Answer:

0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the arrival time of a professor to her office is uniformly distributed in the interval between 8 and 9 A.M.

If the professor did not arrive till 8.20 he will arrive between 8.21 and 8.40

Hence probability for arriving after 8.20 is 1/40

Prob he arrives at exactly 8.21 is 1/60

To find the probability that professor will arrive in the next minute given that she has not arrived by 8: 20.

= Prob that the professor arrives at 8.21/Prob he has not arrived by 8.20

This is conditional probability and hence

= P(professor arrives at 8.21)/P(professor arrives after 8.20)\\= \frac{\frac{1}{60} }{\frac{40}{60} } \\=\frac{1}{40} \\=0.025

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is 180 degrees. This means that we can use the equation

60+x+124=180

Simplify:

184+x=180

x= -4

We can check this answer by plugging it back in:

60 + (-4) +124 =180

180=180

I hope this helps!
