Answer:

Question 1: The probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs on time:

  • <u> 3/4</u>

Question 2: The probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs late

  • <u>7 / 52</u>

Explanation:

A two-way table is very good to deal with these kind of probability questions because helps you to determine the every subset.

I will guide you on how to build the two-way table.

Identify the possible sets. These are:

  • Buses operated within a particular town (100)
  • Buses that run on time
  • Buses that run late
  • Buses owned by Jerry
  • Buses not owned by Jerry.

With that, you start to build your table:

<u>1. Start</u>

                                       Run on time         Run late        Total

Owned by Jerry

Not owned by Jerry

Total                                                                                      100

Now, lets fill using each statement:

<u>2. 48 usually run on time</u>

                                          Run on time         Run late        Total

Owned by Jerry                                                                

Not owned by Jerry

Total                                          48                                         100

<u>3. 36 of these are owned by Jerry:</u>

                                          Run on time         Run late        Total

Owned by Jerry                      36

Not owned by Jerry

Total                                        48                                            100

<u />

<u>4. Of the 52 buses that usually run behind, only 7 are owned by Jerry:</u>

                                          Run on time         Run late        Total

Owned by Jerry                      36                        7                  43

Not owned by Jerry

Total                                         48                       52               100

You may even fill the second row, but you will not need it to answer the questions.

<u>5. Complete the table using differences:</u>

                                          Run on time         Run late        Total

Owned by Jerry                      36                        7                  43

Not owned by Jerry                12                        45                57

Total                                        48                        52               100

<u>6. Answer the questions:</u>

<u>Question 1</u>: The probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs on time:

  • Probability of an event = # favorable outcomes / # total outcomes

  • Probability that a bus owned by Jerry, given that it runs late = # buses owned by Jerry that runs on time / # buses that run on time = 36 / 48 = 3/4

<u>Question 2</u>: The probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs late

  • Probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs late = # buses owned by Jerry that run late / # buses that run late = 7 / 52

When placed end to end, three red rods are 2 cm longer than than 2 blue rods. Three blue rods are 2 cm longer than four red rods
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Red = 10 cm, blue = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the length of each red rod be </em><em>r </em><em>and each blue rod be </em><em>b</em>

<u>Then we have:</u>

  • 3r - 2b = 2
  • 3b - 4r = 2

<u>Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by 2:</u>

  • 9r - 6b = 6
  • 6b - 8r = 4

<u>Add the equations to eliminate one of variables:</u>

  • 9r - 8r = 6 + 4
  • r = 10 cm

<u>Find the value of b:</u>

  • 3*10 -2b = 2
  • 30 - 2 = 2b
  • 2b = 28
  • b = 14 cm

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters greater than 2 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 30 meters.What is the le
faust18 [17]

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that  w = width of the rectangle, to start. If the length of the rectangle is 3 meters greater than 2 times the width, the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 + 2w.  

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2 * length of rectangle + 2 * width of the rectangle. With the perimeter being equal to 30 and width being w and length being 2w+3:

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(w) + 2(2w+3) = 30.  

We first need to find out w first, which will give us the width of the rectangle. Taking it step by step, we get:

2w + 4w + 6 = 30

6w + 6= 30

6w = 24 which is done by subtracting both sides by 6 to put the variables on one side and the values on the other side

w = 4 which is done by dividing 6 on both sides

Ultimately, this gets width to be 4 meters. Now that we found the width, we need to plug w = 4 into the equation we set up for length which is 2w+3.

That being said, the ANSWER is:

length of rectangle = 2(4)+3 = 11 meters

Hope this helps! :)

In March Tom had -£165 in his bank account. In April he had -£156. In which month did he have the least amount of money in his a
Flura [38]
March = -165
April = -156

In march he is negative MORE money, meaning he has MORE money in April

This question is trying to confuse you, ussually the lowest number means less, but these numbers are negative, so the lowest number means more.
He has the least amount of money in March
