Answers:
- (a) Independent
- (b) Dependent
- (c) Dependent
- (d) Independent
========================================================
Explanation:
If events A and B are independent, then the two following equations must both be true
- P(A | B) = P(A)
- P(B | A) = P(B)
This is because the conditional probability P(A|B) means "P(A) when B has happened". If B were to happen, then P(A) must be the same as before. In other words, event B does not affect A, and vice versa.
For part (a), we have P(B) = 1/4 and P(B|A) = 1/4 showing that P(B|A) = P(B) is true, and therefore we can say the events are independent. We don't need the info that P(A) = 1/8.
------------------------
Unlike part (a), part (b) has the answer "dependent" because P(A) = 1/8 and P(A | B) = 1/3 differ in value. Event A starts off at probability 1/8, but then event B occurring means P(A) gets increased to 1/3. The prior knowledge about B changes the chances of A. The P(B) = 1/5 is unneeded.
------------------------
If A and B were independent, then,
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
However,
P(A)*P(B) = (1/4)*(1/5) = 1/20
which is not the same as P(A and B) = 1/6. Therefore the two events are dependent.
------------------------
Refer back to part (a)
P(A) = 1/4 and P(A|B) = 1/4 are identical in value, so P(A|B) = P(A) which leads to the events being independent. Whether we know event B happened or not, it does not affect the outcome of event A. P(B) = 1/9 is unneeded.
10 = 2/3m - 3/2m
2/3m - 3/2m = 10
m ( 2/3 - 3/2 ) = 10
-5/6m = 10
5m = -60
m = -12
The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from 0 on a number line.
Example) 2 is two numbers away from 0, but neg. 2 (-2) is also two numbers away from 0
So basically. A positive number has the absolute value of itself. (2= a value of 2) and negative numbers have the absolute value of the positive form of that number. (-9= a value of 9)
Numbers that have the absolute value of 2: 2 and -2
Numbers that have the absolute value of 4: 4 and -4
Numbers that have the absolute value of 9: 9 and -9
You are looking to add your numbers together to make a positive.
So the answer is the positive answers to the absolute values: 2,4,9
2+4+9=15
15 is a positive number.
