Police plan to enforce speed limits by using radar traps at four different​ locations, Upper L 1L1​, Upper L 2L2​, Upper L 3L3​,

and Upper L 4L4. The radar traps will be operated 4040​%, 3030​%, 2020​%, and 3030​% of the​ time, respectively. If a person who is speeding on her way to work has probabilities of 0.30.3​, 0.20.2​, 0.40.4​, and 0.10.1​, ​respectively, of passing through these​ locations, what is the probability that she will receive a speeding​ ticket?

Answer:

This person have a 29 % probability to receive a speeding​ ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of receive a speeding​ ticket in one of the traps is equal to the probability of going through that trap during the operation time of the trap.

Like we have four traps, and the probabilities are independent,  then the probability of receive a speed ticket in one of them, is the sum of the probability for each trap.

P=P1+P2+P3+P4

The probability of going through a trap during the operation time is obtained by multiplying the probability of passing through the​ trap by the frequency of operation

Frequency of operation:

TL1 ⇒ 40 % = 0.4

TL2 ⇒ 30 % = 0.3

TL3 ⇒ 20 % = 0.2

TL4 ⇒ 30 % = 0.3

Probability of passing through these​ locations

PL1 ⇒ 0.3

PL2 ⇒ 0.2

PL3 ⇒ 0.4

PL4 ⇒ 0.1

then,

P1= TL1*PL1

P2= TL2*PL2

P3= TL3*PL3

P4= TL4*PL4

and

P = TL1*PL1 + TL2*PL2 + TL3*PL3 + TL4*PL4 = 0.12 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.29 = 29 %

This person have a 29 % probability to receive a speeding​ ticket

Which equation represents a linear function?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

y-2=-5(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equations given are:

y-2=-5(x - 2)\\X+ 7 = -4(X + 8)\\y - 3 = y(x + 4)\\y + 9 = x(x - 1)

Now, a linear function is of the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' and 'b' are real numbers and m\ne0

Equation 1: y-2=-5(x - 2)

Simplifying using distributive property, we get:

y-2=-5x+10\\y=-5x+10+2\\y=-5x+12

The above equation is of the form y=mx+b. So, it represents a linear function.

Equation 2: X+ 7 = -4(X + 8)

Here, both sides of the equation has same variable 'X'. So, it will form an equation of 1 variable. So, it's not a linear function.

Equation 3: y - 3 = y(x + 4)

Simplifying the above equation. This gives,

y-3=yx+4y\\y-4y-yx=3\\y(1-4-x)=3\\y(-3-x)=3\\y=\frac{3}{(-3-x)}

This is not of the form of the linear function. So, it is also not a linear function.

Equation 4: y + 9 = x(x - 1)

Simplifying the above equation. This gives,

y+9=x^2-x\\y=x^2-x-9

This is not of the form of the linear function. So, it is also not a linear function.
