Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First choose the president. From the 4 people, everyone can be the president except Dan, so there are 3 choices.

Then, choose the treasurer. Neither Bob nor Dan can be the treasurer so there are only 2 choices.

Now choose the secretary. Cyd is the only person who can't take this position, so there are 3 choices.

We are asked by the number of ways of choosing the 3 officers. Using the product rule, this is equal to 3×2×3=18.

The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is .63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is .1

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) V and M are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is 0.63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is 0.11. The probability that a student has both cards is 0.03.

To find :

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard ?

b) In this problem, are V and M independent ?

Solution :

The probability that a student has a visa card(event V) is P(V)= 0.63

The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is P(M)= 0.11

The probability that a student has both cards is $P(V \cap M)=0.03$

a) Probability that a student has either a Visa card or a Master Card is given by,

$P(V \cup M) = P(V) + P(M) - P(V\cap M)$

$P(V \cup M) = 0.63+ 0.11- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.74- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.71$

The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) Two events, A and B, are independent if $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$

For V and M to be independent the condition is satisfied,

$P(V\cap M)=P(V)P(M)$

Substitute the values,

$0.03=0.63\times 0.11$

$0.03\neq 0.0693$

So, V and M are not independent.

The sum of 2 numbers is equal to 10. The difference between those same two numbers is equal to -4 find the numbers.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For problems like these I take the largest number in this case 10, and start writing out what 2 numbers would give me 10. 0+10, 1+9, 2+8, 3+7...while doing that I subtract the numbers as well. thus 3+7=10 3-7=-4
