Answer:

a. Sample space = { (t₁ , t₂ ) | 0 < t₁ < T , 0 < t₂ < T }

b.A₁ = { t₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ }

  A₂ = { t₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ }

  if t₁ - t₂ < a₂ , t₂ - t₁ < a₁

c. A₃ = { t₂ + a₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ + 1 }

   A₄ = { t₁ + a₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ + 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A train begins crossing the road at time t₁

The car begins crossing the track at time t₂

where 0 < t₁ < T and 0 < t₂ < T

a.)

Sample space = { (t₁ , t₂ ) | 0 < t₁ < T , 0 < t₂ < T }

b.)

Given that -

The train takes a₁ seconds to cross the road

The car takes a₂ seconds to cross the track.

So, The set that correspond to collision is

A₁ = { t₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ }

A₂ = { t₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ }

if t₁ - t₂ < a₂ , t₂ - t₁ < a₁

c)

The set that corresponds to a collision is missed by 1 second or less is -

A₃ = { t₂ + a₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ + 1 }

A₄ = { t₁ + a₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ + 1 }

Dean sot a goal to do more than 900 push-ups this month. So far, he has done 230 push-ups, and there are 20 more days remaining
vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

he has 900-230 = 670 more push-ups to do in the remaining 20 days.

so, he has to do every day

670/20 = 67/2 = 33.5 push-ups.

fractions of push-ups don't make sense.

we cannot say, he has to do at least 33 per day, because then he might come short in the end (if he sticks to the low limit) .

so, we have to say he has to do more than 33 or at least 34 push-ups per day to be sure he will at least reach his goal.

p > 33

or

p >= 34

both should be correct in the context of using only whole numbers.

bur in case of doubt I would pick p >= 34.

60 G of Henry's favorite breakfast cereal is 1/4 sugar how much sugar is in a 60g serving converted
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of sugar in 60 gram cereal = 1/4

1/4 parts means that if 60 gram sugar is divided into four parts then out of that one part is sugar.

Amount of sugar in cereal in grams = 1/4 of 60 gram

Amount of sugar in cereal in grams = 1/4 * 60 gram = 15 grams.

Therefore, 15 grams sugar is in a 60 gram serving converted.
