I'm not 100% sure.

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

$\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)$

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$

1)

n 1 2 3 4 5 6

f(n) 1033 932 831 730 629 528

First term (a₁): <u>1033 </u> Common difference (d): <u>-101 </u>

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = 1134 - 101n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 101$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 1033 - 101(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 1033 - 101n + 101$

$a_{n} = 1134 - 101n$

n 1 2 3 4 5 6

f(n) -39 -29 -19 -9 9 19

First term (a₁): <u> -39 </u> Common difference (d): <u> +10 </u>

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = -49 + 10n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = -39 + 10(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = -39 + 10n - 10$

$a_{n} = -49 + 10n$

n 1 2 3 4 5 6

f(n) 3.75 2.5 1.25 0 -1.25 -2.5

First term (a₁): <u> 3.75 </u> Common difference (d): <u> -1.25 </u>

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 1.25$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25n + 1.25$

$a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n$

(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect

Answer:

Only option A. cannot be simplified; is in its simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for A. to have a simplified form, it must have a specified degree or leading term, which it does not have, making it impossible to simplify.
