Answer: 0.70

Explanation:

Given : The random variable X, representing the number of accidents in a certain intersection in a week, has the following probability distribution:

x 0 1 2 3 4 5

P(X = x) 0.20 0.30 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05

Using the above probability distribution , the the probability that in a given week there will be at most 3 accidents is given by :_


P(\leq3)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)\\\\=0.20+0.30+0.20=0.70

Hence, the required probability = 0.70
