Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both in case

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b) The probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c) The probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

D = Dave will show up.

M = Mike will show up.

Given:

$P(D^{c})=0.55\\P(M^{c})=0.45$

It is provided that the events of Dave of Mike showing up are independent of each other.

(a)

Compute the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D\cap M)=P(D)\times P (M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]\times [1-P(M^{c})]\\=[1-0.55]\times[1-0.45]\\=0.2475\\\approx0.25$

Thus, the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of them will show up as follows:

P (At least one of them will show up) = 1 - P (Neither will show up)

$=1-P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})\\=P(D\cup M)\\=P(D)+P(M)-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]+[1-P(M^{c})]-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-0.55]+[1-0.45]-0.25\\=0.75$

Thus, the probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c)

Compute the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up as follows:

$P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})=1-P(D\cup M)\\=1-P(D)-P(M)+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-P(D^{c})]-[1-P(M^{c})]+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-0.55]-[1-0.45]+0.25\\=0.25$

Thus, the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

If You know how to do long division then... You move the decimal that’s outside the house to where it’s not there no more then divide . Or turn the decimals into Fractions and do the reciprocal.

1. The C major key, starting with the middle C, consists of seven notes (white keys on the piano) with the following frequencies

Lorico [155]

1.) the ratio of the note A to middle C = 440.0 / 261.6 = 1.6820 ≈ 1.6818

2.) the ratio of the note D to middle C = 293.7 / 261.6 = 1.1227

3.) D# = 293.6 x 1.0595 = 311.1

4.) the ratio of the frequency of G to C is 1 : 262/392 = 1 : 0.6683 ≈ 3 : 2

5.) the ratio of the frequency of E to C = 1 : 262/330 = 1 : 0.7939 ≈ 5 : 4

6.) The component in a musical note is referred to as the pitch of a sound is the frequency.
