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

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $9.70. On Sunday three time as many adult tickets as child
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

23 child tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given, we can set up an equation to solve for the number of child tickets sold.  Since there were three times as many adult tickets as child tickets sold, we can assign the variable 'x' to represent the number of child tickets and '3x' to represent the number of adult tickets.  Since we know the cost of each ticket, as well as the total sales, we can set up the following equation:

5.20x + 9.70(3x) = 788.90

Simplify 5.20x + 29.1x = 788.90

Combine like terms:  34.3x = 788.90

Divide both sides by 34.3:  x = 23 child tickets

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's the 8 feet deep hole

Step-by-step explanation:

You're earning 8 dollars so that can't be negative.

Temperature can be negative but it doesn't have the - in front of it.

It would be a confusing question if that's the answer because then you'd be basically guessing at it.

I don't think it's the throw because you can't actually throw in negative/throw backwards for it to be negative.

8 feet hole is the only one that makes sense, since you're going down

Marley is a waitress. On Thursday, she earned $4.60 per hour plus $50.25 in tips. How many hours did she work that day if she ea
ELEN [110]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract value of tips she got that day

87.05 - 50.25 = 36.8

36.8 is the actual payment for her job that day

2. Divide 36.8 with paid/hour (4.6)

36.8 ÷ 4.6 = 8 hours
