The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.
Answer:
For 1,000 bricks, the amount charged will be the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of bricks for which they charge the same amount be $x
Thus;
The total cost from the first company will
be;
250 + 0.2(x) = 250 + 0.2x
The second will charge;
400 + 0.05(x) = 400 + 0.05x
Since the amount charged will be equal at x bricks, we need to equate both;
400 + 0.05x = 250 + 0.2x
400-250 = 0.2x-0.05x
150 = 0.15x
x = 150/0.15
x = 1,000
