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

zysi [14]
It is possible

Group 1 : 684 divided by 36 = 19$

Group 2 : 456 divided by 24 = 19$

Therefore, both groups 1 and 2 charge $19 for each ticket

Simplify<br> (3/2x+5) + (5/x-5)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(3x + 10) / (2x + 5)(x - 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/2x+5) + (5/x-5)

= [3(x - 5) + 5(2x + 5) ] /  [ (2x + 5)(x - 5)]

= 3x - 15 + 10x + 25 /  (2x + 5)(x - 5)

= 13x + 10 / (2x + 5)(x - 5).

Answer:

Increase in the length of one side = 3.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Yossi has garage whose area is 280 ft²

After rebuilt their is increment in area by 50%

New Area = 280 × 150% = 420 ft²

Also we know that Area of Square = (Length) × (Length)

⇒ Length of Newly built garage = √420 = 20.5 ft

and Length of Originally garage = √280 = 16.7 ft

⇒ Increase in the length of one side = 20.5 - 16.7 = 3.8 ft
