Answer:
0.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of stopping at first signal = 0.36 ;
P(stop 1) = P(x) = 0.36
Probability of stopping at second signal = 0.54;
P(stop 2) = P(y) = 0.54
Probability of stopping at atleast one of the two signals:
P(x U y) = 0.6
Stopping at both signals :
P(xny) = p(x) + p(y) - p(xUy)
P(xny) = 0.36 + 0.54 - 0.6
P(xny) = 0.3
Stopping at x but not y
P(x n y') = P(x) - P(xny) = 0.36 - 0.3 = 0.06
Stopping at y but not x
P(y n x') = P(y) - P(xny) = 0.54 - 0.3 = 0.24
Probability of stopping at exactly 1 signal :
P(x n y') or P(y n x') = 0.06 + 0.24 = 0.30
E is 1/2, because 1/2 of 1/2 is 1/4
To find the length of the base, we have to understand that area of triangle:
Base x height/2
Therefore we would multiply the area by 2 and divide by 4 to find the answer:
24x2/4
=48/4
=12
Therefore the answer is 12m.
Hope it helps!
