A consumer organization estimates that over a​ 1-year period 15​% of cars will need to be repaired​ once, 9​% will need repairs​

twice, and 4​% will require three or more repairs. If you own two​ cars, what is the probability that ​a) neither will need​ repair? ​b) both will need​ repair? ​c) at least one car will need​ repair?

Answer:

a) The probability that neither will need repair is 51.84%

b) The probability that both will need repair is 7.84%

c) The probability that at least one car will need repair is 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability that neither will need repair is 51.84%

(100 – 15 – 9 – 4)/100 * (100 – 15 – 9 – 4)/100  

(72/100) * (72/100)

5,184 / 10,000 = 0.5184 in decimals and 51.84%  

b) The probability that both will need repair is 7.84%

(15 + 9 + 4)/100 * (15 + 9 + 4)/100  

(28/100) * (28/100)

784/ 10,000 = 0.0784 in decimals and 7.84%  

c) The probability that at least one car will need repair is 56%

(15 + 9 + 4)/100 + (15 + 9 + 4)/100  

(28/100) + (28/100)

56/ 100 = 0.56 in decimals and 56%  

To calculate probabilities of two or more events are two rules: the sum and the product. The sum rule is used to calculate the probability of two or more events that cannot occur at the same time or are dependent. For example, the probability of having a 2 or a 3 when you throw a six-sided dice is 33%.

P (2) + P (3) = P

1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 in fraction; 0.33 in decimals; 33% in percentage

 

On the other hand, the product rule is used to calculate the probability of two or more event that can occur at the same time or are independent. For example, the probability of having a 2 in both dices when you throw two six-sided dices is 2.78%.

P (2 in first dice) x P (2 in second dice) = P

1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 in fraction; 0.0278 in decimals; 2.78% in percentage

Finally, you can use both rules. For example, the probability of having a 2 or a 3 in both dices when you throw two six-sided dices is 2.78%.

P (in first dice) x P (in second dice) = P

(1/6 + 1/6) * (1/6 + 1/6) = P

(2/6) * (2/6) = P

(1/3) * (1/3) = P

P = 1/9 in fraction; 0.111 in decimals; 11.11% in percentage

The equation P = 16,250 + 75n can be used to determine the population, P, of a city after n years. Which statements are true? Se
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

15000+1250x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial population is 15,000, we want to know how many people are going to Jonesville each year.  Assuming that in 2001 and in 2002, each year adds 1,250 people and that it is constant.  The equation is 15000+1250x in which 15,000 represents the initial number and 1250 is the amount of people added each year followed by x which is the number in years.

A sum has five addends. Each addend is a unit fraction. The sum is 1. What are the addends?
Bogdan [553]
I would assume 1/5 is your answer. As 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5 = 5/5 which is 1.

When the points below are connected, they will form triangle ABC. Show and state whether this triangle has a right angle or not.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

See explanartions below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates A(-6,3) B(0,5) C(2,-1)

We first need to get the slope of AB, BC and AC

For AB;

A(-6,3) B(0,5)

Mab = 5-3/0-(-6)

Mab = 2/6

Mab = 1/3

For BC;

B(0,5) C(2,-1)

Mbc = -1-5/2-0

Mbc = -6/2

Mc = -3

For AC:

A(-6,3) C(2,-1)

Mac = -1-3/2-(-6)

MAc = -4/8

Mac = -1/2

Taking the product of Mab and Mbc

Mab * Mbc = 1/3 + -3

Mab * Mbc = -1

<em>Since the product of Mab and Mbc is -1, hence AB abd BC are perpendicular showing that one of the angle of triangle ABC is 90 degrees</em>
