A. You are given the mean per year. Thus, just convert the unit of time from year to day. 

Mean per day = <span>35.935.9/year * 1 year/365 days = 98.45

b. Probability is expressed as a fraction or percentage of an event happening. In this case, we should determine when each day, the amount of accidents is 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on. It would be much easier to find the probability of the accident happening once or twice a day.

probability for accidents once and twice a day: 1/98.45 + 2/98.45 = 0.03
Probability for accidents more than twice a day: 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

c. It is not unusual due to the high probability of it happening as quantified in letter b.

How do I get the answer for 1 1/2 x 3 x 1 1/9
Mekhanik [1.2K]

\boxed{1 \frac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 1 \frac{1}{9}=5}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

in this problem we have the following expression:

1 \frac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 1 \frac{1}{9}

So here:

1 \frac{1}{2} \ and \ 1 \frac{1}{9} \ are \ written \ as \ mixed \ fractions

Let's convert them as improper fractions:

1 \frac{1}{2}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ 1 \frac{1}{9}=1+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1\times9 +1}{9}=\frac{10}{9}

Rewriting our expression:

\frac{3}{2}\times 3 \times \frac{10}{9}=\frac{3\times 3 \times 10}{2\times 9}=\frac{90}{18}=5

You are buying lawn seed for the the football field a 10 pound bag of lawn seed covers 2000 square feet.
Masja [62]

A football field is 120 yards long (100 yards playing field plus 2 end zones 10 yards each) by 53 1/3 yards wide.

1 yard = 3 feet.

120 yards x 3 feet per yard = 360 feet

53 1/3 yards x 3 = 160 feet.

The area of the football fields is 360 x 160 = 57,600 square feet.

1 bag covers 2000 square feet:

57,600 / 2,000 = 28.8 bags, round up to 29 bags are needed.

1 bag cost $27.79.

29 bags x $27.79 = $805.91 total cost.

Billy is hiking in Colorado. He walks eastward four miles, then turns $60$ degrees northward and walks six miles. How far is he
nikklg [1K]

He is  2√19 miles far way from starting point.

Suppose Billy starts at point A, turns at point B, and ends at point D, as shown below.

If Billy turns 60◦ northward and walks six miles, then we can draw a 30 − 60 − 90 triangle whose hypotenuse is 6 miles

It follows that Billy traveled 6/2 = 3 miles eastward during these 6 miles, and that he traveled 3√3 miles northward during these 6 miles. In total, Billy traveled 4 + 3 = 7 miles  eastward and 3√ 3 miles northward.

By the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance from his starting point is q:

(7)2 + (3√3)2

=√49 + 27

= √76

= 2√19 .
