The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that

he must stop at the first signal is 0.36, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.51, and the probability that he must stop at least one of the two signals is 0.67.What is theprobability that he must stop.
a) At both signals?
b) At the first signal but not at the second one?
c) At exactly on signal?

Answer:

a) P(X∩Y) = 0.2

b) P_1 = 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 P_1 that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one can be calculated as:

P_1 = P(X) - P(X∩Y)

P_1 = 0.36 - 0.2 = 0.16

At the same way, the probability P_2 that he must stop at the second signal but not at the first one can be calculated as:

P_2 = P(Y) - P(X∩Y)

P_2 = 0.51 - 0.2 = 0.31

So, the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal is:

P = P_1+P_2\\P=0.16+0.31\\P=0.47

Melanie eats 1.5 pounds of cereal each week. Which model below best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats in .5 wee
Katena32 [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of weeks
 y: amount of cereal that Melanie eats
 We now write the function that models the problem:
 y = 1.5x

 Then, for 5 weeks we have:
 y = 1.5 (5)

y = 7.5 pounds
 Answer:
 
A model that best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats is:
 
y = 1.5x

 For 5 weeks we have:
 
y = 7.5 pounds

What is the 23rd term of the arithmetic sequence where a1 = 8 and a9 = 48?
joja [24]

Answer:

23rd term of the arithmetic sequence is 118.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have been given first term a1 = 8 and 9th term a9 = 48

we have to find the 23rd term of this arithmetic sequence.

Since in an arithmetic sequence

T_{n}=a+(n-1)d

here a = first term

n = number of term

d = common difference

since 9th term a9 = 48

48 = 8 + (9-1)d

8d = 48 - 8 = 40

d = 40/8 = 5

Now T_{23}= a + (n-1)d

= 8 + (23 -1)5 = 8 + 22×5 = 8 + 110 = 118

Therefore 23rd term of the sequence is 118.
