Step-by-step explanation:

The snowplow's speed is 40 mph minus the loss from the snow, which is 1.2 mph times the depth of snow in inches.

y = 40 − 1.2x

When y = 0:

0 = 40 − 1.2x

1.2x = 40

x = 33 ⅓

The snowplow stops moving when the snow is 33 ⅓ inches deep or more.

docker41 [41]

Answer: 0.665.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the bags are from supplier A, and 95% of them are undamaged.

40% of the bags are from supplier B, and 75% of them are undamaged.

Then, the number of undamaged bags from supplier A is:

0.6*0.95 = 0.57 or 57%

from B is:

0.4*0.75 = 0.3 or 30%

This means that the percentage of undamaged bags is:

57% + 30% = 87%.

Then, the probability that an undamaged bag is from supplier A is equal to the percentage of undamaged bags that came from supplier A (57%) and the total percentage of undamaged bags (87%) this is:

P = 57%/87% = 0.655 or 65.5%

Then the probability that an undamaged bag comes from supplier A is 0.665.

A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. If 3 balls are selected at random, find the probability of selecting 3 red balls?
Paha777 [63]
The probability is 4⋅3⋅2⋅1/10•9•8•7=(4/4)(6/0)/(10/4)=1/210 so the probability of selecting 3 red balls would be 1/210
