If p(a|b) = 0.35, p(b) = 0.75 and p(a) = 0.44 are the events a and b independent ?

Hello :
note 1 :
p(A|B) = p(A∩B)/<span> p(B)

note 2 :
</span> A and B independent: p(A∩B) = p(A)×p(B)
calculate : p(A∩B)
p(A∩B) = p(A|B)×p(B)
p(A∩B) = 0.35 ×0.75 = 0.2625
but : p(A)×p(B) = 0.44×0.75 = 0.33
conclusion :
<span>the events A and B are not independent ?</span>

a math student is standing 40 feet from the base of a water tower. the angle of elevation from her horizontal line of sight is 7

Lerok [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

tower height = eye height + height above eye height

tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

tower height = 128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

You are given a side, a, and its opposite angle, A. You are also given side b. Use that in the law of sines and solve for the other angle, B.

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B}$

$\dfrac{10}{\sin 30^\circ} = \dfrac{40}{\sin B}$

$\dfrac{1}{0.5} = \dfrac{4}{\sin B}$

$\sin B = 2$

The sine function can never equal 2, so there is no triangle in this case.

Answer: no triangle

Second question:

You are given a side, b, and its opposite angle, B. You are also given side c. Use that in the law of sines and solve for the other angle, C.

$\dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

$\dfrac{10}{\sin 63^\circ} = \dfrac{}{\sin C}$

$\sin C = \dfrac{8.9\sin 63^\circ}{10}$

$C = \sin^{-1} \dfrac{8.9\sin 63^\circ}{10}$

$C \approx 52.5^\circ$

One triangle exists for sure. Now we see if there is a second one.

Now we look at the supplement of angle C.

m<C = 52.5°

supplement of angle C: m<C' = 180° - 52.5° = 127.5°

We add the measures of angles B and the supplement of angle C:

m<B + m<C' = 63° + 127.5° = 190.5°

Since the sum of the measures of these two angles is already more than 180°, the supplement of angle C cannot be an angle of the triangle.

Answer: one triangle
