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}

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a radius of 12 feet and
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Container A = 75.36 x 17 = 1,281.12

Container B = 62.8 x 18 = 1,130.4

1,281.12 - 1,130.4 = 150.72 is left in container A.

So, 1,130.4 was taken out of it.

1,281.12 divided by 1,130.4 = 1.13

move the decimal over two to the right. Or times it by 100.

Find the value of Q in the following system so that the solution to the system
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<h2>Q = -6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the solution of the system of equations is {(x, y): x - y = 4} - infinitely many solutions, then this system is consistent and dependent.

x - 3y = 4            <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2x - 6y = 8

Therefore Q = -6
