Suppose that start-up companies in the area of biotechnology have probability 0.2 of becoming profitable, and that those in the
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a) 0.03

b) 0.68

c) 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

B: companies in the area of biotechnology

I: companies in the area of information technology

P(B) = 0.2

P(I) = 0.15

The two events are given to be independent.

a) P(both companies become profitable)

P(B\cap I) = P(B)\times P(I)\\= 0.2\times 0.15 = 0.03

0.03 is the probability that both companies become profitable

b) P(neither company becomes profitable)

P(B'\cap I')\\=P(B')\times P(I')\\=(1-P(B))(1-P(I))\\=(1-0.2)(1-0.15)\\=0.68

0.68 is the probability that neither company becomes profitable.

c) P(at least one of the two companies become profitable)

P(B\cup I) = P(B) + P(I) - P(B\cap I)\\= 0.2 + 0.15 - 0.03\\=0.32

0.32 is the probability that at least one of the two companies become profitable

13 is the same as 1÷3. What is the exact quotient in decimal form of 1÷3?
meriva

13 is not the same as 1/3! The division symbol is not a symbol used to connect two numbers, it is used to find their quotient. For example, 6/2 would be like saying: You have 6 cookies, and 2 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? The answer is obviously not 62, it is 3! So, the exact quotient is 0.3 repeating. You could memorize this or use the fact that 0.9 repeating is 1.
