Thirty percent of the students at a local high school face a disciplinary action of some kind before they graduate. Of those "fe

Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events to be independent, they must not effect each other. For two independent events, changes in one of the event do not cause any change on the other event.

To explain it in terms of probability, let's first define and calculate the probabilities:

P(F) : Probability of facing felony

P(C) : Probability of going to college

P(F ∩ C) : Probability of facing felony and going to college

P(F° ∩ C): Probability of not facing a felony and going to college

Assume we have 100 students:

Faced felony = 0.3 * 100 = 30

Faced felony and go college = 30 * 0.4 = 12

Not faced felony = 0.7 * 100 = 70

Not faced felony and go college = 0.6 * 70 = 42

Total of going to college = 12 + 42 = 54

So P(C) = 54 / 100 = 0.54

If P(F)*P(C) = P(F ∩ C), then these two events are independent. If not, they are not independent.

Let's calculate the probabilities:

As given in the question, 30% of students face felony so P(F) = 0.3

P(C) = P(C ∩ F) + P(C ∩ F°) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54

P(F) = 0.3

P(F ∩ C) = 0.12

P(F)*P(C) = 0.3 * 0.54 = 0.162 which ic not equal to P(F ∩ C). Therefore, these events are not independent.

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Determine the measure of Angle A
Lunna [17]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{(A)}\  96 \textdegree}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A parallelogram has two pairs of identical angles.</em>

The identical angles will be <u>directly opposite from each other</u>.

This means that:

  • Angle C = Angle A
  • Angle D = Angle B

Therefore, we can say that Angle A is 3x degrees and Angle B is x+52 degrees.

It's also important to note that all angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360°.

Since we know the measure of each angle, we can add up the expressions for each and find x.

3x + 3x + (x+52) + (x+52) = 360

Let's simplify this equation.

  • 6x+(x+52)+(x+52)=360
  • 8x+104=360
  • 8x=256
  • x=32  

Now that we know the value of x, let's use it to find the measure of Angle A.

We already proved earlier that Angle C is equivalent to Angle A. Since we know the expression for Angle C (3x) it'll be the same for angle A.

3(32)=96

So A is 96°

Hope this helped!

If b = 110 what is the value of g <br> IM BEING TIME PLZ HELP THANK YOU
Reil [10]

Answer:

its 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the know angles (110.60,70) then take that number and subtract it from 360, (360 is the number you get if you add all sides four sided shape)

Someone plssss help ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Naily [24]

Answer:

x = 22 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle and both angles added together will equal to 90degrees this means that:

(3x-5) + (x+7) = 90

(first, remove the brackets)

3x-5+x+7 = 90

( add the numbers together and the term x together)

( 3x+x ) + ( -5+7 ) = 90

4x + 2 = 90

(subtract 2 from both sides)

4x = 88

(divide by 4 from both sides)

x = 22

so the measure of x = 22 degrees
