Answer:

x=12.50

y = 17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Amount of one Derek withdrawal

then amount of John withdrawal =x+5

Total withdrawals of Derek = no of times x one time withdrawal

= 7(x) = 7x ... i

No of John withdrawal = no of times x one time withdrawal

= 5(x+5)  ... ii

Given that i and ii are equal

i.e. 7x =5(x+5)

7x = 5x+25

2x =25

x = 12.50 dollars

Y = 17.50 dollars

Checking part:

total derek withdrawal = 7(12.5) =87.50

Joh's withdrawal = 5(17.50) = 87.50

Since both are equal, our answers are right.

Solution:  Derek withdrew each time 12.50 dollars each for 7 times and John withdrew 17.50 dollars each for 5 times.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability measures the odds that a stated event would occur. The odds the event happens lies between 0 and 1.

The probability that a client at Bernie's salon has black hair = number of clients with black hair / total number of clients

122 / 528 = 61 / 264

The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) P(X∩Y) = 0.2

b) P_1 = 0.16

c) P = 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call X the event that the motorist must stop at the first signal and Y the event that the motorist must stop at the second signal.

So, P(X) = 0.36, P(Y) = 0.51 and P(X∪Y) = 0.67

Then, the probability P(X∩Y) that the motorist must stop at both signal can be calculated as:

P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)

P(X∩Y) = 0.36 + 0.51 - 0.67

P(X∩Y) = 0.2

On the other hand, the probability P_1 that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one can be calculated as:

P_1 = P(X) - P(X∩Y)

P_1 = 0.36 - 0.2 = 0.16

At the same way, the probability P_2 that he must stop at the second signal but not at the first one can be calculated as:

P_2 = P(Y) - P(X∩Y)

P_2 = 0.51 - 0.2 = 0.31

So, the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal is:

P = P_1+P_2\\P=0.16+0.31\\P=0.47
