From similarity of triangles we have s/4 = (s+d)/15 and so 4s = s + d and therefore s = d/3. Assuming he starts walking at t=0 from the street light (there is no figure to check this out) then d=6t and we then have s = (6/3) t

Find the slope of the line
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The slope is -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate slope is  m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1), where m is the slope. When we substitute the values, we get 0-3 over -2-2. When we solve this, 0-3 is -3 and -2-2 is -4, so the slope is -3/4.

Suppose that out of 20% of all packages from Amazon are delivered by UPS. 15% of the packages that are delivered by UPS weighs 2
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

0.1938 = 19.38% probability that a package is delivered by UPS if it weighs 2 lbs or more

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: It weighs 2 lbs or more

Event B: Delivered by UPS

15% of the packages that are delivered by UPS weighs 2 lbs or more.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.15

More than 2 lbs:

15% of 20%(UPS)

93% of 80%(Not delivered by UPS). So

P(A) = 0.15*0.2 + 0.93*0.8 = 0.774

a. What is the probability that a package is delivered by UPS if it weighs 2 lbs or more

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.774} = 0.1938

0.1938 = 19.38% probability that a package is delivered by UPS if it weighs 2 lbs or more
