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

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

₹ 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's salary =₹ 30000

  • one-tenth of her salary to an orphanage= 1/10*₹ 30000= ₹ 3000
  • one-third of her salary is spent on food= 1/3*₹ 30000= ₹ 10000
  • one-fourth of salary on rent and electricity =1/4*₹ 30000= ₹ 7500
  • one-twentieth of her salary on the telephone= 1/12*₹ 30000= ₹ 2500
  • donated some amount to the Prime Minister's relief fund = x
  • She was left with ₹ 3000.

x= ₹ 30000- (₹ 3000+₹ 10000+₹ 7500+₹ 2500+₹ 3000)= ₹ 4000

Solve the proportion.<br> 4<br> y<br> =<br> 7<br> ?<br> y =
Leni [432]

Answer:

y=28/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so for this we can use cross- multiplication. Basically, the product of the numerator of the first number and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the denominator of the first and the numerator of the second.

What I mean is: 4*7=5*y

so,

28=5y

y=28/5
