Answer:

  11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the smaller one is x. Then the difference of their reciprocals is ...

  \dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}=\dfrac{(x+2)-(x)}{x(x+2)}=\dfrac{2}{x(x+2)}

This tells us that x will be the smaller of the two factors of 143:

  143 = 11×13

  x = 11

The two numbers are 11 and 13.

Given the following: P(A) =0.3 P(B) = 0.2 P(A OR B) = 0.5 P(A AND B) = 0 Which of the following is true?a. A and B are disjoint.
erastova [34]

Answer:

a. A and B are disjoint

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that P(A and B)=0, It means that event A and event B have nothing in common and it means that event A and event B are disjoints events.

The event A and event B are independent if

P( A and B)= P(A)*P(B)

P(A)*P(B)=0.3*0.2=0.06

So, P(A and B)≠P(A)*P(B)

Hence events A and B are not independent.

Option a is A and B are disjoints which is correct

Option b is A and B are neither disjoints nor independent which is partially false as A and B are disjoints event.

Option c states that A and B are independent which is clearly false.

Option d states that A and B are disjoints and independent which is partially false as A and B are not independent.

Hence the correct option is option A.

Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.
