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.

If <em>c</em> > 0, then <em>f(x</em> - <em>c)</em> is a shift of <em>f(x)</em> by <em>c</em> units to the right, and <em>f(x</em> + <em>c)</em> is a shift by <em>c</em> units to the left.

If <em>d</em> > 0, then <em>f(x)</em> - <em>d</em> is a shift by <em>d</em> units downward, and <em>f(x)</em> + <em>d</em> is a shift by <em>d</em> units upward.

Let <em>g(x)</em> = <em>x</em>. Then <em>f(x)</em> = <em>g(x</em> + <em>a)</em> - <em>b</em> = (<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em>. So to get <em>g(x)</em>, we translate <em>f(x)</em> to the left by <em>a</em> units, and down by <em>b</em> units.

Note that we can also interpret the translation as

• a shift upward of <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> units, since

(<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em> = <em>x</em> + (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)

• a shift <em>b</em> units to the right and <em>a</em> units upward, since

(<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em> = <em>x</em> + (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) = <em>x</em> + (- <em>b</em> + <em>a</em>) = (<em>x</em> - <em>b</em>) + <em>a</em>.
