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.

Answer:

56°

Step-by-step explanation:

hii!

to solve this, we need to know that the angles of a triangle all add up to 180 degrees.

we are going to make an x equation here.

2x+3x+40=180

5x+40=180

    -40  -40

5x=140

/5   /5

x=28

angle a is 2x, so the answer would be 28*2 which is 56°

hope this helped out :)

Find a cofunction with the same value as the given expression. csc 52°
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To find a cofunction with the same value as the expression csc 52*, you would use the formula like this.  csc (x) = sec (90-x). So if you use csc(52) that equals sec(90-52). This in turn, equals sec(38). So the answer is B.

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. 3x+2y=16 2x-2y=4​
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = 4; y = 2  

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)  3x + 2y = 16

(2)  2x – 2y =  4        Add (1) and (2)

              5x =  20     Divide each side by 5

(3)            x =    4      Substitute (3) into (2)

  2×4 – 2y =    4

       8 - 2y =     4     Subtract 16 from each side

            -2y =   -4     Divide each side by -2

              y =     2

<em>Check: </em>

(1)  3×4 + 2×2 = 16

       12  +   4   = 16

                  16 = 16

(2) 2×4 – 2×2 = 4

      8    -    4   = 4

                   4 = 4

Mars2501 [29]
<h3>Answer:  shaded region has area 107 square feet</h3>

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

Work Shown:

A = area of larger rectangle

A = length*width = 9*15 = 135 square feet

B = area of smaller rectangle

B = length*width = 7*4 = 28 square feet

C = area of shaded region

C = difference in areas of A and B

C = A - B = 135 - 28 = 107 square feet
