Solution

To calculate the probability of no accidents occurring in 9 hours of a 12-hour cycle, we first need to know the probability of an accident occurring in any given hour. However, the problem does not provide this information.

If we had this information, we could use the formula for the probability of independent events, which states that the probability of two independent events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.

In this case, we would need to multiply the probability of no accident occurring in one hour by itself 9 times (for each of the 9 hours).

Without the probability of an accident occurring in a given hour, we cannot calculate the desired probability.
