Hi!
Lets call X₁ the time at which you arrive, and X₂ the time at which Bob arrives. Both are random variables with uniform density in the interval [0, 60] (in minutes). Their joint distribuition is uniform over the square in the image, with value P = 1/(60*60) = 1/3600.
a) For you to get more cake than Bob, you should arrive earlier. This event is A = { X₁ < X₂ }, the shaded triangle in the figure.The area of this event (set) is half the total area of the square, so P(A) = 0.5.
It makes sense, beacuse its equally probable for you or Bob to arrive earlier, as both have uniform density over the time interval.
b) In this case you arrive later than Bob, but less than 5 minutes later. So the event is B = { X₂ < X₁ < (X₂ + 5) } . This is the gray shaded area in b) part of the image. Its area is the difference two triangles (half square - blue triangle), then the probability is:
The solution of the equation is
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify an equation of x
- Simplify each side of the equation
- Collect x in side and the numerical terms in the other side
- Find the value of x
∵ The equation is
- Multiply all terms of the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator
of the 2nd term in the left hand side
∵ The equation is
∴ 8x + (1 - x) = 12
∴ 8x + 1 - x = 12
- Add like terms
∴ (8x - x) + 1 = 12
∴ 7x + 1 = 12
- Subtract 1 from both sides
∴ 7x = 11
- Divide both sides by 7
∴
The solution of the equation is
