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)

The surface area of the triangular prism is calculated as: 153 cm²

<h3>How to Find the Surface Area of a Triangular Prism?</h3>

The net of a triangular consists of 2 identical triangular faces, and three different rectangular faces. Given the net of a triangular prism, to find the surface area, find the area of each given shape that makes up the net of the triangular prism.

Surface area of the triangular prism = 2(area of triangular base) + area of the 3 different rectangular faces.

Area of triangle = 1/2(b)(h)

Base (b) = 6 cm

Height (h) = 3 cm

Area of the 2 triangular faces = 2[1/2(6)(3)]

Area of the 2 triangular faces = 18 cm²

Area of the larger rectangular face:

Area = (length)(width) = (9)(6)

Area of larger rectangular face = 54 cm²

Area of the medium-sized rectangular face:

Area = (length)(width) = (9)(5)

Area of medium-sized rectangular face = 45 cm²

Area of the smaller rectangular face:

Area = (length)(width) = (9)(4)

Area of smaller rectangular face = 36 cm²

Surface area of the triangular prism = 18 + 54 + 45 + 36

Surface area of the triangular prism = 153 cm²
