Answer:  The calculations are below.

Step-by-step explanation:  The calculations are as follows:

(3) Given that for two events A and B,

P(A)=0.2,~~P(B)=0.3,~~P(A\cup B)=?

Since A and B are disjoint, so

A\cap B=\phi~~~~~\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=0.

From the law of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.2+0.3-0=0.50.

Thus, the correct option is (E) 0.50.

(4) Given that a fair six-sided die is rolled. We are to find the probability that an odd number is rolled.

Let, 'A' be event of rolling an odd number. So,

A = {1, 3, 5}   ⇒ n(A) = 3.

Let 'S' be the sample space for the experiment. So,

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}   ⇒ n(S) = 6.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the correct option is (D) \dfrac{1}{2}.

(5) Given that there are 3 red marbles, 4 white marbles, and 1 green marble in a bag and marbles are drawn without replacement.

So, the probability that 3 marbles can be drawn without drawing the green marble is given by

P=\dfrac{7}{8}\times \dfrac{6}{7}\times \dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{5}{8}=0.625.

Thus, the correct option is (A) 0.625.

(6) The sample space for rolling a six-sided die is  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

and the sample space for tossing a coin is {H, T}.

Therefore, the sample space for rolling a six-sided die and tossing a coin will be

S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}.

Thus, the correct option is {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}.

(7) Given that for two events A and B,

P(A)=0.2,~~P(B)=0.3,~~~P(A\cup B) =?

Since A and B are independent but not necessarily disjoint, so

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)=0.2\times 0.3=0.06.

From the law of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.2+0.3-0.06=0.5-0.06=0.44.

Thus, the correct option is (C) 0.44.

(8) Given that three coins are tossed.

The sample space for each of them is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

The equally likely outcomes when three coins are tossed together are

{(1, 1 , 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6)}.

So, the total number of equally likely outcomes = 6.

Thus, the correct option is (C) 6.

Hence all the questions are answered.

Answer:

The only right angles are between the lines (O,F) and (Q,D)

Step-by-step explanation:

by examination. The tangental line goes through the same point the diameter line goes through so to be tangental it has to be 90 degrees on each side.

Sandy charges each family that she babysits a flat fee of 10$ for the night and an extra 5$ per child Kimmi charges 25$ per nigh
Finger [1]
I am not going to answer each but here is a general answer.
y is total price and x is number of kids
Sandy's equation would be y= 10+5x
Kimmi's equation would be y= 25

For them to equal we would have 25=10+5x
Simplify 
5x=15
x=3
So for them to be equal, Sandy should have 3 kids.

So if someone has 5 children then he should choose Kimmi

Find the y-intercept of the following equation. Simplify your answer.<br> y = -10x -3/7
77julia77 [94]

Answer: (0, -3/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y-intercept would be the value of y when x is at 0, which is when the Y axis is intercepted. -3/7 is the starting position of the function when the the X = 0.
