If p(a | b) = 0.4, p(b) = 0.8, and p(a) = 0.5, are the events a and b independent?

The events A and B are not independent.

Given that,

                  P(A|B) = 0.4

                  P(A) = 0.5

                  P(B) = 0.8

Two events A and B are said to be independent, if P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B)

We have, P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

Therefore, P(A∩B) = P(A|B) P(B) = 0.4 x 0.8 = 0.32

Now P(A) P(B) = 0.5 x 0.8 = 0.4

So P(A∩B) ≠ P(A)P(B)

Therefore, the events A and B are not independent.

Solve this proportion: 1/c+5=2/3
Fittoniya [83]
\frac{1}{c} +5=\frac{2}{3}\ \|\ subtract\ 5\ to\ both\ sides  \\\\\frac{1}{c} =\frac{2}{3}-5\\\\\frac{1}{c} =\frac{2}{3}-\frac{15}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{c} = \frac{-13}{3}\\\\-13c=3\ \ | \ divide \ both \ sides\  by\ (-13)\\\\c=-\frac{3}{13}



\frac{1}{c+5} = \frac{2}{3} \\\\2(c+5) =3\\\\2c+10=3\ \ |\ subtract\ 10\ to\ both\ sides  \\\\ 2c=3-10 \\\\2c=-7 \ \ | \ divide \ both \ sides\  by\  2 \\\\c=-\frac{7}{2}\\\\c=-3.5

An equation of a line with a slope of - 4/5 that passes through the point (5,3)
Nady [450]

Answer:

y = -(4/5)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the point-slope form of a linear equation is given as

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

in our case, we are given

slope, m = -4/5

and a point (x₁, y₁) = (5,3)

hence we simply substitute these values into the equation

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 3 = -(4/5) (x - 5)    (we will simplify this to convert to slope-intercept form)

y - 3 = -(4/5) (x) - (-4/5)(5)

y - 3 = -(4/5)x +4   (add 3 to both sides)

y = -(4/5)x +4  +3

y = -(4/5)x + 7

In one region, the september energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean
Mrac [35]
We first calculate the z-score corresponding to x = 1075 kWh. Given the mean of 1050 kWh, SD of 218 kWh, and sample size of n = 50, the formula for z is:
z = (x - mean) / (SD/sqrt(n)) = (1075 - 1050) / (218/sqrt(50)) = 0.81
From a z-table, the probability that z > 0.81 is 0.2090. Therefore, the probability that the mean of the 50 households is > 1075 kWh is 0.2090.
