Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The lecture has already begun when the student arrives means one of these scenarios happen:  

1) the class started at 5:10 and the student arrives at 5:11 or 5:12 or 5:13 or 5:14

2) the class started at 5:11 and the student arrives at 5:12 or 5:13 or 5:14

3) the class started at 5:12 and the student arrives at 5:13 or 5:14

Given student time of arrival is uniformly distributed, then the probability he/she arrives at 5:09 or 5:10 or 5:11 or 5:12 or 5:13 or 5:14 is 1/6.

So,  the probability that the student arrives between 5:11 and 5:14 is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3.

The probability that the student arrives between 5:12 and 5:14 is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/2.

The probability that the student arrives at 5:13 or 5:14  is 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3.

Given class starting time is uniformly distributed, then the probability it starts at 5:10 or  5:11 or 5:12 is 1/3.

Given the two events are independent, the probability of the first scenario is: (1/3)*(2/3) = 2/9

For the second scenario:  (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6

For the third scenario:  (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9

Because all of these scenarios are mutually exclusive the total probability of one of them happen is: 2/9 + 1/6 + 1/9 = 1/2

If a company issues bonus shares, what is the most likely effect on its debt-equity ratio?
Lena [83]

Answer:

If a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Free additional shares offered to existing shareholders is known as a bonus issue.

Bonus issues are given to shareholders when companies are short of cash and shareholders expect a regular income. It may also be issued to restructure company reserves.

However, issuing bonus shares does not involve cash flow. It increases the company’s share capital but not its net assets.

Since bonus issues only increase the number of shares a shareholder is holding but not the ratio/percentage of holding. Thus, if a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

A big lockers above a smaller locker they both have 0.5 m wide and 0.6 m deep Big lockers 1.2 m tall and small lockers half of t
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.54\,\,m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimensions of a big locker are 0.5 m × 0.6 m × 1.2 m

Dimensions of a small locker are 0.5 m × 0.6 m × \frac{1.2}{2}=0.6\,\,m (as height of small locker is half the height of big locker )

To find: total volume of one big locker and one small locker

Solution:

Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Total volume of one big locker and one small locker = Total volume of one big locker + total volume of one small locker

= 0.5\times 0.6\times 1.2+0.5\times 0.6\times 0.6

=0.5\times 0.6\left ( 1.2+0.6 \right )\\=0.3(1.8)\\=0.54\,\,m^3

How do I find the midpoint
Hunter-Best [27]

To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.
