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

Find the product. Write your answer in exponential form. 6^-6x6^-1
Tom [10]
So, the questions is 6^(-6) * 6^(-1).

Remember, whenever we are multiplying two numbers with the same base and with different exponents, we should always add the exponents and keeps the same base.

In this ,case it is, -6 and -1.

-6 + (-1) = -7

So the answer would be 6^(-7).
