1 answer:
Answer:
a. Distance = 400 - 200t
b. see attached graph
c. A travelled 180 km, B travelled 220 km, both took 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
distance = 400
A = 90 km/h
B = 110 km/h
A & B drive towards each other
Solutions
a) equation
Let
t = elapsed time in hours,
D(t) = distance between two drivers
D(t) = 400 - (A+B) t
D(t) = 400 - 200t ......................(1)
b. graph : for graph, see attached figure.
c. Distance and time
Time:
solve for t with the distance D(t) = 0 using equation (1)
0 = 400 - 200 t
200t = 400
t = 2 hours
distance travelled by A = 2 hours * 90 km/h = 180 km
distance travelled by B = 2 hours * 110 km/h = 220 km

Answer:
1) The probability that the second apple is red is 0.7143 (71.43%).
2) The probability that at least one red apple is picked 0.9341 (93.41%).
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make a probability tree as the attached picture.
1) There are 2 ways in the probability tree when the second apple is red:
Both apples are red:
P(R∩R)==0.4945
Only the second apple is red:
P(Y∩R)==0.2198
The probability that the second apple is red is the sum of the previous probabilities.
P(2nd R)=P(R∩R)+P(Y∩R)=0.4945+0.2198=0.7143
2) To find the probability that at least one apple is red, we can get the probability of none of the apples is red and then it will be subtracted from 1.
The way in the probability tree is Y∩Y:
P(Y∩Y)==0.0659
P(at least 1 R)= 1-P(Y∩Y)=1-0.0659=0.9341
