Calculate the probability that somebody is late.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  9/20

=============================================================

Explanation:

Define the following events

D = weather is dryR = weather is rainyS = weather is snowyL = person is lateT = person is on time

We are given the following probabilities

P(D) = 1/2P(R) = 1/3P(S) = 1/6

Then we're further told that "if it is dry, then the probability someone will arrive on time is 4/5". We can condense that into the notation

P(T given D) = 4/5

The "given D" means that we know 100% that event D has occurred. So we're seeing how event T behaves because of D occurring. In other words P(T given D) is the same as saying "What is P(T) when we know D has happened?"

-------------------------

The instructions also mention that "If it rains, the probability someone is on time is 2/5" tells us we have the notation

P(T given R) = 2/5

And also, the probability someone is on time if it is snowy is

P(T given S) = 1/10

due to it saying "If it snows, the probability that someone will arrive on time is 1/10".

-------------------------

To recap so far, your teacher told you these three conditional probabilities

P(T given D) = 4/5P(T given R) = 2/5P(T given S) = 1/10

They are conditional due to the "given" as part of the probability. They depend on the given event happening.

Subtract each fraction from 1 and we end up with these complementary probabilities

P(L given D) = 1/5P(L given R) = 3/5P(L given S) = 9/10

I'm using the idea that P(A)+P(B) = 1, where A and B are complementary events. One or the other event must happen. Either you are on time, or you are late.

---------------------------

Recall the conditional probability formula is

P(A given B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

which rearranges to

P(A and B) = P(A given B)*P(B)

We'll use this idea to get the following

P(L and D) = P(L given D)*P(D) = (1/5)*(1/2) = 1/10P(L and R) = P(L given R)*P(R) = (3/5)*(1/3) = 1/5P(L and S) = P(L given S)*P(S) = (9/10)*(1/6) = 3/20

This means,

P(L) = P(L and D) + P(L and R) + P(L and S) ..... law of total probability

P(L) = 1/10 + 1/5 + 3/20

P(L) = 2/20 + 4/20 + 3/20

P(L) = (2+4+3)/20

P(L) = 9/20 is the probability someone is late

Answer:

The ordered pair works for the first equation on the top, but not the second equation on the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to plug in the x and y values into the equations:

x - 2y = -6

2 - 2(4) = -6  

That equation works.

...now for the next one...

3x + 2y = 12

3(2) + 2(4) = 12

That equation doesn't work.

Hope this helps!

It is not because when you plug x=2 and y=4 into the second equation, it is not a true statement. In order for the ordered pair to apply to the system, there needs to be a true statement for BOTH equations not just the first one.

Observe:

2-2(4)=-6
-6=-6 this is a true statement

3(2)-2(4)=12
6-8=12
-2≠12 this is a false statement

Therefore the solution 2,4 doesn’t apply to the system since it only applies to one of the equations

Aria has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 85 rewards points just for signing up. She earns 12.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. She needs 185 points for a free movie ticket. How many visits must Aria make to earn a free movie ticket?

Answers

Answer:

8 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation, where x is the number of visits to the theater.

Since she gets 12.5 points for each visit, the number of points from visits will be represented by 12.5x.

85 will be added to this, since she gets 85 points for signing up. Then, this will be set equal to 185, since she needs 185 points for the free ticket.

12.5x + 85 = 185

Solve for x:

12.5x = 100

x = 8

So, Aria needs to make 8 visits to earn a free movie ticket

Aria must make 8 visits to earn a free movie ticket when She needs 185 points for a free movie ticket.

By given she has  85 rewards points just for signing up.

She earns 12.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.

She needs 185 points for a free movie ticket.

We must find how many visits does aria has to make to earn a free movie ticket

What is equation?

If two expressions with equal sign is called as equation.

Let  x is the number of visits to the theater.

Since she gets 12.5 points for each visit, the number of points from visits will be represented by 12.5x.

85 will be added to this, since she gets 85 points for signing up. Then, this will be set equal to 185, since she needs 185 points for the free ticket.

12.5x + 85 = 185

12.5x = 100

x = 8

Answer:

1. YES  2. NO

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since x=0.121212... and the question is asking for 100x, we need to multiply each side by 100. 0.121212... multiplied by 100 is 12.1212... So YES, 100x is still a repeating decimal.

2. 12.121212... minus 0.121212... would just be 12. This is because if we know that all the numbers behind the decimal point is 0.121212 and so on, 12.121212... minus 0.121212... the numbers behind the decimal would cancel out. So we are left with 12. So NO, the answer for 99x is NOT a repeating decimal.

​If Alfie tosses the paper cup more times, what is the expected ​number of times that the cup will land on its side?

Answers

Question:

Alfie tossed a paper cup in the air 150 times and recorded the side it landed on.

     Right side up = 60         Upside down = 53             Side = 37

If Alfie tosses the paper cup 100 more times what is the expected number of times the cup will land on its side?

 

Answer:

The expected number of times the cup will land on its side is 25 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Right = 60[/tex]

[tex]Upside\ down = 53[/tex]

[tex]Side = 37[/tex]

Required

First, we calculate the probability of landing on side

[tex]P(Side) = \frac{n(Side)}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(Side) = \frac{37}{150}[/tex]

[tex]P(Side) = 0.247[/tex]

Next, we calculate the expected value; E(x) using:

[tex]E(x) = n * P(x)[/tex]

When tossed 100  more times:

n = 100 and P(x) = P(Side) = 0.247

So:

[tex]E(x) = 100 * 0.247[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 24.7[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 25[/tex] --- approximated

Hence, it is expected that it will land on its side 25 times
