Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain population of married couples, 30% of the husbands smoke, 20% of the wives smoke, and in 8% of the couples both the husband and the wife smoke.

Let A be the event that husbands smoke and B the event that wives smoke

Give that

P(A) = 0.30\\P(B) = 0.20\\P(A\bigcap B) = 0.08

To check whether A and B are independent it is sufficient to check

P(A\bigcap B)=P(A)P(B)

Right side=P(A)P(B)\\=0.3(0.2)\\=0.06

Left side = 0.08

Since two sides do not equal the two events are not independent.

You have to make proportions
 65mi/1h=125mi/xhours
you end up with 65x=125
125/65=1.92hours--> round it to 2 hours
it takes 2 hours

What is the area of the figure:
Luba_88 [7]

For this case we have that the area of the triangle is given by:

A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

We have to:

cos (45) = \frac {b} {24}\\b = 24 * cos (45)\\b = \frac {\sqrt {2}} {2} * 24\\b = 12 \sqrt {2}

The atura will be given by:

sin (45) = \frac {h} {24}\\h = 24 * sin (45)\\h = \frac {\sqrt {2}} {2} * 24\\h = 12 \sqrt {2}

So, the area is:

A = \frac {12 \sqrt {2} * 12 \sqrt {2}} {2}\\A=\frac{(12\sqrt{2})^2}{2}\\A = 144

Answer:

144

Chandra created a budget matrix based on her regular and expected expenses for the year. Expense Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May June Ju
Ivan

Answer:

Chandra's Average Monthly Expenses are;

1) For Both Jan and Feb are $269

2) For the remaining 10 months each are $244

Step-by-step explanation:

From Chandra's matrix all monthly expenses are all same that is,

Cell phone $71, Rent $1,025, Gym $75, Internet $25, Auto insurance $425, Gas $ 120, Food $145. which are all the expenses carried out every month for 12 months.

That means Chandra carries out a total of 7 expenses for the month of January and February while she carried a total of 6 expenses for the remaining 10 month which was noted from the matrix that Auto insurance was carried out only in the month of January and February.

Therefore, you start by adding up each month total expenses, which are ;

January = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25 + $425 + $120 + $145 = $1886

February = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25 + $425 + $120 + $145 = $1886

March = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

April = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

May = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

June = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

July= $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

August = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

September = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

October = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

November = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

December = $71 + $1,025 + $75 + $25  + $120 + $145 = $1461

Therefore Chandra's Average Monthly Expenses are:

1) January & February  = \frac{71 + 1,025 + 75 + 25 + 425 + 120 + 145}{7} = \frac{1886}{7} = 269.4286 to the nearest cent

≅ $269

2) For the remaining 10 month are = \frac{71 + 1,025 + 75 + 25  + 120 + 145}{6} = \frac{1461}{6}= 243.5 to the nearest cent

≅ $244
