Answer:

friend alone could do it in 13 hours and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Your rate = room/8

friends rate = room/x

combined rate = room/8 + room/x

= room(x+8)/(8x)

then

5 = room / [room(x+8)/(8x)]

5 = 8x/(x+8)

8x = 5x + 40

3x = 40

x = 40/3 = 13 1/3

friend alone could do it in 13 hours and 1/3

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a) There is a 13% probability that a student has taken 2 or more semesters of Calculus.

b) 45% probability that a student has taken some calculus.

c) 87% probability that a student has taken no more than one semester of calculus.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 55% that a student hast never taken a Calculus course.

A 32% probability that a student has taken one semester of a Calculus course.

A 100-(55+32) = 13% probability that a student has taken 2 or more semesters of Calculus.

a) two or more semesters of Calculus?

There is a 13% probability that a student has taken 2 or more semesters of Calculus.

b) some Calculus?

At least one semester.

So there is a 32+13 = 45% probability that a student has taken some calculus.

c) no more than one semester of Calculus?

At most one semester.

So 55+32 = 87% probability that a student has taken no more than one semester of calculus.
