Police plan to enforce speed limits by using radar traps at four different locations within the city limits. The radar traps at

each of the locations L1, L2, L3, and L4 will be operated 40%, 30%, 20%, and 30% of the time. If a person who is speeding on her way to work has probabilities of 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively, of passing through these locations, what is the probability that she will receive a speeding ticket?

Answer:

The probability that the person gets a speeding ticket is 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the person receives a speeding ticket is the probability that the person passes through any of the speed limits and the radar is operating at that time.

Let P(L_1) is the probability that the person passes through radar L_{1} and it is operating at that time is

P(L_{1})=P(1)\times P(2)

Where

P(1) is the probability of person passes through L_{1}

P(2) is probability that the radar is operating

P(L_1)=0.2\times 0.4=0.08

Similarly the probabilities are calculated for other radars in the similar manner as

P(L_2)=0.1\times 0.3=0.03

P(L_3)=0.5\times 0.2=0.1

P(L_4)=0.2\times 0.3=0.06

Thus the reuired probability of the reuired event is

P(E)=P(L_1)+P(L_2)+P(L_3)+P(L_4)\\\\P(E)=0.08+0.03+0.1+0.06=0.27

1) √3 √7 = √21
2) √5 √245 = √5 √5 * 49 = √5 * 7√5 = 7 √5 * 5 = 7 √25 = 7 * 5 = 35
3) √77 ÷ √11 = as is. can't be simplified.
4) (√59)² = 59 ; the square root was cancelled by squared.
5) 3√6 x 8√7 = 3 * 8 √6 * 7 = 24 √42
6) 5√3 x 6 √3 = 5 * 6 √3 * 3 = 30 √9 = 30 * 3 = 90
7) 40√30 ÷ 5√3 = (40 / 5) * (√30 /√3) = 8 * ((√3 *10) / √3) = 8 √10
8) (6√5)² = 6² * √5² = 36 * 5 = 180

Can someone smart help me with this plz:)
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of all angles of triangle = 180°

6p + 6p + 3 p = 180

15p = 180

p = 180/15

p = 12

Angles are:

6p = 6*12 = 72°

3p = 3*12 = 36°

Angles are: 72°, 72° , 36°

What is the solution to 6x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1) Divide 6 and 4 (the last 2 numbers) and bring everything else down

<em>6x^24x+2x+4</em>

Step 2) Place in parentheses

<em>(6x^24x)+(2x+4)</em>

Step 3) Figure out what you can take out of each parentheses.

**In the first one, you can take out 6x because both numbers have x and 6 is the largest number 6 and 24 can go into.**

**In the second one, you can only take out 2 because 2 is the largest number that goes into 2 and 4.**

Step 4) You will know you did it correctly when the parentheses match up

<em>6x(x+4) + 2(x+4)</em> <<< this is how it should look

Answer: <em>(6x+2)(x+4)</em>
