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

What is the scientfic notation of 0.05
vredina [299]

Answer:

5×10⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
  • The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. a.  If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative.

        b.  If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

  • Therefore. The answer is 5×10⁻²

22. Solve 7x - 9 = 28+ 4(x - 1).<br> X=-3<br> X=3<br> x = 11<br> X=-11​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

c) x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: 7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1)

<u><em>Steps:</em></u>

1. Distribute 4 through the parentheses:

7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x) + 4(-1)

7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 [simplify]

7x - 9 = 24 + 4x

2. Subtract 4x from both sides:

7x - 4x - 9 = 24 + 4x - 4x

3x - 9 = 24

3. Add 9 to both sides:

3x - 9 + 9 = 24 + 9

3x = 33

4. Divide both sides by 3:

3x ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3

x = 11

5. Check your work:

7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) [substitute 11 for x]

7(11) - 9 = 28 + 4(11 - 1) [simplify]

77 - 9 = 28 + 4(10) [simplify]

68 = 28 + 40 [add]

68 = 68 ✔
