A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Ke

ntucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.85 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes.
a. Assume that you are a motorist entering the traffic system and receive a radio report of a traffic delay. What is the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state? Note that this result is the probability of being in the delay state for two consecutive periods. If required, round your answer to three decimal places.
b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state? If required, round your answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

a. 0.563 = 56.3% probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state.

b. 0.625 = 62.5% probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

The probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75.

The system currently is in traffic delay, so for the next time period, 0.75 probability of a traffic delay. If the next period is in a traffic delay, the following period will also have a 0.75 probability of a traffic delay. So

0.75*0.75 = 0.563

0.563 = 56.3% probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state.

b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state? If required, round your answers to three decimal places.

If it doesn't have a delay, 85% probability of continuing without a delay.

If it has a delay, 75% probability of continuing with a delay.

So, for the long run:

x: current state

85% probability of no delay if x is in no delay, 100 - 75 = 25% if x is in delay(1-x). So

0.85x + 0.25(1 - x) = x

0.6x + 0.25 = x

0.4x = 0.25

x = \frac{0.25}{0.4}

x = 0.625

0.625 = 62.5% probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state

Is it 60 degrees or 70 degrees? because 100 + 120 = 220
360 - 220 = 140
One side looks larger than the other tho so I am not sure.

Select the correct answer.<br> Find the value of x.<br> Please answer!!!

C. 64

Rewrite the logarithm:

8=x^.5

Solve by raising both sides of the equation to the power of the inverse (in this case, the inverse of .5, which is 2):

8^2=x^(.5*2)

64=x

ΔMNP is an isosceles triangle with MN ≈NP. If ∠ M = 3x + 1 and ∠ N = x - 11. What is the measure of ∠P?
s2008m [1.1K]

Start with an equation summing all the angles in this triangle:

180 = <M + <N + <P

we are given <M and <N but not <P. But, since MN=NP, the angle <P is the same as the angle <M (isosceles, make a drawing to see). So

180 = 2<M + <N

180 = 2(3x+1) + x-11

180 = 7x - 9

x = 27

<P = 3*27+1 = 82 degrees

The measures of two supplementary angles total 180 degrees. The measure of angle y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle
iVinArrow [24]
The measures of the angles are given to be x and y. Since y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle x then, it can also be expressed as x - 65. The sum of the angles x and y should be 180 degrees as they are supplementary angles, 
                                    x + y = 180
                                   x + (x - 65) = 180
The value of x is 122.5 and that of y is 57.5. Therefore, the measures of the angles are 122.5 and 57.5.
