Answer:
- P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
- She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...
... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936
2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.
If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.
This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.
_____
My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)

Answer:
B) biker at 12 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance is proportional to time when velocity is constant. It is not constant in the case of stop-and-go traffic, a baseball*, or a slowing car. The speed of the person biking is given as a constant 12 mph, so that person is traveling a distance proportional to time.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
* It depends. The usual assumption is that horizontal speed is constant, in which case the distance from the hitter along the ground is proportional to time. If you are modeling the real world, the ball slows due to air resistance, so distance is not proportional to time.
If you are concerned with the actual distance the baseball travels through the air, the ball's speed slows as it gains height, then increases again as it falls to the ground. The speed is not constant during any part of that travel.
