Suppose that 7 in every 10 auto accidents involve a single vehicle. If 15 auto accidents are randomly selected, compute the probability that at most 4 of them involve a single vehicle.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

p = x/n

p = 7/10

p = 0.7

sample size n = 15

Suppose X be the number of accidents involved by a single-vehicle.

Then;

Thus, the required probability that at most  4 involve in a single-vehicle is

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
