakes on their cars. These new brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, allowing drivers to avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians more easily.
The new brakes _______________ the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle but also give drivers an incentive to drive more _____________, which could potentially ______________ the number of car accidents.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new brakes decrease the probability that a vehicle will collide with another vehicle. Because the anti-lock brakes cut the time it takes a car to stop by 50%, then total collision will be reduced.

But also give drivers an incentive to drive faster, which could potentially increase the number of car accidents.

Because drivers know that the new brakes cut the time it takes to stop and if they drive faster than before, maybe the new brakes won´t be able to reduce accidents and maybe collisions will increase.

Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years he'll have $100. Be
Nimfa-mama [501]

Assuming Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years the correct balance will be: $158.5

First step is to determine Jerry total deposit

over the two years

Total deposit = 24×$5

Total deposit= $144

Now let determine what the correct balance will be at end of two years

Using this formula

Maximum Amount=Principal (1+r)^t

<em>Where</em>:

Principal=$144

r=4.8%/12 = 0.4% or 0.004

t=24 months

Let plug in the formula

Maximum Balance = $144 (1.004)^24

Maximum Balance  = $158.5

Based on the above calculation both Jerry $100 and Benny $163 balance are  ​eliminated or rule out because the correct balance after two years is $158.5

Inconclusion Assuming Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years the correct balance will be: $158.5

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of the equation y=x^2-5
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

x intercepts  -sqrt(5), + sqrt(5)

y intercept -5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 -5

to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x

0 = x^2-5

add 5 to each side

5 = x^2

take the square root of each side

+- sqrt(5) = sqrt(x^2)

x = +-sqrt(5)    there are 2 x intercepts since it is a quadratic


to find the y intercept set x=0 and solve for y

y = 0-5

y = -5

Find the average rate of change.<br><br> p(x) = 6x + 7 on [2, 2 + h] , h ≠ 0
siniylev [52]

Answer:

6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is [p(2+h))  - p(2) ] /  ((2 + h - 2)

= [ 6(2) + h) + 7 - (6(2) + 7)] / h

=  (  12 + 6h + 7 - 12 - 7) / h

=  6h / h

= 6.

If P(E) = 0.32, then what are the odds against E?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

0.68 : 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of all the outcomes of an event is always 1 .

if P(E) = 0.32,

P(E') = 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

N.B that P(E') is the same as P( not E ).

since your answer should be given in the ratio form, as the odds against E ( probability not E : probability E),

P(E') : P(E)

0.68 : 0.32

hope this helps you!
