It is given in the question that
Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.
Maximum she can spend is $200. That is
And
And that's the required inequalities .
Answer:
The correct answer is 0.94147
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A denote the event that the podiatrist finds the first person with an ingrown toenail.
And (1 - A) denote the event that the podiatrist does not find the ingrown toenail.
While examining seven people, the podiatrist can find the very first person to have an ingrown toenail. Similarly he can find the second patient to have the ingrown toenail. Going in this way the probability of the first person to have an ingrown toenail is given by:
= A + (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A.
=
=
= 0.94147
We can also solve the above expression by using the geometric progression formula as well where common ratio is given by .
