Let's consider the time as a discrete variable with an increment of 1 minute. You arrive at a bus stop at 10 AM, knowing that th

e bus will arrive at some time uniformly distributed between 10 and 10:30.
(a) What is the probability that you will have to wait longer than 10 minutes?
(b) If, at 10:10, the bus has not yet arrived, what is the probability that you will have to wait at least an additional 10 minutes?

Answer:

a) 2/3

b) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random event that measures the time you will have to wait.  

Since time is uniformly distributed between 10 and 10:30 in intervals of 1 minute

P(n < X ≤ n+1) = 1/30 for every minute n=0,1,...29.

a)

P( X > 10) = 1 - P(X ≤ 10) = 1 - 10/30 = 2/3

b)

P(10 <  X ≤ 20) = (20-10)/30 = 1/3

Write the equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Hey there!!

What is slope-intercept form :

... y = mx + b

( a ) Given :

... ( 2 , -2 ) and slope=1.4

... y = mx + b

... -2 = 2×1.4 + b

... -2 = 2.8 + b

... -4.8 = b

The slope-intercept form :

... y = 1.4x - 4.8

( b ) Given :

... ( -1 , 4 ) and slope = -3.

y = mx + b

... 4 = -3×-1 + b

... 4 = 3 + b

... 1 = b

The slope-intercept form :

... y = -3x + 1

Note :

( m = slope and b = y-intercept )

Hope my answer helps!!

Natalie paid $20.7 for 3 small pizzas and a salad which was $3.
zysi [14]
20.70=3p+3
17.70=3p
$5.90=p
So if you only needed the equation to describe the word problem it is
$20.70=3p+3

If you want to know how much each pizza was it is $5.90; salad $3.00
