Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card an

d B be the analogous event for MasterCard. Suppose that P(A) = 0.6 and P(B) = 0.3. (a) Could it be the case that P(A ∩ B) = 0.5? Why or why not? [Hint: For any two sets A and B if A is a subset of B then P(A) ≤ P(B).]

Answer:

We have that B = 0.3.

So

0.3 = b + (A \cap B)

However, b is a probability, which means that it cannot be negative. So no, P(A ∩ B) cannot be 0.5. It can, at most, be 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event A:

Probability that a student has a Visa card.

Event B:

Probability that the student has a MasterCard.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that a student has a Visa card but not a MasterCard and A \cap B is the probability that a student has both these cards.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

In this problem, we have that:

A = 0.6, B = 0.3

(a) Could it be the case that P(A ∩ B) = 0.5?

We have that B = 0.3.

So

0.3 = b + (A \cap B)

However, b is a probability, which means that it cannot be negative. So no, P(A ∩ B) cannot be 0.5. It can, at most, be 0.3.

6a+(8b+2a)=6a+(2a+8b)=0 <br><br>please help me solve this
solniwko [45]
<span>Simplifying (6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0 Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b) (6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 Reorder the terms: ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0 Reorder the terms: (48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0 (0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 (36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Solving 36a2 + -64b2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '64b2' to each side of the equation. 36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2 Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2 36a2 = 0 + 64b2 Remove the zero: 36a2 = 64b2 Divide each side by '36'. a2 = 1.777777778b2 Simplifying a2 = 1.777777778b2 Take the square root of each side: a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
