Answer:

Most people found the probability of just stopping at the first light and the probability of just stopping at the second light and added them together. I'm just going to show another valid way to solve this problem. You can solve these kinds of problems whichever way you prefer.

There are three possibilities we need to consider:

Being stopped at both lights

Being stopped at neither light

Being stopped at exactly one light

The sum of the probabilities of all of the events has to be 1 because there is a 100% chance that one of these possibilities has to occur, so the probability of being stopped at exactly one light is 1 minus the probability of being stopped at both lights minus the probability of being stopped at neither.

Because the lights are independent, the probability of being stopped at both lights is just the probability of being stopped at the first light times the probability of being stopped at the second light. (0.4)(0.7) = 0.28

The probability of being stopped at neither is the probability of not being stopped at the first light, which is 1-0.4 or 0.6, times the probability of not being stopped at the second light, which is 1-0.7 or 0.3. (0.6)(0.3) = 0.18

The probability at being stopped at exactly one light is 1-0.18-0.28=.54 or 54%.

Jose left the White House and drove toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 40 km/h. Rob left some time later driving
Aleks04 [339]
Let x represent Jose's drived distance and y represent Rob's.
So what you need to do is to solve the equation:
40x=48*5
40x=240
x=240/40=6

So Jose drove for 6 hours before Rob caught him.

Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.53 with bar?
Oxana [17]

I assume that 0.53 with a bar means the decimal fraction in which 3 is repeating.

24/45, 8/15, and 48/90 all result in the same decimal value. Thus, we are simply looking for the one that is fully simplified.

The correct answer is 8/15.

Hope this helps!
