Suppose that events a and b are mutually exclusive with p(a) = ½ and p(b) = ⅓.

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.

Critical Thinking Explain how the formulas for the perimeter and area of a square may be derived from the corresponding formulas

vazorg [7]

The formulas for the perimeter and area of a square may be derived from the corresponding formulas for a rectangle because, like rectangles, squares are quadrilaterals, therefore sharing the same formal characteristics as a rectangle. They both contain a pair of lengths and a pair of widths, giving us 2-dimensional figures on a plane.

Answer:

B. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$2y-7\left(y+8\right)=1-5y\\\\\mathrm{Expand}\:-7\left(y+8\right):\quad -7y-56\\2y-7y-56=1-5y\\\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:2y-7y=-5y\\-5y-56=1-5y\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}56\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-5y-56+56=1-5y+56\\\\Simplify\\-5y=-5y+57\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}5y\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\-5y+5y=-5y+57+5y\\\\Simplify\\0=57$

The regular price of a winter coat is $65.50. It is on sale for $52.40. what is the percent decrease of the winter coat

marishachu [46]

I believe the percent decrease is 20%
as when you multiply 65.5 by 20%
it gives you 13.1
when you minus 13.1 from 65.50
it gives you $52.4

Given f(x) = 3x^3+ kx – 11, and x – 1 is a factor of f(x), then what is the value<br> of k?

STatiana [176]

let's recall the remainder theorem.

we know that (x-1) is a factor, that means x -1 = 0 or x = 1.

since we know that (x-1) is a factor, then dividing the polynomial by it will give us a remainder of 0, which correlates with saying that f(1) = 0, in this case, so we can simply plug in "1" as the argument, knowing it gives 0.

$f(x)=3x^3+kx-11\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{0}{f(1)}=3(1)^3+k(1)-11\implies \stackrel{f(1)}{0}=3+k-11\implies 0=-8+k\implies 8=k$
