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.

Rita bought 4 rulers for $4.00. If r represents the number of rulers purchased, which equation represents this situation?
Wittaler [7]

Answer: 4r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruth bought 4 rulers and each ruler is to be represented by r. She therefore bought:

= 4r

She bought these for a total of $4.00 so the equation then becomes:

4r = 4.00

Equation representing situation is: 4r = 4

How can I figure out this math problem: Stanley ran a 5 kilometer race in 30 minutes. What was his speed in kilometers per hour?
stiv31 [10]
Since the question is asking for the time units to be in hours, you want to convert 30 minutes to an hour; 0.5

We’re able to use the basic motion formula for velocity to work out this question.

Velocity = distance / time
Velocity = 5 / 0.5
Velocity = 10km/h

Therefore, Stanley’s average speed was 10 kilometres per hour. :)
