The probability that Roger wins a tennis tournament (event A) is 0.45, and the probability that Stephan wins the tournament (eve

nt B) is 0.40. The probability of Roger winning the tournament, given that Stephan wins, is 0. The probability of Stephan winning the tournament, given that Roger wins, is 0. Given this information, which statement is true?
1.Events A and B are independent because P(A|B) = P(A).

2.Events A and B are independent because P(A|B) ≠ P(A).

3.Events A and B are not independent because P(A|B) ≠ P(A).

4.Events A and B are not independent because P(A|B) = P(A).

So assuming that this is the same turnament
the results are dependent of each other
I'm not sure about the P(A|B) not equal to P(A) part
but the answer is either 3 or 4

Answer:

Hence, option (3) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Roger wins a tennis tournament (event A) is 0.45 i.e. P(A)=0.45

The probability that Stephan wins the tournament (event B) is 0.40 i.e. P(B)=0.40

The probability of Roger winning the tournament, given that Stephan wins, is 0 i.e. P(A|B)=0

The probability of Stephan winning the tournament, given that Roger wins, is 0 i.e. P(B|A)=0

We know that P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

⇒   P(A∩B)=0

But if A and B are independent events then P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)

Hence, P(A|B)=P(A)

Similarly P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}

Hence, if A and B are independent events then,

P(B|A)=P(B)

But in this situation such a thing is not possible.

Hence, option (3) is correct.

Answer:

2/7x +3=9

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown be x.

Take 3 to the other side so: 2/7 multiplied by x= 6

Divide 6 by 2/7 to get the answer;

Therefore x=21

Sub back into equation to check answer.

What is the correct value of z?<br> A. Z=12<br> B. Z=13<br> C. Z=10<br> D. Z=11
inna [77]
<h3>Answer:  A) z = 12</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

RS = RT

2z-15 = 9

2z = 9+15

2z = 24

z = 24/2

z = 12

The reason why RS is equal to RT in the first equation is because we have an isosceles triangle. Recall that any isosceles triangle has exactly two sides the same length, and the opposite base angles are congruent to one another. The congruent angles are indicated with the single arcs.

In short: the base angles S and T are congruent, so the opposite sides RS and RT are the same length. This leads to RS = RT.
