a 36-year-old was involved in an accident? Use the table below.

p=0.07986

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

Number of Drivers,aged(35-44)=40,322,000

Number of accidents, age group (35-44)=322,000

It should be noted that number of accidents is inclusive of fatal accidents. Therefore likelihood of a 36-yr old being in an accident is given as:-

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
