If two events a and b are independent and you know that p(a) = 0.65, what is the value of p(a | b)?

1 answer:

5 0

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 :)

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Reasoning triangle $abc$ has a perimeter of $12$ units. the vertices of the triangle are $a(x,\ 2),\ b(2,-2)$ , and $c(-1,\ 2)$

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{(~~-1 - 2~~)^2 + (~~2 - (-2)~~)^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{(-1 -2)^2 + (2 +2)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{( -3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies BC=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies BC=5$

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.
