The example that I can think of is a deck of playing cards. The two events that don't have a common set would be the black card and the red card. They are mutually exclusive because there can only be two possible colors. If the card is not red, then it is black (and vice versa). There is no card that consists of both colors.
Write 2 equations:
a +b = 39
and b = 1/2a + 6
Now replace b in the first equation with the second one:
a + 1/2a + 6 = 39
Combine like terms:
1 1/2a + 6 = 39
Subtract 6 from each side:
1 1/2a = 33
Divide both sides by 1 1/2:
a = 33 / 1 1/2 = 33 / 1.5
a = 22
Now replace a with 22 in the first equation and solve for b:
22 + b = 39
b = 39 -22
b = 17
The two numbers are 17 and 22.
To find out how many quarts there are in 40 gallons, we simply need to know how many quarts there are in one gallon. As the name implies, there are 4 quarts in one gallon, so we simply need to multiply 4 * 40 to find the amount of quarts in 40 gallons.
4 * 40 = 160
There are 160 quarts in 40 gallons.
Hope that helped! =)
This an undefined equation however it can be seen as
0/0=1
OR
0/0=0
Theoretical probability<span> is what we expect to happen, where </span>experimental probability<span> is what actually happens when we try it out. So the answer is FALSE.</span>
