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

Given the list of numbers, 3, 2, 6, 3, 9, 5, 12, 7, if the pattern continues, what is the sum of the ninth and tenth numbers?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Every other one beginning with the first 3 adds 3 to the preceding number that has an odd position.

So the odd positions go up 3 6 9 12

And the next odd position is 15 which is the nineth term.

It's hard to tell what the even ones are doing. It could be anything just about. I'm guessing its a 9. So the tenth term is 9.

The sum of 9 and 15 = 24

If someone gives you a more consistent answer, take it.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

11) 49 in.²

13) 4.515 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

11) area of square = (side)²

area = (7 in.)² = 7 in. × 7 in. = 49 in.²

13) area of triangle = base × height/2

area = 4.3 m × 2.1 m / 2 = 4.515 m²
