Records kept by the national ski patrol and the national safety council show that, over a period of 14 years, 52.25 million people visited the slopes annually, with an average of 34 deaths each year. assuming these figures are current, what is the probability that a skier will die in a skiing accident in a given year? (round your answer to eight decimal places.)

Number of people visiting the slopes annually = 52.25 Million

Number of people visiting the slopes annually = 52,250,000

Number of deaths annually (per year) = 34

Probability that a skier will die in a given year is calculated as = Number of deaths per year/ Total number of visitors in a given year

Probability that a skier will die in a given year = 34/52,250,000

Probability that a skier will die in a given year = 0.00000065 (Rounded to eight decimals)

answer: 80,000

step-by-step explanation:

the population doubles every day.

10,000*2=20,000 day 4

20,000*2=40,000 day 5

40,000*2=80,000 day 6

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
