Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p be the number of identical packages.
We have been given that each package has a mass of 37.4 kg, so weight of p packages will be 37.4p.
The total mass of Renna and her load of identical packages is 620 kg.
We have been given that the mass limit for the elevator is 450 kg. This means that Renna can remove p packages from 620 kg such that 620 minus weight of p packages will be less than or equal to 450 kg.
We can represent this information in an inequality as:
Therefore, the inequality can be used to determine the number of packages, p, Renna could remove from the elevator to meet the mass requirement.

Answer:
a) P(X∩Y) = 0.2
b) = 0.16
c) P = 0.47
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call X the event that the motorist must stop at the first signal and Y the event that the motorist must stop at the second signal.
So, P(X) = 0.36, P(Y) = 0.51 and P(X∪Y) = 0.67
Then, the probability P(X∩Y) that the motorist must stop at both signal can be calculated as:
P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)
P(X∩Y) = 0.36 + 0.51 - 0.67
P(X∩Y) = 0.2
On the other hand, the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one can be calculated as:
= P(X) - P(X∩Y)
= 0.36 - 0.2 = 0.16
At the same way, the probability that he must stop at the second signal but not at the first one can be calculated as:
= P(Y) - P(X∩Y)
= 0.51 - 0.2 = 0.31
So, the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal is:
