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

If you're good at logarithms please help me with question two d and h thanks
Alik [6]

Answer:

d. -0.301

h. 1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Loga0.5 = loga2^-1

= -1(loga2)

       = -1 (0.301)

= -0.301

Loga24 = loga(2^3 x 3)

= loga2^3 + loga3

= 3 (loga2) + loga3

       = 3 (0.301) + (0.477)

       = 1.38

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a number cube and then spinning an
oee [108]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 numbers greater than 4 on a die (5 and 6).

A spinner divided into 12 equal sectors numbered 1 through 12 has 6 even numbered sectors.

Therefore, the probability is:

P = (2/6) (6/12)

P = 1/6
