Answer:
a. 52%
b. 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represents the event of raining on Monday and B represents the event of raining in Tuesday,
Then according to the question,
P(A) = 20% = 0.2,
P(B) = 40% = 0.4,
Here, A and B are independent events,
So, P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B),
⇒ P(A∩B) = 0.2 × 0.4 = 0.08
We know that,
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
a. The probability it rains on Monday or Tuesday, P(A∪B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.08
= 0.52
= 52%
b. The conditional probability it rains on Tuesday given that it rained on Monday,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given that tonya charges 20$ monthly fee and 3$ per mile of her dog-walking service.
and beth does not charge any monthly fee but charges 5$ per mile of the dog walked in.
let x be the number of miles dog has walked in a month.
the amount tonya will charge on x miles = fixed monthly fee + number of miles * charge per mile = 20+3x
and the amount beth will charge on x miles = 0+ 5*x = 5x.
we are asked to find the x-value for which beth chargeable amount = tonya chargeable amount
that is 5x = 20+3x
5x-2x = 20
2x=20
x=
hence number of miles for which tonya and beth will charge the same amount is 10.
Answer:
3 people
Step-by-step explanation:
$51/$17 = 3 people
- We know to start with $51 dollars because that is the total price of the meal.
- We also know each meal costs $17.
- Next, ask youself what we are trying to find? We are trying to find how many people are eating.
- Therefore to find that we need to take our starting amount $51 divided by $17 because that is the cost of 1 meal.
- $51/$17 = 3 people (whole cost/individual cost = # of people)
- To check this take 3 x 17 = 51 (Now we know it is correct)
- If you would like a further explanation please let me know.
Answer: Laura cannot find the number, as explained below.
Explanation:
1) The question is aimed to determine the number that Laura is trying to come up with.
Such question is solved by stating an algebraic equation from the word statement, which is done step by step.
2) Using the name x for the unknown, the expression "three less than 8 times the number" is translated to: 8x - 3
3) The expression "half of 16 times the number after it was increased by 1" is translated to: (1/2) (16x + 1)
4) Finally, since they are equal, you can set the equation:
8x - 3 = (1/2) (16x + 1)
5) And solve for x in this way:
i) Distributive property:
8x - 3 = 8x + 1/2
ii) At this stage you can see that the both 8x terms (on the left and on the right) cancel each other, which leads to the impossibility to determine the value of the unknown:
-3 = 1/2 which is alwasy false, meaning that the equation has no solution.
Answer:
900m
Step-by-step explanation:
A=wl
W=25
L=12
A=25 x 12
A= 300
300 meters x 3 laps = 900 meters walked
