4 hours

using the formula

distance = speed × time (t)

the Ford will have travelled 3 × 40 = 120 miles before the Chevy leaves

the Ford's distance can be modelled as

distance = 40t + 120

the Chevy's distance can be modelled as

distance = 70t

equating the right sides and solve for t

70 t = 40t + 120 ( subtract 40t from both sides )

30t = 120 ( divide both sides by 30 )

t = 4

the Chevy catches up with the Ford after 4 hours

For an outdoor concert by the city​ orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 16 comma 000 people will attend if it is not rai
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:  13300

========================================

Work Shown:

A = event that it rains

B = event that it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30

P(B) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.30 = 0.70

Multiply the attendance figures with their corresponding probabilities

  • if it rains, then 7000*P(A) = 7000*0.30 = 2100
  • if it doesn't rain, then 16000*P(B) = 16000*0.70 = 11200

Add up the results: 2100+11200 = 13300

This is the expected value. This is basically the average based on the probabilities. The average is more tilted toward the higher end of the spectrum (closer to 16000 than it is to 7000) because there is a higher chance that it does not rain.
