Need type answer a. A section of road has 55 accidents recorded in three years. For the same period, the estimated vehicle travel on the section was 23 mvk.

3 decimal places Potholes on a highway can be a serious problem, and are in constant need of repair. With a particular type of terrain and make of concrete, past experience suggests that there are, on the average, 3 potholes per mile after a certain amount of usage. It is assumed that the Poisson process applies to the random variable “number of potholes.” a.What is the probability that no more than two potholes will appear in a section of 1 mile? b.What is the probability that no more than 4 potholes will occur in a given section of 5 miles?

When taping using a 5-m steel tape, Barry Allen measured that the length of a road is 70.12m. He then verified it using a 10-m tape and got a reading of 70.06m for the same road. Determine the following:1. The relative precision of Barry Allen's taping activity2. If Barry Allen has a pace factor of 0.82m, what would be the most probable number of pace Barry Allen would have with the same road.
