he events are not independent

<h3>How to determine if they are mutually exclusive?</h3>

The given parameters are:

P(A) = 0.2

P(B) = 0.2

The events are mutually exclusive.

So, as have

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

If the events are independent, then

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

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

So, we have

P(A and B) = 0.2 + 0.2 - 0.2 - 0.2 = 0

P(A and B) = 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04

The above equations are not equal

Hence, the events are not independent

The picture can be divided into 2 same triangles and one rectangular.

The triangle areas is {1/2 *base * height}*2 (because 2 same triangles)

and you need to sum rectangular area (width * base).
The result will be area of 2 triangle +area of rectangular.
=2(1/2*base of triangle* height)+ (base of rectangular * height)
= (base of triangle* height)+(base of rectangular * height)
=(base of triangle +base of rectangular)*height

b1 is top length
b2 is bottom length, and so

Base of triangle =(b1-b2/2)
Base of rectangular =b2
Height =h
Thus A ={(b1-b2/2)+b2 }*h
A= [(b1+b2)/2]*h

Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Well they made 19 clay, where 12 were vases. That means 7 were not vases. She randomly chooses 16 clay objects, which then also means 3 were left behind. so if the vases are  12/19, which is approximately 63%, then 63% of the objects are vases. Makes sense, right? Well now we need to multiply that by the initial 11 in the question. After all of this work..

Answer: 6.9474 or 6.94736.

Please mark as Brainliest.

Suppose that you are asked if there would be a strong or weak correlation between the number of people shopping in malls and the
solong [7]

There could be a strong correlation between the proximity of the holiday season and the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

It is known that when there are vacations people tend to frequent shopping centers more often than when they are busy with work or school.

Therefore, the proximity in the holiday season is related to the increase in the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

This means that there is a strong correlation between both variables, since when one increases the other also does. This type of correlation is called positive. When, on the contrary, the increase of one variable causes the decrease of another variable, it is said that there is a negative correlation.

There are several coefficients that measure the degree of correlation (strong or weak), adapted to the nature of the data. The best known is the 'r' coefficient of Pearson correlation

A correlation is strong when the change in a variable x produces a significant change in a variable 'y'. In this case, the correlation coefficient r approaches | 1 |.

When the correlation between two variables is weak, the change of one causes a very slight and difficult to perceive change in the other variable. In this case, the correlation coefficient approaches zero

For a...

Split the figure into 2 different shapes. We’re gonna split it where the 19 line is. So now you have sort of a square and a rectangle. You need to find the area of each. If the line in bottom is 35 and the rectangle top line is 19, just subtract 19 from 35 and you get the bottom line of your square. Same for the 25 on the left of the whole figure. Do the same with figure band divide where the 7 line is. Find the area of each
