It is called a ray. Which is what you described
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the greater number and
be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

So, we have the follwing system:

From the first equation, we can derive
, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

Answer:
a.0.12
b. Dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The two events mentioned here are " print book is purchases" and "customer using gift card". P(P)=0.6 and P(C)=0.2. we have to calculate the probability of print book selection for purchase and payment is made through gift card i.e. P(P∩C). P(P∩C)=P(P)*P(C)=0.6*0.2=0.12.
b. If P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B), then the two events are independent. Here in the given situation two independent variables are "purchase of e-book" and "payment made using gift card"
P(E)=0.4
P(G)=0.2
P(E and G)=P(E∩G)=0.1
P(E)*P(G)=0.4*0.2=0.08 that is not equal to 0.1. So, the two events "e-book is purchased" and "Payment made by customer using gift card" are not independent.
7.86 x 4 is 36.156 because you have to line up the decimals and multiply them and then you get 36.156
