The common minimum of those three numbers is 120.
The answer to your question is y=-7
I got 16,000 tubes are sold in half a day because there are 720 minutes in 12 hours, and 43,200 seconds in 720 minutes then you divide by 2.7 and get 16,000
Answer:
a) P=0.0175
b) P=0.0189
Step-by-step explanation:
For both options we have to take into account that not only the chance of a "superevent" will disable both suppliers.
The other situation that will disable both is that both suppliers have their "unique-event" at the same time.
As they are, by definition, two independent events, we can calculate the probability of having both events at the same time as the product of both individual probabilities.
a) Then, the probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 1 is

b) The probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 2:

Pue = probability of a unique event
Pse = probability of a superevent
Let the speed of walking of James = x mile/hour
speed of jogging = 2x mile/hour
9/2x + 1.5/x = 2
or, (9 + 3)/2x = 2
or, 12 = 4x
or, x = 3
Average speed of walking = 3 mile/hour
Average speed of jogging = 2 * 3 = 6 mile/hour
