The two-way table shows the distribution of book style to genre. Miguel claims that given that the book is paperback (PB) does n

ot affect the outcome that the book is nonfiction (NF). A 4-column table has 3 rows. The first column has entries paperback, hardcover, total. The second column is labeled Fiction with entries 20, 10, 30. The third column is labeled nonfiction with entries 60, 30, 90. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 80, 40, 120. Is Miguel’s claim correct? Yes, the two events are independent because P(NF|PB) = P(NF). Yes, the two events are independent because P(PB|NF) = P(NF). No, the two events are not independent because P(PB|NF) ≠ P(PB). No, the two events are not independent because P(PB|NF) ≠ P(NF).

The claim of Miguel is correct, as the two events are independent because P(NF|PB) = P(NF).

<h3>What is conditional probability?  </h3>

The conditional probability is the happening of an event, when the probability of occurring of other event is given.

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

The probability of event A, given that the event B is occurred.

Independent events are those events whose occurrences do not depend on the other events.

The two-way table shows the distribution of book style to genre is given as,

The first column has entries paperback, hardcover, total.

The second column is labeled Fiction with entries     20,   10,   30.

The third column is labeled nonfiction with entries    60,   30,  90.

The fourth column is labeled total with entries           80,  40,  120.

Miguel claims that given that the book is paperback (PB) does not affect the outcome that the book is nonfiction (NF).

Suppose that two events are denoted by A and B. They are said to be an independent event if and only if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

Put the values as,

\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{80}{120}\times\dfrac{90}{120}\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}

As both the values are equal. Thus, the claim of Miguel is correct because the two events are independent because P(NF|PB) = P(NF).

Jason is painting a large circle on one wall of his new apartment. The largest distance across the circle will be 8 feet. Approx
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) 50.24 ft²

b) 150.72 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason is painting a large circle on one wall of his new apartment. The largest distance across the circle will be 8 feet.

The distance across a circle is also called a diameter, Hence,

D = Diameter = 8 ft

The Area of a circle = πr²

r = Diameter/2 = 8ft/2 = 4ft

π = 3.14

Hence,

The Area of the circle = π × (4 ft)²

= 50.24 ft²

a) Approximately the amount of wall the circle will cover is 50.24 ft².

b) How much area will he cover if he painted a circle on three walls?

This is calculated as:

1 wall = 50.24 ft²

3 walls = x

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 50.24 ft²

x = 150.72 ft²
