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

A shop makes a profit of £2750 in March.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

15% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

2750... 10% of that is 275, add 275 to 2750 is 3025. 1% of 2750 is 27.50, you times that by 5, which is 137.50 and add that to 3025 giving you 3162.50, add the 10% with the 5% gives you 15%, that's the increase.

Answer:

325 miles and 77 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create equations. Let x equal the miles driven. The first plan expression  is 38 + 0.12x and the second plan expression is 51 + 0.08x. Setting these equal and solve for x: 38 + 0.12x = 51 + 0.08x -> 0.04x = 13 -> x = 325 miles.

The cost is found by substituting it into any of the expressions: 51 + 0.08(325) = 77 or 38 + 0.12(325) = 77
