Purple Taxi has no pick-up fee, but charges $0.25 per mile. ABC Taxi charges $3 for pick-up and $0.15 per mile. Which inequality

can be used to find the number of miles, n, for which the cost of a cab ride with Purple Taxi exceeds the cost of a cab ride with ABC Taxi? 0.25n≥3+0.15n 0.25n+3<0.15n 0.25n>0.15n+3 3+0.15n>0.25n

Answer:

0.25n>0.15n+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

Since Purple taxi charges 0.25 per mile, the cost of using Purple taxi is:

0.25n  

Where n is the number of miles.

ABC Taxi charges $3 for pick-up and $0.15 per mile

So, the cost for using ABC taxi is equal to the fixed fee per pick up (3) , plus the cost per mile (0.15n)

3+0.15n

To find the number of miles, n, for which the cost of a cab ride with Purple Taxi exceeds the cost of a cab ride with ABC Taxi, the cost of a cab ride with purple taxi must be higher (>) than the cost of a cab ride with ABC taxi.

0.25n>0.15n+3

The cycle time for trucks hauling concrete to a highway construction site is uniformly distributed over the interval 40 to 75 mi
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

0.8333 = 83.33% probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes if it is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

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

Uniformly distributed over the interval 40 to 75 minutes.

This means that a = 40, b = 75

It is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes

This means that we can use a = 45

What is the probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes?

P(X > 50) = \frac{75 - 50}{75 - 45} = 0.8333

0.8333 = 83.33% probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes if it is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes
