Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the person to get to New York city, the person must arrive at a time after the train to Boston has left and before the train to New York leaves. Between 7 and 8 am, there is a total of 60 minutes. For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:05 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00

Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8 am, hence:

P(goes to New York) = P(5 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) = 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 = 40/60 = 2/3

b) As explained in part A, Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8:10 am. But since time uniformly distributed between 7:10 and 8:10 am, this means 10 < X < 70:

For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:10 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00 or 8:05 to 8:10

P(goes to New York) = P(10 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) + P(65< X <70)= 5/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 5/60= 40/60 = 2/3

Solve the linear equation: <br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%5E%7B2x%2B7%7D%20%3D%208%5E%7B2x-3%7D" id="TexFormula1"

Answer:

  x = 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm base 2 will transform this to a linear equation.

  2(2x+7) = 3(2x -3)

  0 = 3(2x -3) -2(2x +7) . . . . subtract the left side

  0 = 2x -23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0 = x - 23/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  11.5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11.5

The solution is x = 23/2 = 11.5.

_____

<em>Check</em>

This value of x makes the equation become ...

  4^(2·23/2 +7) = 8^(2·23/2 -3)

  4^30 = 8^20 . . . . . true
