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.

What is the answer X=-2(6+4)
Digiron [165]

Answer:

X = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

X = -2(6+4)

            ^ add 6 and 4 together first because they are in parentheses

-2(10)

   ^ this parenthesis means you want to multiply -2 and 10

because 2 x 10 = 20

that must mean -2 x 10 = -20

therefore, the value of X is -20

X= -20

S = p/(q + p(1 − q)) solve for q
saveliy_v [14]
S = p/(q +p -pq)
q +p -pq = p/s
q -pq = p/s - p
q(1-p) = p/s - p
q = (p/s - p) / (1-p)

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Your answers are correct, but incomplete.

a) should include "supplementary angles"

c) should include "complementary angles"

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles that form a linear pair are <em>supplementary</em>.

Adjacent angles that make up a right angle are <em>complementary</em>.

The problem asks for all classifications that apply, so these additional classifications should be part of the answers for (a) and (c).
