A taxi driver provides service in two zones of a city. Fares picked up in zone A will have destinations in zone A with a probabi

lity of 0.6 or in zone B with a probability of 0.4. Fares picked up in zone B will have destinations in zone A with a probability of 0.3 or in zone B with a probability of 0.7. The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone A is 6; for a trip entirely in zone B is 8, and for a trip that involves both zones is 12. Find the taxi driver's average profit per trip.

Answer:

The taxi driver's average profit per trip is 4.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of fares picked up in zone A with destinations in zone A = 0.6

Probability of fares picked up in zone A with destinations in zone B = 0.4

Probability of fares picked up in zone B with destinations in zone A = 0.3

Probability of fares picked up in zone B with destinations in zone B = 0.7

The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone A = 6

The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone B = 8

The driver's expected profit for a trip involving both zones is 12

The taxi driver's average profit per trip:

zone A with destinations in zone A = 0.6 * 6 = 3.6

zone A with destinations in zone B = 0.4 * 12 = 4.8

zone B with destinations in zone A = 0.3 * 12 = 3.6

zone B with destinations in zone B = 0.7 * 8 = 5.6

Total profit expected for 4 trips = 17.6

Average profit per trip = 4.4 (17.6/4)

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

kakasveta [241]

$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)

Cloud [144]

Answer: $\frac{27}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the total numbers are 1, 4, 3, 7, 6

Since the total number of possible arrangement = $5\times 5 \times5 \times 5 \times 5=5^5$

The total number of the odd numbers in the given numbers = 3

Thus the possible arrangement that the first three digits will be odd numbers = $3\times 3\times 3\times 5\times 5=3^3\times 5^2$

Thus, the probability that the first three digits of Irvings ID number will be odd numbers = the possible arrangement that the first three digits will be odd numbers / total possible arrangement = $\frac{3^3\times 5^2}{5^5} = \frac{3^2}{5^{5-2}}$

= $\frac{3^3}{5^3} = \frac{27}{125}$
