Answer:

a) 0.03

b) 0.68

c) 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

B: companies in the area of biotechnology

I: companies in the area of information technology

P(B) = 0.2

P(I) = 0.15

The two events are given to be independent.

a) P(both companies become profitable)

P(B\cap I) = P(B)\times P(I)\\= 0.2\times 0.15 = 0.03

0.03 is the probability that both companies become profitable

b) P(neither company becomes profitable)

P(B'\cap I')\\=P(B')\times P(I')\\=(1-P(B))(1-P(I))\\=(1-0.2)(1-0.15)\\=0.68

0.68 is the probability that neither company becomes profitable.

c) P(at least one of the two companies become profitable)

P(B\cup I) = P(B) + P(I) - P(B\cap I)\\= 0.2 + 0.15 - 0.03\\=0.32

0.32 is the probability that at least one of the two companies become profitable

100 POINTS BRAINLIEST QUESTION ATTACHED!!
blsea [12.9K]

660 feet

given distance varies directly with time (t) then

d = kt ( k is the constant of variation )

find k using the condition d = 264 when t = 0.5

k = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{264}{0.5} = 528

thus d = 528t

when t = 1.25

d = 528 × 1.25 = 660 feet

Brainliest is given to the correct answer!

Answer:

a. p = 2\pi r + 8r

b. r = \frac{p}{2\pi + 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Radius of semicircle (r) = r

Diameter of semicircle (d) = 2r

Length of rectangle (l) = 2*diameter of semicircle = 2*2r = 4r

Distance around the track (p) = circumference of circle + 2(l)

Note: the two semicircles of the track = 1 full circle

Circumference of full circle = πd = π*2r = 2πr

Distance around the track:

p = 2πr + 2(4r)

p = 2πr + 8r

b. Rewriting the formula to make radius, r, the subject of the formula in terms of distance around the track.

p = 2\pi r + 8r

Factor out r

p = r(2\pi + 8)

Divide both sides by (2π + 8)

\frac{p}{2\pi + 8} = \frac{r(2\pi + 8)}{2\pi + 8}

\frac{p}{2\pi + 8} = r

r = \frac{p}{2\pi + 8}

Hayley so 20 tickets to the school play for total of $225. Early bird tickets were $10 regular priced tickets are $15. Wright an
alexandr402 [8]

System of Equations

For the problem to solve we'll use the following variables:

x = number of the early bird tickets sold

y = number of the regular tickets sold

Haley sold a total of 20 tickets, thus:

x + y = 20 [1]

Early bird tickets cost $10 and regular tickets cost $15, thus the total money collected is:

10x + 15y = 225

Dividing by 5:

2x + 3y = 45 [2]

We have to solve the system of equations [1] and [2].

Multiply [1] by -2:

-2x - 2y = -40 [3]

Add [3] to [2]:

-2x - 2y +2x + 3y = -40 + 45

Simplifying:

y = 5

Substituting in [1]:

x + 5 = 20

Subtracting 5:

x = 20 - 5

x = 15

Solution: Hayley sold 15 early bird tickets and 5 regular-priced tickets

The order pair solution is (15,5)

If square root m= 8, then m must equal ____. 4. 8. 16. 64
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

To find m, it has given you √x = 8. The opposite of a square root is squaring (exponentials). Simply just square 8 and you should get x = 64. You can check by square rooting 64, and you should get 8.
