Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of being late for Art class be a = 0.5 and the probability of being on time for Art class be b = 1 - a = 0.5

Let the probability of being late for Calculus class be c = 0.4 and the probability of being on time for Calculus class be d = 1 - a = 0.6

Probability of being on time in exactly one of the classes = Probability of being ((on time for Art and late for Calculus) or (on time for Calculus and late for art))

= (b × c) + (d × a) = (0.5 × 0.4) + (0.6 × 0.5) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

Your math teacher gives you an extra credit problem to figure out her age. Half of her age three years
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Teacher is 27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)(t - 3) = (1/3)(t + 9)

multiply by 6 to clear the fraction

3(t - 3) = 2(t + 9)

Distribute

3t - 9 = 2t + 18

Subtract 2t from both sides

t - 9 = 18

Add 9 to both sides

t = 27

Teacher is 27 years old
