First one is $16 and the second is $276.25
Let's forget for the tie being the cost ($3.5)of the 1st fifth of a mile:
Taxi charge excluding $3.5, is $13.95 - $3.5 = $10.45.
If each of the 5th (1/5) of a mile costs $0.55, then with $10.45 we can drive:
10.45/0.55 = 19 fifth of a mile. Add to that the 1st fifth = 20 fifth of a mile
20 fifth = 20 x 1/5 = 4 miles (answer)
Answer:
the probability that Ron will get hit by a pitch exactly once is 36.71%
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable X= number of times Ron is hits by pitches in 23 plate appearances follows ,a binomial distribution. Where
P(X=x) = n!/(x!*(n-x)!)*p^x*(1-p)^x
where
n= plate appearances =23
p= probability of being hit by pitches = 21/602
x= number of successes=1
then replacing values
P(X=1) = 0.3671 (36.71%)
Use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 9, b = x, c = 18
9^2 + x^2 = 18^2
81 + x^2 = 324
x^2 = 243
x = 15.58846
Round to nearest tenth
Solution: x = 15.6
The answer is 4/17 or 0.235
