Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of cyclist be C and bus be B.

Using the concept of relative speed:-

For incoming bus,speed = B + C

For overtaking bus,speed = B - C

Now,distance travelled b/w 2 incoming bus = (B + C)*4

Now,distance travelled b/w 2 overtaking bus = (B - C)*12

so,

(B + C)*4 = (B - C)*12

or, B=2C

Hence,distance b/w two buses in same direction,d=4*(3/2)B=6 B

Therefore, time gap=d/B=6 minutes

Will mark Brainlest!! <br>Help Please!<br>(1). find the domain and range of the following <br>​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the domain. It is given as -1≤x≤1

Now all you have to do is figure out the range which is the y value. At first glance I think it might be 3, but that does not look very logical. I'll post this much of it now and be back in under an hour with a more complete answer.

Of course! How silly of me. There is a minimum of y = 1 in the range which comes from x = 0

I've included a graph so you can see how this all works.

So the range = 1 ≤ y ≤ 3

The local gym holds three 45-minute workout sessions and two 30-minute sessions each week. Judy attended all of the sessions thi
lbvjy [14]

The local gym holds three 45-minute workout sessions and two 30-minute sessions each week. Then the, total number of minutes Judy worked out for the week was 155 minutes.

We are to determine the total number of minutes Judy worked out for the week.

The gym holds three 45-minute workout sessions and two 30-minute sessions each week

So,

We can write,

The total number of minutes the gym holds workout sessions is

3 × 45 + 2 × 30

= 135 + 60

= 195 minutes

Also, from the information,

Judy left 5 minutes early during the 30-minute sessions and 10 minutes early during the 45-minute sessions.

The total number of minutes Judy didn't attend is

= 3 × 10 + 2 × 5

= 30 + 10

= 40 minutes

Then,

The total number of minutes Judy worked out for the week was,

= 195 minutes - 40 minutes

= 155 minutes

Therefore,

The total number of minutes Judy worked out for the week was 155 minutes.

A certain plant runs three shifts per day. Of all the items produced by the plant, 50% of them are produced on the first shift,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Defective

Event B: Manufactured during the first shift.

Probability of a defective item:

1% of 50%(first shift)

2% of 30%(second shift)

3% of 20%(third shift).

So

P(A) = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.3 + 0.03*0.2 = 0.017

Probability of a defective item being produced on the first shift:

1% of 50%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.01*0.5 = 0.005

What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.005}{0.017} = 0.2941

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.
