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

F<br> (<br> x<br> )<br> =<br> 3<br> x<br> −<br> 12<br> f(x)= <br> 3x−12<br> ​
Nina [5.8K]

The inverse of the given function 3x - 12 is determined as f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4.

<h3>What is inverse of a function?</h3>

An inverse of a function is a function that serves to replace another function.

That is, if f(x) produces y, then putting y into the inverse of f produces the 0ut-put x .

Thus, an inverse function or an anti function is defined as a function, which can reverse into another function.

The inverse of the given function; f(x)= 3x − 12 is calculated as follows;

y = 3x - 12

replace y with x and x with y as shown below;

x = 3y - 12

now, solve for y

x + 12 = 3y

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x/3 + 12/3 = 3y/3

x/3 + 4 = y

f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4

Thus, the inverse of the given function 3x - 12 is determined as f⁻¹(x) = x/3 + 4.

Eva's new bunny weighted 1 7/8 pounds when she first got him 4 weeks ago. Now he weighs 2 1/4 pounds. How much weight has Eva's
Serggg [28]

Answer: Eva's dog actually gained 3/8 pounds ( 0.375pounds)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that

old weight = 1 7/8  pounds

New weight = 2 1/4 pounds

weight gained = New weight - Old weight

Step 2

 weight gained = New weight - Old weight

                  2 1/4  pounds - 1 7/8 pounds

      2.25 pounds - 1.875 pounds

         0.375pounds = 3/8 pounds
