Answer:
Most people found the probability of just stopping at the first light and the probability of just stopping at the second light and added them together. I'm just going to show another valid way to solve this problem. You can solve these kinds of problems whichever way you prefer.
There are three possibilities we need to consider:
Being stopped at both lights
Being stopped at neither light
Being stopped at exactly one light
The sum of the probabilities of all of the events has to be 1 because there is a 100% chance that one of these possibilities has to occur, so the probability of being stopped at exactly one light is 1 minus the probability of being stopped at both lights minus the probability of being stopped at neither.
Because the lights are independent, the probability of being stopped at both lights is just the probability of being stopped at the first light times the probability of being stopped at the second light. (0.4)(0.7) = 0.28
The probability of being stopped at neither is the probability of not being stopped at the first light, which is 1-0.4 or 0.6, times the probability of not being stopped at the second light, which is 1-0.7 or 0.3. (0.6)(0.3) = 0.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that we need to look for the intervals of x and also for the intervals of y.<span> We can observe that t</span>here is a minimum between x = 0 and x = 1 because the graph is descending and then ascending and also the graph has a maximum value between y = -3 and y = -1.
There are several ways to answer this question and I will use this approach. Since Johnny reads at a ratio of 7:3 it can be stated that for every 10 pages in a book containing 500 pages Johnny will read 7 of those pages. There are 50 groups of 10 in a 500-page book (50 x 10). Take the ration 7:3 times 50 and use the distributive property: 7:3(50) = (7 x 50):(3 x 50) = 350:150. Based on this Johnny has read 350 pages and has 150 pages remaining.
Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
50 x 50 would be 100 and 50kg=100% and 10 x 2 = 20 so you used 20% therefore you have 80% left.
