Given P(A) = 0.51, P(B) = 0.79, and P(A or B) = 0.66, are events A and B mutually exclusive?​

Answer: No, the events are not mutually exclusive

Work Shown:

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

P(A and B) = 0.51 + 0.79 - 0.66

P(A and B) = 0.64

Since the result is not zero, this means the events are not mutually exclusive.

Mutually exclusive events are ones that cannot happen at the same time. Example: getting a "2" and a "3" on the same roll of a number cube.

To find the median cancel out numbers on both sides, until one is left in the middle and if there are two in the middle add them up and divide by two. 

So in this case the median is

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x+2=-5/8x-5
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying both sides by 4.

\frac{1}{4} x+2=-\frac{5}{8} x-5\\x+8=-\frac{5}{2} x-20

Next, multiply both sides by 2.

x+8=-\frac{5}{2} x-20\\2x+16=-5x-40

Now, combine like terms.

2x+16=-5x-40\\7x+16=-40\\7x=-56\\x=-8

A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apa
Margaret [11]
If you count the bottom rung, the answer is 4 hours.

If the rope is 10 feet long, and each rung is 1 ft apart, there must be 9 spaces between the rungs on the ladder. This can be shown with a number line, although it is not necessary to answer the question.

One foot is 12 inches, so it would take 2 hours for one rung to be covered.

However, since we have already said the bottom rung is touching the surface of the water, it shouldn't need any inches.

So if we exclude the bottom rung, there are two rungs left. 2 x 2 = 4.
