The value of the P(A∩B) is equal to 0.04.

We have given that,

P(A)= 0.4 and P(B) = 0.85.

We have to determine the P(A and B)

<h3>What is the formula for Independent Events?</h3>

For Independent Events,

P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B)

so we have, P(A∩B) = 0.4×0.1

P(A∩B) = 0.04

P(A') = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

This information can be represented on a Venn diagram as shown below

P(A'∪B) means the union of everything that is not A with everything that is B

P(A'∪B) = 0.06 + 0.54 + 0.04

P(A'∪B) = 0.64

Wilda can do a job in 4 hours that karla needs 5 hours to do. If wilda works 1 hour before karla joins her, how long will it tak

mezya [45]

Wilda can do the job in 4 hours ... she does 1/4 (or 0.25) of it each hour.
Karla can do it in 5 hours ... she does 1/5 (or 0.2) of it each hour.

Wilda worked alone for 1 hour ... 0.25 of the job was done before her helper
arrived. So only 0.75 of the job remained to be done together.

Working together, they accomplish (0.25 + 0.2) = 0.45 of the job in 1 hour.

How many times do they need to do 0.45 of the job in order to finish
the 0.75 of it that remains ? That's the number of hours it will take them,
working together.

0.75 / 0.45 = <em>1 and 2/3</em>

After Wilda worked alone for 1 hour and Karla came along to join her, it will
take them another <em>1 hour and 40 minutes</em> to finish the job and go for a swim.

Write an equivalent expression to present patricia total earnings this week 7h + 135 + 5h = ?h + ?

Paul [167]

Answer: 12 h + 135

Step-by-step explanation: 7h +135 + 5h = ?h + ?

7h +5h +135

=12h +135

So u combine like terms together which are 7h and 5h which gives you 12 h.And then you have 135 left,so you add 12h to 135.

Ps.If you don't know what like terms are.I will explain down below.

Like terms are variable that are the same.For an example 4y and 3y are like terms .Another example is 1/3 xy and 6xy .

Hope this helps :) and if it does please give brainliest .
