Answer:

11.11% probability that you have missed both friends in the cafeteria

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the uniform probability distribution to solve this question, since each lunch duration is equally as likely.

Uniform distribution:

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Probability that you miss the first friend:

Somewhere between 12 and 12:30 pm, so his lunches are between 0 and 30 minutes, so a = 0, b = 30

You arrive at 12:20. So if his lunch is 20 or less minutes, you miss him.

P_{1} = P(X \leq 20) = \frac{20 - 0}{30 - 0} = 0.6667

Probability that you miss the second friend:

Somewhere between 12:15 and 12:45 pm, so his lunches are between 0 and 30 minutes, so a = 0, b = 30.

You arrive at 12:20. So if his lunch is 5 or less minutes, you miss him.

P_{2} = P(X \leq 20) = \frac{5 - 0}{30 - 0} = 0.1667

Probability that you miss both friends:

Missing the first friend and the second friend are independent events. So we multiply these probabilities.

p = P_{1}*P_{2} = 0.6667*0.1667 = 0.1111

11.11% probability that you have missed both friends in the cafeteria

A farmer caught some wild pigs to use as founders for a domestic herd. The farmer wants all of her pigs to have one distinctive
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: Breed for black-haired pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Now according to the statement, the farmer catches  wild pigs and mostly are brown.

Since black hair is dominant over brown and also black and brown are dominant over red,  this implies that red is the least dominant color meaning if breeding occurs, there would be less chance of getting red colored pigs.

She wants to breed either black or red haired pigs and since black is more dominant so she should breed the black ones with the brown ones or with themselves so she would eventually get pure-breeding herd i.e. of black color.
