Answer:

  0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability one or the other will solve the problem is ...

  p(A or B) = p(A) + p(B) - p(A&B)

For independent events, ...

  p(A&B) = p(A)p(B)

so, the probability of interest is ...

  p(A or B) = 0.9 + 0.8 - 0.9·0.8 = 0.98

The probability is 0.98 that at least one of the employees will solve the problem.

Given the speeds of each runner below, determine who runs the fastest.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile  in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.
