Algebra.Com's Answer #250598 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When the car park at Brinsons empties at the end of the day, the probability that a car turns left at the first junction is 3/4 and that a car turns left at its NEXT junction is 2/5. A car leaves the car park. What is the probability that \n" ); document.write( "a) It turns right and then right again: (1/4)(3/5) = 3/20 \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "b) It makes one left turn and one right turn at the first two junctions it encounters. \n" ); document.write( "(3/4)(3/5) + (1/4)(3/5) = 9/20 + 3/20 = 12/20 = 3/5 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
