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

Mrs. Chip bought 2 sheets and a blanket and paid $41. Mrs. Dale bought a sheet and 4 blankets and paid $80.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

  • Sheet = $12
  • Blanket = $17

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the cost of a sheet be s and cost of a blanket be b</u>

  • 2s + b = 41
  • s + 4b = 80

<u>From the first equation we get:</u>

  • b = 41 - 2s

<u>Substitute in the second equation</u>

  • s + 4*(41 - 2s) = 80
  • s + 164 - 8s =  80
  • 7s = 84
  • s = 12

<u>Then</u>

  • b = 41- 2*12 = 17
