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

Which is an x-intercept of the continuous function in the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

(-1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept of a line is defined by a point where y = 0.

So the point in the form of (x, 0) will be the x-intercept of the given continuous function.

From the table attached,

For x = -1, f(-1) = 0

For x = 2, f(2) = 0

For x = 3, f(3) = 0

Points (-1, 0), (2, 0) and (3, 0) are the x-intercepts of the continuous function f(x).
