Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
Answer:
y =16
I have solved it . It's in the picture above. Hope it helps
Answer:
Events E and F are not independent if the probability of event E occurring is affecting the probability of event F occurring.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two events are independent when the probability of one event occurring has no connection with that of the other event.
Example, when you toss a coin and roll a six sided die, the probability of getting a head or a tail has no connection with the probability of getting any number face.A real life example will be the probability going to the mall and owning a cat at home.These two have no influence on one another.
Mathematically independent events can be calculated as;
P(E∩F)=P(E)-P(F)
8 : 4
16 : 8
4 : 2
Simplest:
2 : 1
