I believe it is B!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
a) P=0.0175
b) P=0.0189
Step-by-step explanation:
For both options we have to take into account that not only the chance of a "superevent" will disable both suppliers.
The other situation that will disable both is that both suppliers have their "unique-event" at the same time.
As they are, by definition, two independent events, we can calculate the probability of having both events at the same time as the product of both individual probabilities.
a) Then, the probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 1 is

b) The probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 2:

Pue = probability of a unique event
Pse = probability of a superevent
Originally we have
length = x
width = x-2
since the width is 2 inches smaller than the length
now let's triple each dimension. Multiply the expressions by 3 to get
new length = 3*x
new width = 3*(x-2) = 3x-6
Now onto the area
area = (length)*(width)
area = (3x)*(3x-6)
area = 3x*3x-3x*6
area = 9x^2 - 18x
So the new larger rectangle has area of 9x^2-18x
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
The present ages of Ram and Rehman are in the ratio 8:9. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 9:10. Find their present ages.
<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>
The present ages of Ram and Rehman are in the ratio 8:9. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 9:10.
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
- Let the present age of Ram and Rehman be 8x years and 9x years respectively.
- After 5 years, their ages will be 9x years and 10 years respectively.
- Therefore, by the problem

- So, the present age of Ram = 8x years = (8×5) years = 40 years
- The present age of Rehman = 9x years = (9×5) years = 45 years
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The present ages of Ram and Rehman are 40 years and 45 years respectively.
