Answer:

0.56 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes

To find:

Probability that the signal will show green light when you reach the destination = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us convert each time to same unit before doing any calculations.

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes = 4 \times 60 seconds = 240 seconds

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes = 3 \times 60 seconds = 180 seconds

Now, let us have a look at the formula for probability of an event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Here, E is the event that green light is shown by the signal.

Number of favorable cases mean the time for which green light is shown and Total number of cases is the total time <em>(Time for which green light is shown + Time for which Yellow light is shown + Time for which red light is shown)</em>

So, the required probability is:

P(E) = \dfrac{240}{240+10+180}\\\Rightarrow P(E) = \dfrac{240}{430}\\\Rightarrow \bold{P(E) \approx 0.56 }

There are 40 markers in a bag. Of the 10 scented markers, 6 are permanent markers. Half of the unscented markers are erasable.
Mice21 [21]
For this case we have:
 10 scented markers: Column 1, row 3.
 6 are permanent markers: Column 1, row 1
 Half of the unscented markers are erasable: (1/2) * 30 = 15 Column 2, row 2.
 Therefore, the selected table corresponds to the attached image.
 Answer:
 
See attached image.
