The probability of the union of two events is the sum of their probability, minus the probability of their interserction:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

If we plug the known values into this formula, we have

\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - P(A\cap B)

From which we can deduce

P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{2}{15}

So, the probability of A \setminus B is a bit less than P(A), we have to take away all events that belong to B as well:

P(A \setminus B) = P(A) - P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{2}{15} = \dfrac{1}{5}

Drag the coordinates to match the coordinates of each point on the left with the coordinates of its reflection across the x-axis
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. (-2,-7)

2. (3,-9)

3. (7,-2)

4.(-3,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the reflection is across the x-axis, the y-coordinate will be flipped.

Example: (-7,4) would become (-7,-4)

HOWEVER, if the reflection is across the y-axis, the x coordinate will be flipped.

Example: (-7,4) would become (7,4)

Haeden observed that 65% of her coworkers prefer the local talk news radio station. If 28 of her coworkers do not prefer talk ne
vekshin1

Part A


Let x represent the number of coworkers who prefer the talk news radio.


65% prefer the talk news radio,



100-65=35% will be the percentage that corresponds to coworkers who do not prefer the talk news radio.


Part B


We apply ratio to find x.




65:x



35:28


Hence number that corresponds to 65% will be greater than 28.


If more, less will divide.


This implies that,



x=\frac{65\times 28}{35}=52


Hence 52 of her coworkers prefer the local news talk station.

How much is point (-24,-12) dilated by to get to (-18,-9)?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Dilation factor = 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

One point on the xy-plane is (-24,-12). The transformation is the dilation which is done on the point and the image is given by (-18,-9). Dilation changes the size of the shape according to the dilation factor. If the original x-coordinate is -24, then the image will be calculated by multiplying the original point with the dilation factor. Therefore, -18= -24 * k, where k is the unknown dilation factor. Simply solve the equation for k.

24k = 18.

k = 18/24 = 3/4 = 0.75.

Similarly, 12k = 9. k = 9/12 = 3/4 = 0.75.

So the point (-24,-12) dilated by k=0.75 to get to (-18,-9)!!!

4x +6y =0
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Here, x - 2y = 14
x = 14 + 2y

Now, substitute this value into first equation, 
4x + 6y = 0
4(14 + 2y) + 6y = 0
56 + 8y + 6y = 0
14y = -56
y = -56/14
y = -4

Substitute it into second equation, 
x = 14 + 2(-4)
x = 14 - 8
x = 6

In short, Your Answer would be: (6, -4)

Hope this helps!
