Answer:

1.B. No. You need to know the value of P(A and B). 2.C. Yes P(A and B) =0, so P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question considering the following:

For two mutually exclusive events:

\\ A_{1}\;and\;A_{2}

\\ P(A_{1} or A_{2}) = P(A_{1}) + P(A_{2}) (1)

An extension of the former expression is:

\\ P(A_{1} or A_{2}) = P(A_{1}) + P(A_{2}) - P(A_{1} and A_{2}) (2)

In <em>mutually exclusive events,</em> P(A and B) = 0, that is, the events are <em>independent </em>one of the other, and we know the probability that <em>both events happen</em> <em>at the same time is zero</em> (P(A <em>and</em> B) = 0). There are some other cases in which if event A happens, event B too, so they are not mutually exclusive because P(A <em>and</em> B) is some number different from zero. Notice the difference between <em>OR</em> and <em>AND. The latter implies that both events happen at the same time.</em>

In other words, notice that the formula (2) provides an extension of formula (1) for those events that are not <em>mutually exclusive</em>, that is, there are some cases in which the events share the same probabilities in a way that these probabilities <em>must be subtracted</em> from the total, so those probabilities in common do not "inflate" the actual probability.

For instance, imagine a person going to a gas station and ask for checking both a tire and lube oil of his/her car. The probability for checking a tire is P(A)=0.16, for checking lube oil is P(B)=0.30, and for both P(A and B) = 0.07.

The number 0.07 represents the probability that <em>both events occur at the same time</em>, so the probability that this person ask for checking a tire or the lube oil of his/her car is:

P(A or B) = 0.16 + 0.30 - 0.07 = 0.39.

That is why we cannot simply add some given probabilities <em>without acknowledging if the events are or not mutually exclusive</em>, whereas we can certainly add the probabilities in question when we know that both probabilities are <em>mutually exclusive</em> since P(A and B) = 0.

In conclusion, knowing the events are mutually exclusive <em>does</em> provide <em>extra information</em> and we can proceed to simply add the probabilities of either event; thus, the answers are those in which <em>we need to previously know the value of P(A and B)</em>.

A spherical ball just fits inside a cylindrical can,16 centimeters y'all, with a diameter of 16 centimeters. What is the express
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is the expression of the volume of the sphere is \frac{4}{3} ×π× 8^{3} and the expression of the volume of the leftover space is π×8^{3}×16 - \frac{4}{3} ×π× 8^{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the given cylindrical can = 16 cms.

Diameter of the given cylindrical can = 16 cms.

Now a spherical ball just fits in this given cylindrical can. Thus the diameter of the ball is equal to the diameter of the can, equal to 16 cms.

Thus the expression of the volume of ball = \frac{4}{3} ×π×r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} ×π× 8^{3}

Expression of the volume of the cylindrical can is π×r^{3}× h = π×8^{3}×16

Expression of the leftover volume would be volume of can minus volume of the ball = π×8^{3}×16 - \frac{4}{3} ×π× 8^{3}.
