Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both, in case

one of them does not show up. From past experience, Christine knows that there is a 55% chance that Dave will not show up and a 45% chance that Mike will not show up. Dave and Mike do not know each other and their decisions can be assumed to be independent. a. What is the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up

Answer:

a) 26.79%, b) 50.42% and c) 22.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up?

As decisions of showing up can be assumed to be independent, the probability will be given by

(1-0.53)(1-0.43)=(0.47)(0.57)=0.2679=26.79%

b. What is the probability that at least one of them will show up?

There are two possibilities for this to happen:

Dave shows up but Mike does not. The probability of Dave to show up is (1-0.53)=0.47 and the probability that Mike does not is 0.43. Then, as these events are independent, the probability for both of them to happen is (0.47)(0.43)=0.2021=20.21%

Mike shows up but Dave does not. The probability of Mike to show up is (1-0.43)=0.57 and the probability that Mike does not is 0.53. Then, as these events are independent, the probability for both of them to happen is (0.57)(0.53)=0.3021=30.21%

Therefore, the probability that at least one of them will show up? is 20.21%+30.21%=50.42%.

c. What is the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up?

As decisions of showing up can be assumed to be independent, the probability will be given by

(0.53)(0.43)=0.2279=22.79%

In Hawaii”s Kona iron man competition, Gretchen swims the first 7/8 of a mile in 70 minutes. At this pace, how many minutes will
Alex_Xolod [135]

It would Gretchen 192 minutes to swim the entire 2 2/5 mile course.

What is speed?

Speed is distance divided by the time taken to cover the distance.

In this case, we can determine distance covered in a minute by dividing the speed by the distance, which is distance of 7/8 mile(i.e. 0.825 mile) over the time take to cover the distance.

speed per minute=0.825/70

speed per minute=0.0125 mile/minute

With this, we can determine the time in minutes it would take to cover 2.4 miles(2/5=0.4)

0.0125=2.4/time

0.0125*time=2.4

time=2.4/0.0125

time=192 minutes
