Answer:

The data we have is:

the probability that a civil servant own a car is 1/6

Two civil servants are selected at random.

a) The probability that each own a car.

Ok, here we have two events:

Person 1 haves a car.

Person 2 haves a car.

The probability of each of those events is the same, 1/6.

P1 = 1/6

P2 = 1/6

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities.

P = P1*P2 = (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36.

b) Only one has a car.

Suppose that Person 1 has the car and Person 2 has not a car.

The probability for person 1 is 1/6.

And for person 2, is the negation of having a car:

So if we have prob of having a car = 1/6

Then the probability of not having a car is = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

Then we have:

P1 = 1/6

P2 = 5/6.

The joint probability is:

P = P1*P2 = (1/6)*(5/6) = 5/36.

But we also have the case where person 1 does not have a car, and person 2 does have one, then we have a permutation, and the actual probability is two times the obtained above.

P = 2*(5/36) = 10/36

Nadya [2.5K]
The easiest way to do this is to divide 225 by 3, so 225 / 3, and what you get as the sum, in this case it's 75, you would multiply the sum by 2, which equals 150, and that, would be Susan's share. So... 225 / 3 = 75. 75 * 2 = 150. $150 is the amount Susan gets. Hope this helps!

12 times a number decreased by 5 is no more than 55
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  12n -5 ≤ 55

Step-by-step explanation:

12 times a number (represented by n) is 12n.

"Decreased by 5" means 5 is subtracted from the product, giving 12n-5.

"Is no more than 55" means "is less than or equal to 55".

Then the expression written using math symbols is ...

  12n -5 ≤ 55
