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}

The perimeter of a rectangle is 208 inches. The ratio
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

65 in and 39 in respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the common ratio; when we multiply both L and R by this common ratio, we'll get the actual length and actual width of the rectangle,  Recalling that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2R, we get:

2(5r) + 2(3r) = 16r = 208 in

Then r = 208/16 = 13

Thus, the actual length is 5(13 in) and the actual width is 3(13 in.),

or 65 in and 39 in respectively.

As a check, calculate 65 in / 39 in; this comes out to 5:3, as required.

Then
