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

I believe it's E.) 12.96


12 times 8% equals .96 so $12.96 should be the answer since it wants the final price with tax :DD

Please find the value of x
Margarita [4]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180 degrees

The box is a right angle which is 90 degrees

60+6x+90 = 180

Combine like terms

150+6x= 180

Subtract 150 from each side

150-150+6x = 180-150

6x = 30

Divide by 6

6x/6 =30/6

x = 5

If a polygon has an interior angle of 144, what kind of polygon is it? (find the # of sides first
ikadub [295]
<span>Each Interior Angle = <span>(<span>(Number of Sides -2) • 180 degrees<span>)<span> ÷ (Number of Sides)

Solving for number of sides
</span></span></span></span></span>
<span>Each Interior Angle / 180 = <span>(N -2) <span>/ (N)

144 / 180 = (n-2) / n

144 * n = 180n -360
360 = 36 n

n = 10 the number of sides
