Considered two events such that P(A)=3/5, P(B)=2/3, and P(AnB)=1/5. Are the events A and B independent events?

1 answer:

6 0

By definition of independence, $A$ and $B$ are independent if $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$ . So neither the second nor third options can possibly be correct.

We have

$P(A)\cdot P(B)=\dfrac35\cdot\dfrac23=\dfrac25$

$P(A\cap B)=\dfrac15$

which are not equal, so no, $A$ and $B$ are not independent because the probabilities are not equal (last option).

What is the value of x with clear working out please?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Answer:  x is 46° 

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's first find Angle ACB

${ \rm{ \angle ACB + 23 \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{ \angle ACB = (180 - 90 - 23) \degree}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \rm{ \: \angle ACB = 67 \degree}}}$

• From alternative angles, x = Angle BAC.

• Since AB = AC, then Angle ABC = Angle ACB

${ \rm{x + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 67 \degree + 67 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 134 \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x = 46 \degree}}}$

Kisachek [45]

Complete question is:

A large pool of adults earning their first drivers license includes 50% low- risk drivers, 30% moderate-risk drivers, and 20% high-risk drivers. Because these drivers have no prior driving record, an insurance company considers each driver to be randomly selected from the pool. This month, the insurance company writes 4 new policies for adults earning their first drivers license. What is the probability that these 4 will contain at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers?

Answer:

probability that these 4 will contain at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers = 0.0488

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H represent High risk

M represent moderate risk

L represent Low risk.

The following combinations will satisfy the condition that there are at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers: HHHH, HHHL, HHHM, HHMM

The HHHH case has probability 0.2 ⁴ = 0.0016

The HHHL case has probability 4 × 0.2³ × 0.3 = 0.0096 (This is because L can be in four different places)

Similarly, the HHHM case has probability 4 × 0.2 ³ × 0.5 = 0.016

Lastly, the HHMM case has probability 6 × 0.2 ² × 0.3 ² = 0.0216 (This is because the number of ways to choose places for two M letters in this way is 6)

Summing all these probabilities, we have;

0.0016 + 0.0096 + 0.016 + 0.0216 = 0.0488

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

$x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$x^2 + 7x = -10$

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

$x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}$

$(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}$

Now we use the square root property, if

$x^2 = k$ , then

$x = \pm \sqrt{k}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}$

$x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}$ or $x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}$

$x = -\dfrac{4}{2}$ or $x = -\dfrac{10}{2}$

$x = -2$ or $x = -5$

Andre has a summer job selling magazine subscriptions. He earns $25 each week plus $3 for every subscription he sells. Andre hop

Strike441 [17]

Answer: 25 + 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is lacking the last part:

Write an expression for the amount of money he makes this week.

So, to answer this we have to write an expression:

The fixed amount that he earns per week (25) plus the product of the amount he earns per subscription (3) and the number of subscriptions sold (n) , must be equal to his weekly earnings.

Mathematically speaking:

25 + 3n

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
