The first step is to define the system of equations.
Take x and y as the cost of a small box and a large box respectively.
Solve the system.
A small box costs $4 and a large box costs $4 too.
Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)
Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875
A point represents a location. A coordinate on a plane .
The intersection of two planes is a line.
Answer:
(1/4) hr/mile
Step-by-step explanation:
4 mph can be rewritten using other units of measurement:
Suppose we convert 'miles' to 'feet:'
Then:
4 miles 5280 ft
---------- * ------------- = 21120 ft/hr
1 hr 1 mile
Note that we could invert 4 mph and obtain
1 hr
-------- or (1/4) hr/mile
4 mi
