Answer:

No, the events are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two events occurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B given A)

If the events are independent (event A does not affect the probability of event B), then P(B given A) = P(B).

However, these events aren't independent.  If Abbie places first, it affects the probability of whether Becca places second.

P(B given A) ≠ P(B)

P(B given A) ≠ 0.08

What is the radius of a sphere which area is equal to the sum of the areas of four circles of radius 7?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

radius = 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = 7 units

Find area of 4 circles:

1 circle = π (7)² = 49π units²

4 circles = 49π x 4 = 196π units²

Find radius of sphere:

4πr²  = 196π

r² = 49

r = 7

Find the length of the diameter of circle 0
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Diameter = 19.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Imaging a radius line from O to the endpoints of the 7. call this line R.

Label the part of the vertical line from O to the 90 degree intersection y.

Now you have a right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

R² = 7² + y²

also

y = R - 3

substitute for y:

R² = 49 + (R-3)²

R² = 49 + R² - 6R + 9

simplify:

0 = 58 - 6R

6R = 58

R = 9.6667

Diameter = 2(9.6667) = 19.33
