Answer:

The number of days is at most 5 days

= d ≤ 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 500 miles.

• She has at most $220 to spend.

At most means Less than or equal to $220

The inequality for expressing this = ≤

Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.

$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200

The inequality is given as:

31d + 65 ≤ 220

Solving further

31d ≤ 220 -65

31d ≤ 155

d ≤ 155/31

d ≤ 5

Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days

1) Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, do the following.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1) a) 0.8

b) 0.6

2) a) 0.08

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.3$ and $P(B) = 0.5$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\OR\\P(A\cup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\cap B)$

(a) If A and B are mutually exclusive i.e. no common thing in the two events.

In other words:

$P(A\ and\ B)$ = $P(A \cap B)$ = 0

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0 = \bold{0.8}$

(b) P(A and B) = 0.2

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0.2 = \bold{0.6}$

*************************************

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.2$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B)$ for dependent events

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) \times P(B)$ for independent events.

(a) If A and B are independent events :

Using the above formula for independent events:

$P(A\ and\ B) = 0.4 \times 0.2 = \bold{0.08}$

(b) $P(A / B) = 0.7$

Using above formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B) = 0.2 \times 0.7 = \bold{0.14}$
