Answer: -5/12

Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.

So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.

Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.

Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.

So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.

So our answer is -5/12.

Be very careful with your signs!

The weather forecaster says that the probability of rain on Saturday is 20% and the probability of rain on Sunday is 30%. a. Can
Annette [7]

Answer:

0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the weather forecaster says that the probability of rain on Saturday is 20% and the probability of rain on Sunday is 30%.

It is common sense to know that Saturday and Sunday are independent of the other

Hence Probability that it rains on both days = 0.2*0.3=0.06

Since for independent events joint probability is the product of probabilities

required probability

= probability of rain over the weekend (Saturday or Sunday

= P(Sunday)+P(Saturday) -P(both)

=0.2+0.3-0.06\\=0.44
