Answer:  40 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         <em>subtracted 0.50x from both sides</em>

0.25x               =              10.00          <em>subtracted 49.95 from both sides</em>

                   x   =    40                        <em>divided 0.25 from both sides</em>

Do you need an explanation of the work shown? The distance can be found by multiplying the rate by the time. as long as you know two of three parts, you can find the missing value. There is no problem shown in the picture?

United Airlines' flights from Denver to Seattle are on time 50 % of the time. Suppose 9 flights are randomly selected, and the n
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

<u><em>a) The probability that exactly 4 flights are on time is equal to 0.0313</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>b) The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is equal to 0.0293</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>c) The probability that at least 8 flights are on time is equal to 0.00586</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posted is incomplete. This is the complete question:

<em>United Airlines' flights from Denver to Seattle are on time 50 % of the time. Suppose 9 flights are randomly selected, and the number on-time flights is recorded. Round answers to 3 significant figures. </em>

<em>a) The probability that exactly 4 flights are on time is = </em>

<em>b) The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is = </em>

<em>c)The probability that at least 8 flights are on time is =</em>

<h2>Solution to the problem</h2>

<u><em>a) Probability that exactly 4 flights are on time</em></u>

Since there are two possible outcomes, being on time or not being on time, whose probabilities do not change, this is a binomial experiment.

The probability of success (being on time) is p = 0.5.

The probability of fail (note being on time) is q = 1 -p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5.

You need to find the probability of exactly 4 success on 9 trials: X = 4, n = 9.

The general equation to find the probability of x success in n trials is:

           P(X=x)=_nC_x\cdot p^x\cdot (1-p)^{(n-x)}

Where _nC_x is the number of different combinations of x success in n trials.

            _nC_x=\frac{x!}{n!(n-x)!}

Hence,

            P(X=4)=_9C_4\cdot (0.5)^4\cdot (0.5)^{5}

                                _9C_4=\frac{4!}{9!(9-4)!}=126

            P(X=4)=126\cdot (0.5)^4\cdot (0.5)^{5}=0.03125

<em><u>b) Probability that at most 3 flights are on time</u></em>

The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is equal to the probabiity that exactly 0 or exactly 1 or exactly 2 or exactly 3 are on time:

         P(X\leq 3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

P(X=0)=(0.5)^9=0.00195313 . . . (the probability that all are not on time)

P(X=1)=_9C_1(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=9(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=0.00390625

P(X=2)=_9C_2(0.5)^2(0.5)^7=36(0.5)^2(0.5)^7=0.0078125

P(X=3)= _9C_3(0.5)^3(0.5)^6=84(0.5)^3(0.5)^6=0.015625

P(X\leq 3)=0.00195313+0.00390625+0.0078125+0.015625=0.02929688\\\\  P(X\leq 3) \approx 0.0293

<em><u>c) Probability that at least 8 flights are on time </u></em>

That at least 8 flights are on time is the same that at most 1 is not on time.

That is, 1 or 0 flights are not on time.

Then, it is easier to change the successful event to not being on time, so I will change the name of the variable to Y.

          P(Y=0)=_0C_9(0.5)^0(0.5)^9=0.00195313\\ \\ P(Y=1)=_1C_9(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=0.0039065\\ \\ P(Y=0)+P(Y=1)=0.00585938\approx 0.00586

Evaluate the given question
Natali5045456 [20]

The value of the given expression is 1/16

<h3>Exponential functions</h3>

Given the exponential function below as shown;

(1/2)^4

This means the product of 1/2 in 4 places. This can be expressed as;

(1/2)^4 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 *1/2

(1/2)^4 = 1/4 * 1/4

(1/2)^4 =1/16

Hence the value of the given expression is 1/16
