Hi there!

To find the x-intercept of the function we need to calculate f(x) = 0.

$(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0$

Rule AB = 0, gives A = 0 or B = 0.
$x - 4 = 0 \: \: \: or \: \: \: x + 2 = 0$

Add 4 to both sides or subtract 2 from both sides.
$x = 4 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: x = - 2$

Hence, the solutions are:
(4, 0) & (-2, 0)

Suppose p(a) = 0.40 and p(a 

Between the probability of union and intersection, it's not clear what you're supposed to compute. (I would guess it's the probability of union.) But we do know that

$P(A\cup B)+P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)$

For parts (a) and (b), you're given everything you need to determine $P(B)$ .

For part (c), if $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive, then $P(A\cap B)=0$ , so $P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)$ . If the given probability is $P(A\cup B)=0.55$ , then you can find $P(B)=0.15$ . But if this given probability is for the intersection, finding $P(B)$ is impossible.

For part (d), if $A$ and $B$ are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$ .

1. How do you find the absolute deviation of a value from the mean of the data set?

nirvana33 [79]

Here's how to calculate the mean absolute deviation. Step 2: Calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are called absolute deviations. Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.

Chris bought six pounds of apples for 10.80. How much would 15 pounds of apples cost at the same price per pound?

love history [14]

Answer: $27

Step-by-step explanation: First we would like to know how much it costs per pound of apples. To find that out simply divide 10.80 by 6 to find the price for one pound. 10.80/6 = $1.80 per pound of apples.

Now, we want to find out how much 15 pounds of apples cost. Simply multiply 1.80 x 15 to find the price of 15 pounds of apples. 1.80 x 15 = $27 for 15 pounds of apples.
