If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

If A and B are independent, then P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B).

a.

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

P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)

P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6

\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)

P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}

Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 minus x. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero
fomenos

Correct Question:

Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 minus x. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero's expression?.

a. It is accurate. The phrase can be translated as "three" = 3, "less than" = subtraction, and "a number" = X, SO 3- X is the correct expression.

b. It is inaccurate. Three is being subtracted from a number, so X-3 is what he should have written.

c. It is inaccurate. Three is being compared to a number, so 3 It is inaccurate. Three is being added to a number, so 3+ x is what he should have written.

Answer:

The answer is B because three less than a number means that a 3 is less than some number X meaning three is being subtracted from X. So equation should be X-3 rather than 3-X.

Find the volume of the pyramid
podryga [215]

Answer:

88 cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 3 measurements 6,11,4

Assuming them to be length, width and height of pyramid

⇒

Length=  6 cm

Width= 11cm

Height= 4 cm

⇒

\text{Volume of a Pyramid}= \frac{Length \times Width \times Height}{3}

Therefore Volume of Given Pyramid

=\frac{6\times 11\times 4}{3} =\frac{264}{3} =88

⇒Volume of pyramid=88cm^{3}

(1 point) The distribution of heights of adult men in the U.S. is approximately normal with mean 69 inches and standarddeviation
Ludmilka [50]

Part a)

The mean height is 69 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.

If we consider a interval of heights that relies on no more than two standard deviations from the mean, we will cover, approximatelly, 95% of men's heights. Then, we interval that we're looking for is:

Answer: 64 TO 74 INCHES

Part b)

Since [69,74] is half of the interval in the previous answer, we might expect half of 95% as the percentage of men who are in this interval. That is:

Answer: 47.5 PERCENT

Part c)

A interval of heights that relies on no more than one standard deviation from the mean covers, approximatelly, 68% of men's heights. Then, we can consider that the percentage of men that are between 64 and 66.5 inches is given by 47.5 - 68/2 = 13.5.

Answr: 13.5 PERCENT
