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>

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Let x = number of gate tickets, ($1.50)

Since there were 600 tickets sold, let (600-x) = the $1 tickets

1.50 tickets + $1 tickets = $700

1.5x + 1(600 - x) = 700

1.5x - x = 700 - 600

.5x = 100

x = 100/.5

x = 200 ea 1.50 tickets sold at the gate

;

Check: there were 600 - 200 = 400 ea $1 tickets sold

1.50(200) + 1(400) = $700
