Answer:

a) 0.0004

b) 0.9604

c) 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

When trying to find the probability of a sequence occurring you would simply need to multiply the probability of both of those things occurring together. Since the probability of an alternator failing is 0.02 then the probability of both failing would be...

0.02 * 0.02 = 0.0004

Now the probability of an alternator not failing is 0.98 (100% or 1 minus 0.02) therefore, the probability of both failing would be...

0.98 * 0.98 = 0.9604

Finally, the probability of one or the other failing would simply be the same as the probability of a single alternator failing which is 0.02

Help?

Answer:

$32.39

Step-by-step explanation:

She has a 15-gallon tank and it has 1/5 a tank of gas left (so about 3/15)

Because she needs to refill it and already has 1/5, she'll only need to pay for 4/5 a tank of gas (12/15).

So the equation should be 12 times $2.699.

12 × 2.699 = 32.388

Then, round to the nearest cent.

32.388 = $32.39

Hope this helped !

What are the equivalent fractions for 2 1/5 and 1 5/6 using 30 as the common denominator
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2 6/30 and 1 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find 30÷5 and 30÷6. You do this because you need to know the multiplier when you create an equivalent fraction. 30÷5 is 6 and 30÷6 is 5. 2 1/5. You need to multiply the 1 and 5 by 6, that is 2 6/30. 1 5/6. 5 and 6 multiplied by 5 is 25 and 30. 1 5/6=1 25/30
