Answer:
1. Equal. 2. 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 16 = 96 + 11= 117
3/4 x 2000 = 1500
Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)
Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875
The answer is (b) y = 3x + 1
The balance would be 1,500$.
1,500 divided by 5 is 300. So they would have to make five payments of 300$.
