Answer:

The probability that they will both be on time is 12/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

John is late 20% of the time.

So, he is prompt 80% of the time.

Ted is late 40% of the time.

So, he is prompt 60% of the time.

Since, both the events are independent,

p(John be on time ∩ Ted be on time) = p(John be on time) × p(Ted be on time)

= \frac{80}{100} × \frac{60}{100}

= 0.80 × 0.60

= 0.48 or 48%

=\frac{12}{25}

Hence, the probability that they will both be on time is 12/25.

Natalka [10]
175000 / 100 = 1750  this step finds 1% of 175000
1750 x 4.5 = 7875  this step finds 4.5% of 175000
Commission for first house $7875
199000 / 100 = 1990  this step finds 1% of 199000
1990 x 4.5 = 8955  this step finds 4.5% of 199000
Commission for second house $8955
$7875 + $8955 = $16,830

Kensho's commission for this quarter is $16,830

A sample of any given pure element is composed only of the atoms characteristic of that element, and the atoms of each element are unique. For example, the atoms that constitute carbon are different from those that make up iron, which are in turn different from those of gold. Every element is designated by a unique symbol consisting of one, two, or three letters arising from either the current element name or its original (often Latin) name. For example, the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are simply C, H, and O, respectively. The symbol for iron is Fe, from its original Latin name ferrum. The fundamental principle of the science of chemistry is that the atoms of different elements can combine with one another to form chemical compounds. Methane, for example, which is formed from the elements carbon and hydrogen in the ratio four hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom, is known to contain distinct CH4 molecules. The formula of a compound—such as CH4—indicates the types of atoms present, with subscripts representing the relative numbers of atoms (although the numeral 1 is never written).<span /></span></span><span><span>
