option c is correct that if the two events are mutually exclusive than they cannot be independent.

As, we know that "mutually exclusive events are those events that do not occur at the same time".

Mutually exclusive events do not share any sample points with each other, so they cannot occur at same time. Thus, if event A and event B are mutually exclusive, they are actually inextricably dependent on each other because A's existence reduces event B's probability to zero and vice-versa.

Therefore, two events with nonzero probabilities cannot be independent and mutually exclusive because if two events are mutually​ exclusive, then when one of them​ occurs, the probability of the other must be zero.

Hence, option c is correct that if the two events are mutually exclusive than they cannot be independent.

-17, 2, 21, 40, … is an arithmetic sequence.<br><br> True<br><br> False
Wewaii [24]

False

A arithmetic sequence is a sequence that has a difference of 2. We see that we have -17 ... and then we have 2 ... and then 21. There is NOT a difference of 2, as we can see. Therefore, yiur answer would be (false).

I would like you to help me with that since I do not understand very well please ​
JulijaS [17]

When you see the symbol "△", this denotes a triangle. Now combine the symbol with the letters FGH, this becomes △FGH, meaning a triangle FGH, with F, G, and H as the three points.

Now, the symbol "∠" means angle and "m∠" means the measure of an angle. So m∠F means the angle at the point F, m∠G means the angle at the point G, and m∠H means the angle at the point H. (I'll attach a diagram of this triangle).

Now we have to determine m∠H, which is the angle at point H. To do that, we have to find the value of x. To do that, we have to use one of the laws of a triangle, which is:

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°. This means when we add all the angles in a triangle, it sums up to 180°. Let's do that.

\angle F + \angle G + \angle H = 180\textdegree \\\angle F = (5x - 6)\textdegree, \angle G = (3x + 16)\textdegree, \angle H = (x + 8)\textdegree \\(5x - 6) + (3x + 16) + (x + 8) = 180\\5x + 3x + x - 6 + 16 + 8 = 180\\9x + 18 = 180\\9x = 180 - 18\\9x = 162\\x = 18\textdegree

Now that we have found the value of x as 18°, we can substitute its value to determine the angle H.

m\angle H = (x + 8), x = 18\\m\angle H = 18 + 8\\m\angle H = 26\textdegree

I hope you understand the explanation.

If a sprinkler waters 1/15 of a lawn in 1/3 hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?
sammy [17]

Answer:

ok so first we know that 1/3 of a hour is 20 minutes since

60*1/3=20

so every 20 minutes 1/15 of the lawn is mowed then we need to just multiply 20 by 15

20*15=300

300 minutes or 5 hours

Hope This Helps!!!
