Answer:

a)0.08  , b)0.4  , C) i)0.84  , ii)0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P(A) =  professor arrives on time

P(A) = 0.8

P(B) =  Student aarive on time

P(B) = 0.6

According to the question A & B are Independent  

P(A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)

Therefore  

{A}' & {B}' is also independent

{A}' = 1-0.8 = 0.2

{B}' = 1-0.6 = 0.4

part a)

Probability of both student and the professor are late

P(A'∩B') = P(A') . P(B')  (only for independent cases)

= 0.2 x 0.4

= 0.08

Part b)

The probability that the student is late given that the professor is on time

P(\frac{B'}{A}) = \frac{P(B'\cap A)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4\times 0.8}{0.8} = 0.4

Part c)

Assume the events are not independent

Given Data

P(\frac{{A}'}{{B}'}) = 0.4

=\frac{P({A}'\cap {B}')}{P({B}')} = 0.4

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.4 x P({B}')

= 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.16

i)

The probability that at least one of them is on time

P(A\cup B) = 1- P({A}'\cap {B}')  

=  1 - 0.16 = 0.84

ii)The probability that they are both on time

P(A\cap  B) = 1 - P({A}'\cup {B}') = 1 - [P({A}')+P({B}') - P({A}'\cap {B}')]

= 1 - [0.2+0.4-0.16] = 1-0.44 = 0.56

What fraction is equivalent to 30/360?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

30/360 to lowest fraction equivalent

Now, we can write 30 as 3×10

Also, we can write 360 as 36×10

Then, we have

(3×10)/(36×10)

Then, 10 cancel 10, we are left with

3/36

Also we can write 36 as 12×3

Then, we have

3/(12×3)

Also, 3 cancel 3, we are left with

1/12

Then the lowest fraction is 1 / 12

1/12
