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>.

98-x2=0 solve this with the quadratic formula
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

             x∈{-7√2, 7√2}

Step-by-step explanation:

98-x^2=0\\\\-x^2+98=0\\\\a=-1\,,\ \ b=0\,,\ \ c=98\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-0-\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{-\sqrt{4\cdot49\cdot2}}{-2}=\dfrac{-2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=7\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-0+\sqrt{0^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot98}}{2\cdot(-1)}=\dfrac{2\cdot7\sqrt{2}}{-2}=-7\sqrt2

The Venn diagram shows event A and event B comprised of outcomes from the same sample space. The probability of event A is given
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will happen. An event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of zero. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between zero and 1

What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Subtract property of deviation becasue your subtracting 6y frrom both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Given: 12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

2)Simplify by adding 12y + (-4y): 8y - 40 = 6y - 18

3)Subtract property of deviation: 8y -6y - 40 = 6y -6y - 18

2y - 40 = -18

-2x-y=-5 In slope intercept form please! :)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-2x - y = -5 in slop intercept form would be <u>y = -2x + 5 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - y = -5

first add -2x to the left side to move it to the right side because whatever you do to one side u do to the other.

-y = -5 + 2x

divide by -1 on the whole equation

y = -2x + 5 is your answer.
