The probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

If Alex arrives at any time after 1.20pm the chances that train will  be there is 1/3.

However  if alex arrives at 1.00pm exactly there is no chance the train will be arrive there.

The probability that the train will be there increase linearly to 1/3 as alex's arrival time moves from 1.00pm to 1.20pm.

By arranging the probabilities over the first 20 minutes to get a 1/6 chance the train will be there if alex arrives between 1.00pm to 1.20pm

we get the final answer by

=1/3( 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3)

=5/18

So, the probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

Inessa [10]
<h3>Answer:  3 units</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

The y coordinates are identical, so we just need to focus on the x coordinates.

Going from 0 to -3 is a distance of 3 units. Drawing out a number line might help.

Or we could apply subtraction and absolute value

|x1-x2| = |0-(-3)| = |0+3| = |3| = 3

which is the same as

|x2-x1| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3

The absolute value is to ensure the result is never negative. Distance is never negative.

Side note: if the y coordinates weren't the same, then we'd have to use either the pythagorean theorem or the distance formula.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

m*p/n = percent

Step-by-step explanation:

m% of n is what percent of p?

We can use ratios

m             percent

------- =  ---------------

n                    p

Using cross products

m*p = n * percent

Divide each side by n

m*p/n = percent
