Answer:

A and B are not independent events because P(A|B)≠P(A)

is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If A and B are independent then we must have

P(AB) = P(A) P(B) and also

P(A/B) = P(A)

We are given that

A and B are two events.

Let P(A)=0.5 , P(B)=0.25 , and P(A and B)=0.15 .

P(A/B) = P(AB)/P(B) = 0.15/0.5 = 0.3

i.e. P(A/B) is not equal P(A)

Similarly P(B/A) = P(AB)/P(A) = 0.15/0.25 = 0.6 not equal to P(B)

Hence A and B are not independent.

On a blueprint, the scale indicates that 8 cm represent 16 feet. What is the length of a room that is 8.8 cm long and 3 cm wide

lana [24]

For the answer to the question above asking wWhat is the length of a room that is 8.8 cm long and 3 cm wide on the blueprint if a blueprint, the scale indicates that 8 cm represent 16 feet?
The room is 22.4 feet long

8cm=16ft
9.8cm=?ft

8cm 9.8cm
______=______
16ft x ft

Cross multiply
8x=156.8
divide both sides by 8

Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas.

vovangra [49]

The ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6 or oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

Solution:

Given that, Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas

She uses between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas in a ratio of 3 oranges to 2 bananas

Given ratio is:

Ratio of orange to bananas = 3 : 2

They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc

But we need a value between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas

So we can choose 15 or 10

Now let us choose 15 and solve

Let the oranges be 3x

Let the bananas be 2x

Therefore,

3x + 2x = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(3) = 9

Bananas = 2x = 2(3) = 6

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6

Similarly solve for 10

3x + 2x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bananas = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

N represents the quantum number. for n = 3, there are 3 possible sublevels that are 3s, 3p and 3d.
There are four sublevels that are s, p, d and f. In s subshell or sublevel there is 1 orbital, in p sublevel there is 3 orbitals, in d sublevel there is 5 orbitals and in d sublevel there is 7 orbitals.
And there are 2, 6, 10 and 14 maximum number of electrons in s, p, d and f sublevels respectively.
