There are 320 students in a school. 16 come to school by car. 96 walk to school. Estimate the probability that a particular stud

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. The probability that a particular student arrives by car is $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. The probability that a particular student walks to school is $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

$P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}$

In this case, the number of possible cases is always the same, which is equal to the total number of students. So the number of possible cases is 320 students. The number of favorable cases varies as follows:

a. Number of favorable cases= number of students that arrive by car= 16

So: $P(A)=\frac{16}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%

The probability that a particular student arrives by car is $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. Number of favorable cases= number of students that walk to school= 96

So: $P(A)=\frac{96}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%

The probability that a particular student walks to school is $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk to school = 320 students - number of students that walk to school= 320 students - 96 students= 224 students

So: $P(A)=\frac{224}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%

The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk or come by car= 320 students - number of students that walk to school - number of students that arrive by car= 320 students - 96 students - 16 students= 208 students

So: $P(A)=\frac{208}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%

The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Kako put 3 4/10 bags of fertilizer on the front lawn and 2 2/3 bags of fertilizer on the back lawn. How many bags of fertilizer

earnstyle [38]

Ok. Since the fractions aren't the same, we have to make them common. They both have 30 in common.
4/10 = 12/30 I multiplied this 4 by 3 since I did 10 times 3.
2/3 = 20/30 Same with this one. Since 3 times 10, 2 times 10
Now you add the things to get 32/30, simplify to 1 2/30, and again to get 1 1/15.
Now add
3+2+1/15 = 6 1/15
He used 6 1/15 bags of fertilizer.

A small motorboat travels 8mph in still water. It takes 3 hours longer to travel 44 miles going upstream than it does going down

Eddi Din [679]

The rate of the current is 2.03 mph if the small motorboat travels 8mph in still water. It takes 3 hours longer to travel 44 miles going upstream than it does going downstream.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

Any equation of the form $\rm ax^2+bx+c=0$ Where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

Let's suppose the rate of the current = r

The time it takes to go downstream + 4 hours = time to go upstream

As we know the:

$\rm Time = \dfrac{Distance}{ Rate }$

Now,

$\rm \dfrac{44}{ (8 + r)} + 3 = \dfrac{44}{ (8 - r)}$

After solving:

$\rm \dfrac{44}{ (8 - r)}-\dfrac{44}{ (8 + r)} =3$

After cross multiplication

44(8+r) - 44(8-r) = 3(8+r)(8-r)

88r = 3(64 - r²)

3r² + 88r - 192 = 0

After solving the above quadratic equation, we get:

r = 2.03 or

r=−31.37 (reject as it is negative)

So, the r =2.03 mph

Thus, the rate of the current is 2.03 mph if the small motorboat travels 8mph in still water. It takes 3 hours longer to travel 44 miles going upstream than it does going downstream.
