Answer:

a) P(C∩T) = 0.05

b) P(C) = 0.55

c) P(C) + P(T) = 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

60% of the customers require an oil change

20% require tire rotation

75% of customers require at least one of these services.

So,

Let C represent customers that requires oil change and

T represent customers that requires tire rotation.

P(C) + P(C∩T) = 60% = 0.6 .......1

P(T) + P(C∩T) = 20% = 0.2. .......2

P(C) + P(T) + P(C∩T) = 75% = 0.75 .....3

a) the probability that the customer needs both services P(C∩T).

From eqn 1 , 2 , 3 above.

P(C∩T) = eqn 1 + eqn 2 - eqn 3

P(C∩T) = 0.60 + 0.20 - 0.75

P(C∩T) = 0.05 or 5%

b) from eqn 1:

P(C) = 0.60 - P(C∩T)

P(C) = 0.60 - 0.05

P(C) = 0.55 or 55%

c) the probability that a customer will want exactly one of the two services P(C) + P(T).

Adding eqn 1 and 2 we have;

P(C) + P(T) + 2 P(C∩T) = 0.60 +0.20

P(C) + P(T) = 0.80 - 2P(C∩T)

P(C) + P(T) = 0.80 -2(0.05) = 0.70 or 70%

Answer:

a. 5%

b. 55%

c. 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The probability of customer wanting both services (P(O&T)) is:

P(O)+P(T)+P(O\&T) = 0.75\\P(O)+P(O\&T) =0.60\\P(T)+P(O\&T) = 0.20\\P(O)+P(T)+P(O\&T) -[P(O)+P(T)+2P(O\&T)]=0.75 -(0.60-0.20)\\P(O\&T)=0.05=5\%

The probability is 5%

b. The probability that the customer will need an oil change, but not a tire rotation (P(O)) is :

P(O)+P(O\&T) = 0.60\\P(O\&T) = 0.05\\P(O) =0.60-0.05 = 0.55 = 55\%

The probability is 55%

c. The probability that the customer will want exactly one of these two services (P(O)+P(T)) is:

P(O)+P(T)+P(O\&T) = 0.75\\P(O\&T) = 0.05\\P(O)+P(T) =0.75-0.05 = 0.70 = 70\%

The probability is 70%

PLZZZZZZ DONT SCROLLL HELP A SOUL OUT
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

K(8, 6) and J(-4, -3)

Distance between 2 points

=  \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  +  {(y1 - y2)}^{2} }

Thus using the formula above,

distance between points J and K

=  \sqrt{ {[8- (-4)]}^{2}  +  {[6- (-3)]}^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {12}^{2}  +  {9}^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{225}  \\  = 15 \: units

Teri has $6 less than does her sister, Jennie, who has x dollars. Teri
elixir [45]

The expression for the amount of money, in dollars, Teri has is x-2.

Since Jennie has x dollars while Teri has $6 less than does Jennie, this means that Teri will have: x - 6

Since Teri does not spend any money and earns $4, the the total amount that Teri has will be:

= x - 6 + 4

= x - 2

Therefore, Teri has x-2.

Spring stretches by 21.0 cm when a 135 n object is attached. what is the weight of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1
Marta_Voda [28]
Caution:  you need to use the same units of measurement throughout.  If the spring stretches by 21 cm when a 135 newton object is attached, then you must ask for the mass (in newtons) of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.

We will need to assume that the spring is not stretched at all if and when no object is attached to the spring.

Write the ratio

                21.0 cm        135 newtons
               ------------- = --------------------
                 62.1 cm               x

Solve this for x.  This x value represents the mass of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.  You can cancel "cm" in the equation above:

21.0      135 newtons
------ = --------------------
62.1               x

Then 21.0x = (62.1)(135 newtons).  Divide both sides of this equation by 21.0 to solve it for x.
