If p(a) = 0.60 and p(b) = 0.20, then a and b are independent events if

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

grigory [225]

Answer:

1. 20 pounds

2. $11

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you have to use a system of equations. It would look like this, where $p$ is pounds and $t$ is total cost:

UPS: $t=7+0.20p$

FedEx: $t=5+0.30p$

In order to solve a system of equations you must either a.) graph it, or b.) set them equal to each other.

If you graph it, the answer is where the two lines intersect.

If you set them equal to each other, solve it.

I will set them equal to each other in this:

$7+0.20p=5+0.30p$

The first step in a problem like this, where there's the same variable on both sides, is to subtract the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, it is $0.20x$ . That would turn the equation into:

$7=5+0.10p$

After that, you must solve it like a regular two-step equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

$2=0.10p$

Now, you must divide both sides by $0.10$ .

$\frac{2}{0.10}=\frac{0.10p}{0.10}$

That would give us:

$20=p$

This means that in order for the prices to be the same, the package must be 20 pounds.

Now in order to find the total cost, you must plug 20 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which, since they both equal the same. I will plug it into the FedEx equation:

$t=5+0.30(20)$

Now you can just use a calculator and solve that or do it by hand. Multiply 0.30 by 20, to get 6, then add 5, which equals 11.

You should get: $t=11$ .

This means that the total cost, when the costs are the same for both FedEx and UPS, is $11.

A certain cold remedy has an 88% rate of success of reducing symptoms within 24 hours. Find the probability that in a random sam

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%

The number of people who took the remedy = 45

Now, 88% of 45 = $\frac{88}{100} \times 45 = 39.6$

and 39.6 ≈ 40

So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.

Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy

Favorable outcomes = 40

$\textrm{Probability of Event E} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}$

or, $\textrm{Probability of people getting cured} = \frac{\textrm{40}}{\textrm{45}}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

What is the distance rounded to the nearest tenth between the points (2 -2) and (6 3)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The distance between the points is approximately 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the points are;

(2, -2), and (6, 3)

The distance between two points, 'A', and 'B', on the coordinate plane given their coordinates, (x₁, y₁), and (x₂, y₂) can be found using following formula;

$l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}}$

Substituting the known 'x', and 'y', values for the coordinates of the points, we have;

$l_{(2, \, -2), \ (6, \, 3) } = \sqrt{\left (3-(-2) \right )^{2}+\left (6-2 \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{5^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{41}$

Therefore, the distance between the points, (2, -2), and (6, 3) = √(41) ≈ 6.4.
