4 rectangular strips of wood, each 30 cm long and 3 cm wide, are arranged to form the outer section
4 rectangular strips of wood, each 30 cm long and 3 cm wide, are arranged to form the outer section of a picture frame. Determine the area inside the wooden frame. Area inside forms a square, with a length of 30 - 3 - 3 = 24. We subtract 3 twice, because we account for 2 rectangular strips with a width of 3. Area of a square is side * side. So we have 24 * 24 = [B]576cm^2[/B]

A woman walked for 5 hours, first along a level road, then up a hill, and then she turned around and walked back to the starting point along the same path. She walks 4mph on level ground, 3 mph uphill, and 6 mph downhill. Find the distance she walked. Hint: Think about d = rt, which means that t = d/r. Think about each section of her walk, what is the distance and the rate. You know that the total time is 5 hours, so you know the sum of the times from each section must be 5. Let Level distance = L and hill distance = H. Add the times it took for each section of the walk: L/4 + H /3 + H/6 + L/4 = 5 The LCD of this is 12 from our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/gcflcm.php?num1=4&num2=3&num3=6&pl=LCM']LCD Calculator[/URL] [U]Multiply each side through by our LCD of 12[/U] 3L + 4H + 2H + 3L = 60 [U]Combine like terms:[/U] 6L + 6H = 60 [U]Divide each side by 3:[/U] 2L + 2H = 20 The woman walked [B]20 miles[/B]

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=
If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=? We know the following formula for the probability of 2 events: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) We're told A and B are independent, which makes P(A intersection B) = 0. So we're left with: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) P(A U B) = 0.2 + 0.6 - 0 P(A U B) = [B]0.8[/B]

Refer to a bag containing 13 red balls numbered 1-13 and 5 green balls numbered 14-18. You choose a ball at random. a. What is the probability that you choose a red or even numbered ball? b. What is the probability you choose a green ball or a ball numbered less than 5? a. The phrase [I]or[/I] in probability means add. But we need to subtract even reds so we don't double count: We have 18 total balls, so this is our denonminator for our fractions. Red and Even balls are {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12} Our probability is: P(Red or Even) = P(Red) + P(Even) - P(Red and Even) P(Red or Even) = 13/18 + 9/18 - 6/18 P(Red or Even) = 16/18 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=16%2F18&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']Fraction Simplify Calculator[/URL], we have: P(Red or Even) = [B]16/18[/B] [B][/B] b. The phrase [I]or[/I] in probability means add. But we need to subtract greens less than 5 so we don't double count: We have 18 total balls, so this is our denonminator for our fractions. Green and less than 5 does not exist, so we have no intersection Our probability is: P(Green or Less Than 5) = P(Green) + P(Less Than 5) - P(Green And Less Than 5) P(Green or Less Than 5) = 5/18 + 4/18 - 0 P(Green or Less Than 5) = 9/18 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=9%2F18&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']Fraction Simplify Calculator[/URL], we have: P(Red or Even) = [B]1/2[/B]

There are 100 people in a sport centre. 67 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 56 people use the track. 38 people use the gym and the pool. 31 people use the pool and the track. 33 people use the gym and the track. 16 people use all three facilities. A person is selected at random. What is the probability that this person doesn't use any facility? WE use the compound probability formula for 3 events: [LIST=1] [*]Gym use (G) [*]Swimming pool use (S) [*]Track (T) [/LIST] P(G U S U T) = P(G) + P(S) + P(T) - P(G Intersection S) - P(G Intersection T) - P(S Intersection T) + P(G Intersection S Intersection T) [LIST] [*]Note: U means Union (Or) and Intersection means (And) [/LIST] Plugging our numbers in: P(G U S U T) = 67/100 + 62/100 + 56/100 - 38/100 - 31/100 - 33/100 + 16/100 P(G U S U T) = (67 + 62 + 56 - 38 - 31 - 33 + 16)/100 P(G U S U T) = 99/100 or 0.99 What this says is, the probability that somebody uses at any of the 3 facilities is 99/100. The problem asks for none of the 3 facilities, or P(G U S U T)' P(G U S U T)' = 1 - P(G U S U T) P(G U S U T)' = 1 - 99/100 P(G U S U T)' = 100/100 - 99/100 P(G U S U T)' = [B]1/100 or 0.1[/B]
