105 m = 2.5 h

x miles = 1 hour

You cross multiply since it's a proportion:
2.5 * x
105 * 1

=

2.5x = 105

Then you divide everything by 2.5

The answer is 42

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card an

poizon [28]

Answer:

We have that $B = 0.3$ .

$0.3 = b + (A \cap B)$

However, b is a probability, which means that it cannot be negative. So no, P(A ∩ B) cannot be 0.5. It can, at most, be 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event A:

Probability that a student has a Visa card.

Event B:

Probability that the student has a MasterCard.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student has a Visa card but not a MasterCard and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student has both these cards.
