Suppose we look at the event of having an automobile accident at some time during a day's commute. let's assume that the probability of having an accident on a given day is 1 in a thousand or 0.001. that is, in your town, one of every thousand cars on a given day is involved in an accident (including little fender-benders). we also assume that having (or not having) an accident on a given day is independent of having (or not having) an accident on any other given day. suppose you commute 46 weeks per year, 5 days a week, for a total of 230 days each year. in the following parts, write each probability in decimal form rounded to three places.
(a) what is the probability that you have no accident over a year's time?
(b) what is the probability that you have at least one accident over a one-year period?
(c) repeat part (a) for a 10-year period and for a 30-year period?

Astudent solves the equation for v. start with the original equation. use the square root property. use the division property of equality. use the multiplication property of equality. simplify. which statement explains how to correct the error that was made? the square root property must be applied after all other properties of equality are applied. the multiplication property of equality should have been applied before the division property of equality. the division property of equality should have been applied to move the fraction to the other side of the equation. the square root property should have been applied to both complete sides of the equation instead of to select variables.
