Hello!

The answer is:

The probability that both John and Ted will be on time is 48%.

Why?

Since we are dealing with percentages, in order to make it easy to understand, let's remember that percentages are used to simplify the way we refer to something, talking in numeric terms. For example, meaning 100% it's equal to say that somethinh is complete, or absolute. Also, we can see the percentage as a ratio that is expressed as a fraction of the number 100 or $\frac{1}{100}$

From the statement the know that John is late 20% of the time, making it easy to understand, it's equal to say that from 100 times, John is late 20 times.

So, calculating we have:

For John:

$Probability=TotalTimes(percent)-LateTimes(Percent)\\\\Probability=100-20=80$

So, we have that the probability that John will be on time is 80%.

For Ted:

$Probability=TotalTimes(percent)-LateTimes(Percent)\\\\Probability=100-40=60$

So, we have that the probability that Ted will be on time is 60%.

Now, to calculate the probability that both John and Ted will be on time, we need to calculate the combined probability. It can be calculated using the following equation:

$CombinedProbability=Probability_{1}*Probability_{2}$

Let be:

$Probability_{1}=80(percent)=\frac{80}{100}=0.8\\\\Probability_{2}=60(percent)=\frac{60}{100}=0.6$

So, substituting and calculating we have:

$CombinedProbability=Probability_{1}*Probability_{2}$

CombinedProbability=0.8*0.6=0.48=48(percent)

Hence, we have that the probability that both John and Ted will be on time is 48%.

Have a nice day!

Which postulate or theorem, if any, could be used to prove the two triangles congruent? if there is

Answer from: Quest

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
