No, a & b are not independent if they're mutually exclusive.

Mutually exclusive means the two events cannot occur simultaneously. So if "a" happens "b" cannot. In contrast, two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.

A tennis ball can in the shape of a right circular cylinder holds four tennis balls snugly. If the radius of a tennis ball is 3.
Volgvan

Answer:

  about 33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of space not occupied will be the same as the unoccupied fraction of a cylinder of the same height and diameter as a sphere.

<h3>Volume of a cylinder</h3>

The volume of a cylinder of diameter d and height d will be ...

  V = πr²h = π(d/2)²(d) = (π/4)d³

<h3>Volume of a sphere</h3>

The volume of a sphere of diameter d is ...

  V = 4/3πr³ = 4/3π(d/2)³ = (π/6)d³

<h3>Unoccupied space</h3>

The fraction of space that is occupied is ...

  occupied space = (sphere volume)/(cylinder volume)

  occupied space = ((π/6)d³) / ((π/4)d³) = 4/6 = 2/3

The fraction of unoccupied space is ...

  unoccupied fraction = 1 -2/3 = 1/3

  unoccupied fraction ≈ 33.3%

Factor this equation<br> 4x^2+12x-7
Levart [38]
4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \  0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}
