Answer:

a) 0.5476

b) 0.0676

c) 0.4524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can conclude that 74% of the cars won't need any repairs over a 1-year period (100 - 20 - 5 - 1 = 74%). And 26% will need at least 1 repair over a 1-year period.

P(car doesn't need repair) = 0.74

P (car needs repair) = 0.26

If you own two cars, the probability that:

<u>a) Neither will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 won't need repair AND car 2 won't need repair.

=P(Car 1 doesn't need repair) x P(Car 2 doesn't need repair)

= 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.5476

The probability that neither will need repair is 0.5476.

<u>b) Both will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 needs repair AND car 2 needs repair.

P(Car 1 needs repair) x P(Car 2 needs repair)

= 0.26 x 0.26 = 0.0676

The probability that both will need repair is 0.0676

<u>c) At least one car will need repair</u>

Car 1 needs repair or Car 2 needs repair or both need repair.

To solve this one, it's easier to use the complement of P(neither needs repair)

1 - P(neither needs repair)

1 - (0.74)(0.74)  = 1 - 0.5476 = 0.4524

The probability that at least one car will need repair is 0.4524

Which matrix represents the system of equations shown below? 2x-y=-6 and x-6y=13​
dezoksy [38]

Answer: D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The first matrix contains the coefficients of the x- and y- values for both equations (top row is the top equation and the bottom row is the bottom equation. The second matrix contains what each equation is equal to.

\begin{array}{c}2x-y\\x-6y\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-1\\1&-6\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\right]

The product will result in the solution for the x- and y-values of the system.
