Answer:

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 22 of them play basketball and 18 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

I know how to calculate the probability of students play both basketball and baseball which is 1330 because 22+18+3=43 and 43−30 will give you the number of students plays both sports.

But how would you find the probability using the formula P(A∩B)=P(A)×p(B)?

Thank you for all of the help.

That formula only works if events A (play basketball) and B (play baseball) are independent, but they are not in this case, since out of the 18 players that play baseball, 13 play basketball, and hence P(A|B)=1318<2230=P(A) (in other words: one who plays basketball is less likely to play basketball as well in comparison to someone who does not play baseball, i.e. playing baseball and playing basketball are negatively (or inversely) correlated)

So: the two events are not independent, and so that formula doesn't work.

Fortunately, a formula that does work (always!) is:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)

Hence:

P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)=2230+1830−2730=1330

Find the inverse of the given relation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

first look at all the numbers in the relation.then since inverse means opposite find the answers where the numbers in the parenthesis are in the opposite order than the question. Finally look for the answer In which all the positive numbers in the parenthesis(in the given relation) are negative (on the answers)and the negative numbers (in the given relation) are positive (on the answers).

A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing statement.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x+\frac{b}{2a} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}

Simplify the right side of the equation

we know that

\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

so

The expression is

x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

therefore

x plus b over 2 times a equals plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a
