Answer:

42 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Mr. and Mrs. Rivers left their house at 10:00 a.m. driving in opposite directions.

Speed of Mr. Rivers = 48 mph

Speed of Mrs. Rivers = 36 mph

We need to find the distance between them at 10:30 a.m.

10:30 - 10:00 = 0:30 = 30 minutes = 1/2 = 0.5 hour

Distance covered by Mr. Rivers in half hour = 48 × 0.5 = 24

Distance covered by Mrs. Rivers in half hour = 36 × 0.5 = 18

Total distance covered by both in half hour = 24 + 18 = 42

Therefore, they are 42 miles far from each other at 10:30 a.m.

Joe owns a stock which has probability .5 of going up. This morning, he bought a ticket in a lottery game which gives him a prob
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery  is 0.00005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be denoted as:

<em>X</em> = the stock goes up

<em>Y</em> = Joe wins the lottery

Given:

P (X) = 0.50

P (Y) = 0.0001

The events of the stock going up is not dependent on the the event of Joe winning the lottery.

So the events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent of each other.

Independent events are those events that can occur together at the same time.

The joint probability of two independent events <em>A</em> and <em>B </em>is,

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Compute the value of P (<em>X ∩ Y</em>) as follows:

P(X\cap Y)=P(X)\times P(Y)=0.50\times 0.0001=0.00005

Thus, the probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery  is 0.00005.
