Assume that emergency medical personnel in California are planning for future resources and it has been observed that the averag

e number of traffic accidents requiring ambulance assistance on the Hollywood Freeway between 7 and 8 AM on Wednesday mornings is 1.1. What, then, is the probability that there need for exactly 2 ambulances on the Freeway during that time slot on any given Wednesday morning?

Answer:

Answer is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The text implies that the number of traffic accidents determines the number of ambulances required on the road. Hence, 1 traffic accident requires 1 ambulance.

The time slot and time of day remain same in both the text and the question.

The average or mean number of accidents is 1.1

QUESTION: What then is the probability that there is need for exactly 2 ambulances on that road and in that time frame?

In other words, what is the probability that there'll be 2 accidents on that road and in that time frame?

Since the mean number of accidents is 1.1,  2 is above the mean.

Probability of 1.1 accidents is 1, since that's the mean (expected value).

Probability of 2 accidents is 1/2 which is = 0.5

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

3+2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the equation out.

1/4(12+8x)

(1/4*12)+(1/4*8x)

Multiple those out to get a new equation

3+2x

You cannot add those together because of the variable. Theres no way of knowing what x equals so this is as far as you can go therefor making the answer 3+2x

A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 units. The length of the rectangle is 2X+3 and the width is 3X. What is the width of the recta
densk [106]

Answer:

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divided 26 (total perimeter) by 4 = maximum side length possible = 26÷4 =.6.5

I used the trial and error technique

Guessed it was 2 working out to see if i was right or wrong:

Length: 2(2) + 3 = 4+3 = 7

Width: 3(2) = 6

7+7+6+6 = 26

Therefore X = 2

Factorize 2x^4-7x^3-13x^2+63x-45 using factor theorem.
zheka24 [161]
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")

1║2  -7  -13    63  -45
  ║     2    -5  -18    45
    2  -5  -18    45    0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.

Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")

3║2  -5  -18    45 
  ║     6     3   -45   
    2   1  -15     0   

Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors.  Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.

Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
