Answer:

259 / 701

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident = number of respondents that have been in an accident / total number of respondents

total number of respondents = 259 + 442 = 701

 = 259 / 701

A bag contains 7 pieces of paper numbered 1 to 7. P(2)=. Is this an experimental or theoretical probability and why?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

This is theoretical probability.  The 7 pieces of paper each bear one number from {1, 2, ... , 6, 7}.  There is only one piece of paper marked 7.  So the probability of drawing a 2 is  1/7.

A 12 sided die is rolled set of equally likely outcomes as 12345678 910 1112 find the probability of rolling a number greater th
Alex73 [517]

Answer: The probability of rolling a number greater than two is 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 12 possible outcomes for rolling a  number greater than two since the die is numbered from 1 to 12.

And in all the numbers, 10 of which is greater than 2.

so you will divide 10 over the total outcomes.

10/12 = 5/6  or 0.833..

6x^2 - 9x + 3<br> - (8x²+ 7x - 1)
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

-2x² - 16x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out expression

6x² - 9x + 3 - (8x² + 7x - 1)

Step 2: Distribute negative

6x² - 9x + 3 - 8x² - 7x + 1

Step 3: Combine like terms (x²)

-2x² - 9x + 3 - 7x + 1

Step 4: Combine like terms (x)

-2x² - 16x + 3 + 1

Step 5: Combine like terms (constants)

-2x² - 16x + 4
