Answer:

Probability of a train on line A arriving on time: 80%

Probability of any train arriving on time: 96%

Step-by-step explanation:

If 18 of the 90 incoming trains on line A arrive late, we have that 90 - 18 = 72 trains of the 90 arrive on time, so the probability of a train on line A arriving on time is:

P(A) = 72/90 = 0.8 = 80%

on line B, we have that 70 - 14 = 56 trains of the 70 arrived in time, so the probability of a train from line B arriving on time is:

P(B) = 56/70 = 0.8 = 80%

To find the probability of any train arriving on time, we can use this formula:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 0.8 + 0.8 - 0.8*0.8

P(A or B) = 1.6 - 0.64 = 0.96 = 96%

Marshall left home biking at a constant rate of 20 mph. One hour later, it looked like it may rain, so his friend, Brett, set ou
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was.  Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall.  In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall.  We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40.  So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph.  Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles.  We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20.  This is equal to 1/2 hour.  So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall.  This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone.  Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30.  Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles.  Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Skylar's speed was ...

  (65 ft)/(5 s) = 13 ft/s

Rodrigo's speed was ...
