Answer:

Answer is

a. P (both pumps not available) = 0.016

b. P (both pumps available) = 0.984

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Probability of neither pump is available.

We know that P1 + P2 = 1

P1 = Probability of one pump is available = 0.96

P2 = Probability of a pump not available = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Now the probability of both pump not available will be = P2 x P2

=0.04 x 0.04 = 0.016

b. Probability of both pumps available will be.

Using the equation of probability

P (both pumps available) + P (both pumps unavailable) = 1

P (both pumps available) = (1- P (both pumps unavailable))

P (both pumps available) = 1-0.016

P (both pumps available) = 0.984

A boy has 380 prize tickets he wants to exchange for action figures at a prize booth. At
loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Hi there,

If the boy wants 80 small action figures

that is equivalent to 40 x 7 (as 7 tickets

gives him 2 small action figures)

= 280 tickets.

The 380 tickets he has originally minus the

280 leaves 100 tickets to get 20 large action figures

(100/5)

He will have 80 small and 20 large action figures

80:20 = 4:1

Hope this helps:-)
