There is a traffic light at the intersection of Walnut Street and Lawrence Avenue. The traffic light on Walnut Street follows a

cycle. It is green for 50 seconds, yellow for 10 seconds, and red for 30 seconds. As you travel along Walnut and approach the intersection, what is the probability that the first color you see is red?

From the given above, we calculate for the total cycle time by adding up all the durations given for the yellow light, red light, and green. That is,
    total time = 30 s + 10 s + 50 s = 90s
Hence, the total time is equal to 90 s. From this, we calculate for the probability that the first light that will be seen is a red light by dividing the duration of the red light in the cycle by the total time. 
 Probability = (30 seconds) / (90 seconds) 
                   = 1/3

Therefore, the probability that the red light will be seen first is equal to 1/3. The answer is second choice.

PLZ HELP STUCK ON THIS QUESTION 4a + 6b = 24 6a - 12b = -6 Given the equations what is the value of a+b? PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAI
Paul [167]

Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

An auto insurance company has 10,000 policyholders. Each policy is defined as: young or old male or female; and married or singl
Blababa [14]

Answer:

880

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem a bit annoying, but let's classify the numbers and see where we can get from there:

Total = 10,000

Young = 3,000

Old = 7,000 (not young defined as 10,000 - 3,000)

Male = 4,600

Female = 5,400

Married = 7,000

Single = 3,000

Young Males = 1,320

Young Females = 3,000 (young) - 1,320  = 1,680

Married Males = 3,010

Married Females = 7,000 - 3,010 = 2,990

Young Married = 1,400

Young Married Males = 600

Young Married Females = 1,400 - 600 = 800

Young Female Single = ?

Young Female = 1,680 from above.  But not all of them are single.

Young Married Females = 800 from above

Young Female Single = Young Female - Young Married Females = 1,680 - 800 = 880
