Let's think of an example which would better help visualize this situation. 

1) Someone exercises a lot so they can concentrate more on their homework (here running and concentration on homework are dependent events)

2) Someone exercises a lot because they wear a blue t-shirt (here, you can clearly see that wearing a blue shirt and exercising are not related. These events are independent).

Now concentrating on P(a | b) = Probability a occurred if b occurred. 

It does not matter if b occurred (just like it didn't matter that the person wore a blue shirt which meant that they exercised) for the outcome a to occur. 

Therefore, probability of P(a | b) = P(a) 

P(a | b) = 0.65 

Hope I helped :)

The volume of a cube related to the area of a face by the formula V =A^3/2. What is the volume of a cube whose face has an area
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Volume = 125 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the volume of the cube

What we have to do here is to substitute the value of the area

We have this as

:

V = 25^(3/2)

V = (√25)^3

V = 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 mm^3

sammy [17]
We are given an angle of elevation of 2 degrees and distance in the x axis of 5280 feet and we are asked in the problem to determine the height of the building. We use the tangent function to determine the height: that is tan 2 = h / 5280; h is equal then to 184 ft.
