The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, which of these conditio

ns must be true?
a. P(B|A) = y
b. P(A|B) = y
c. P(B|A) = x
d. P(A and B) = x + y

e. P(A and B) = x/y

If two events are independent, then

Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B).

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}.

For independent events these formulas will be:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B).

Now in your case Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y and Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y.

This shows that the only correct choice is A.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "d. P(A and B) = x + y." The probability of event A is x, and the probability of event B is y. If the two events are independent, the condition must be true is this d. P(A and B) = x + y

A research engineer for a tire manufacturer is investigating tire life for a new rubber compound. She has built 10 tires and tes
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The standard deviation of tire life does exceed 3000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Chi-Square Hypothesis Test for the Standard Deviation, here we have

\bf H_0: \sigma = 3000

\bf H_a: \sigma > 3000

so, this is an upper one-tailed test.

The <em>test statistic</em> is

\bf T=\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2}

where

<em>n = 10 is the sample size</em>

<em>s = sample standard deviation</em>

\bf \sigma = population standard deviation

we would reject the null hypothesis if

\bf T>\chi^2_{(\alpha,n-1)}

where

\bf \chi^2_{(\alpha,n-1)}

is the critical value corresponding to the level of significance \bf \alpha with n-1 degrees of freedom.

we can use either a table or a spreadsheet to compute this value.

In Excel use

CHISQ.INV(0.05,9)

In OpenOffice Calc use

CHISQINV(0.05;9)

and we get this value equals 3.3251

Working out our T statistic

\bf T=\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2}=\frac{9*(2990)^2}{(3000)^2}=8.9401

Since T > 3.3251 we reject the null and conclude that the standard deviation of tire life exceeds 3000 km.
