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

99 POINTS PLS HELP Write the equation in slope-intercept form. 4x + 3y = 15
Kisachek [45]

To write in slope intercept form solve the equation for y:

4x + 3y =15

Subtract 4x from both sides:

3y = -4x +15

Now get Y by itself by divide all terms by 3:

y = -4/3x + 5

Recall that rational numbers are numbers that can be represented as the ratio, or fraction, of two integers. When expressed as d
fredd [130]

Answer:

Repeating

Terminating

Repeating

Repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

5 2/7 as improper fraction is 37/7 and it equals 5.28571428571 which makes it repeating because the numbers don't stop.

7/16 is equal to 0.4375 making it terminate because the numbers stop.

14 5/9 as an improper fraction is 131/9 and 131/9 is 14.5555555556 and that is a never ending pattern so it is repeating.

3/22 is equal to 0.13636363636 it is repeating because the numbers never stop.
