The path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 30 and 120.

30² + 120² = c²

900 + 14400 = c²

15300 = c²

c=√15300 ≈123.7'

instead of walking 30+120=150 feet they save 26.3 feet by taking the shortcut

Return to the credit card scenario of Exercise 12 (Section 2.2), and let C be the event that the selected student has an America
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

A. P = 0.73

B. P(A∩B∩C') = 0.22

C. P(B/A) = 0.5

   P(A/B) = 0.75

D. P(A∩B/C) = 0.4

E. P(A∪B/C) = 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has a Visa card, B the event that a student has a MasterCard and C the event that a student has a American Express card. Additionally, let's call A' the event that a student hasn't a Visa card, B' the event that a student hasn't a MasterCard and C the event that a student hasn't a American Express card.

Then, with the given probabilities we can find the following probabilities:

P(A∩B∩C') = P(A∩B) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.3 - 0.08 = 0.22

Where P(A∩B∩C') is the probability that a student has a Visa card and a Master Card but doesn't have a American Express, P(A∩B) is the probability that a student has a has a Visa card and a MasterCard and P(A∩B∩C) is the probability that a student has a Visa card, a MasterCard and a American Express card. At the same way, we can find:

P(A∩C∩B') = P(A∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.15 - 0.08 = 0.07

P(B∩C∩A') = P(B∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.1 - 0.08 = 0.02

P(A∩B'∩C') = P(A) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(A∩C∩B') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.6 - 0.22 - 0.07 - 0.08 = 0.23

P(B∩A'∩C') = P(B) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.4 - 0.22 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.08

P(C∩A'∩A') = P(C) - P(A∩C∩B') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.2 - 0.07 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.03

A. the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards is calculated as:

P = P(A∩B∩C) + P(A∩B∩C') + P(A∩C∩B') + P(B∩C∩A') + P(A∩B'∩C') +              

     P(B∩A'∩C') + P(C∩A'∩A')

P = 0.08 + 0.22 + 0.07 + 0.02 + 0.23 + 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.73

B. The probability that the selected student has both a Visa card and a MasterCard but not an American Express card can be written as P(A∩B∩C') and it is equal to 0.22

C. P(B/A) is the probability that a student has a MasterCard given that he has a Visa Card. it is calculated as:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

So, replacing values, we get:

P(B/A) = 0.3/0.6 = 0.5

At the same way, P(A/B) is the probability that a  student has a Visa Card given that he has a MasterCard. it is calculated as:

P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) = 0.3/0.4 = 0.75

D. If a selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he also has both a Visa card and a MasterCard is  written as P(A∩B/C), so it is calculated as:

P(A∩B/C) = P(A∩B∩C)/P(C) = 0.08/0.2 = 0.4

E. If a the selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he has at least one of the other two types of cards is written as P(A∪B/C) and it is calculated as:

P(A∪B/C) = P(A∪B∩C)/P(C)

Where P(A∪B∩C) = P(A∩B∩C)+P(B∩C∩A')+P(A∩C∩B')

So, P(A∪B∩C) = 0.08 + 0.07 + 0.02 = 0.17

Finally, P(A∪B/C) is:

P(A∪B/C) = 0.17/0.2 =0.85

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 9cm and the other leg measures 8cm. Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessar
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

12.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2 = c^2

a = 9

b = 8

hypotenuse = c = \sqrt{8^2+9^2}

c = 12.04 cm
