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

Solve: 5 (x+2) +2x<br> make sure to show your work
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

5 (x+2) +2x is equal to 7x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of this equation you would have to apply the distributive property by changing 5 (x+2) to 5x +10. (When applying the distributive property you will always multiply the numbers in the parentheses by the number on the left of it). Then you would combine like terms by adding 2x and 5x together. You will then have 7x + 10.
