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%

7. for normal situations, the minimum speed limit throughout the u.s. interstate highway system is 72 km/hr which is 45 miles pe
gladu [14]

Answer:

Question 7: Distance = 237.6 km

Question 8: Distance = 399.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 7:

Given:

Minimum speed (s) = 72 km/hr

Time taken (t) = 3.3 hours.

We know that, distance traveled is equal to the product of speed and time.

Therefore using distance formula, we get:

Distance = Minimum speed × Time

Distance = s\times t

Distance = 72\times 3.3 = 237.6\ km

Therefore, distance traveled at this speed is 237.6 km.

Question 8:

Maximum speed (S) = 121 km/hr

Time taken (T) = 3.3 hours.

We know that, distance traveled is equal to the product of speed and time.

Therefore using distance formula, we get:

Distance = Maximum speed × Time

Distance = S\times T

Distance = 121\times 3.3 = 399.3\ km

Therefore, distance traveled at this speed is 399.3 km.

What is the range for y=x^2-7x-8 ?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

[-20.25;+∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) according to the properties of the given parabola the minimum is:

x_0=-\frac{-7}{2}=3.5; \ y_0=-20.25;

2) y₀=-20.25 means, the value -20.25 is minimum of the range, the maximum →+∞;

3) finally, the range y≥-20.25.

To solve the exercirses which are shown in the figure attached, you must follow the proccedure below:

 7) (x)=x³-6x²+8x
 (x)=x(x³-6x²+8)
 (x)=(x-4)(x-2)x

 The lenght is: x
 The height is= (x-4)

 8) √(2x+8)-6=4

1. You need to clear the variable "x". Then:

 √(2x+8)=4+6
 √(2x+8)=10
 (√2x+8)²=10²
 2x+8=100
 2x=100-8
 x=92/2
 x=46

 9) l4x+3l=9+2x

 1. To solve the left member, you must evaluate two cases: it could be positive,or negative. Then:

 2. Negative:

 l4x+3l=9+2x
 -4x-3=9+2x
 -4x-2x=9+3
 -6x=12
 x=12/-6
 x=-2

 3. Positive:

 l4x+3l=9+2x
 4x+3=9+2x
 4x-2x=9-3
 2x=6
 x=6/2
 x=3
