Answer:

a) C. No, a carton can have a puncture and a smashed corner.

b) The probability that a carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is P(X ∪ Y) = 0.104.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be mutually exclusive, the probability of the two events happening at the same time should be 0. But the probability that a carton has a puncture and has a smashed corner is 0.004 and not 0.

Then, we can conclude the events "selecting a carton with a puncture" and "selecting a carton with a smashed corner" are not mutually exclusive.

The answer is "C. No, a carton can have a puncture and a smashed corner."

We can calculate the probability that the carton has a puncture <em>or </em>has a smashed comer simply by adding the probability of each event:

P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)=0.1+0.04=0.104

P(X ∪ Y): probability that a carton has a puncture or a smashed corner.

Mr. Green is putting lights around 8 windows; each window is 3.5feet wide and 5 feet long. How many feet of light does he need?
zmey [24]
We must find the perimeter of all eight windows. To make it simpler for us, let's find the perimeter of one window and multiply it by 8.

2*3.5 + 2*5 = 7 + 10 = 17

17*8 = 136

Hope this helps!

A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big water slides. Steven spent $17 on his v
Fantom [35]
You didn't give any choices, but the equation looks like this: 17 = 2x + 5.  Solving that for x tells you that he went on a big water slide 6 times. 2 times 6 plus 5 is the $17 he spent at the park.  See how well that works out?
