If P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.2, and P(A ∪ B) = 0.4, then P(A ∩ B) = _______.

Mathematics

Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

P(A ∩ B) = 0.

a) NO

b) YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking about this through Venn diagrams we can sort of understand that:

if P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.2, and P(A∪B) = 0.4.

there's no overlapping between P(A) and P(B).

(If there was overlapping then P(A∪B) < 0.4, since you'd be excluding the overlapped part from getting counted twice.

Think of it in terms of calculating areas circles A and B, if the circles were disjoint, then the sum of the areas A and B would be 0.2+0.2. But if the circles were overlapping then the sum of the areas would be 0.2+0.2-P(A ∩ B), where P(A ∩ B) is the overlapping part)

since there's no overlapping P(A ∩ B) = 0.

a) NO

events A and B are only independent when P(A ∩ B) > 0 (or overlapping)

b) YES

events A and B are mutually exclusive when P(A ∩ B) = 0 (or disjoint)

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -3 and goes through the point (5,7).
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be D) y - 7 = -3(x -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now we put the slope in for m and the point in for (x1, y1)

y - 7 = -3(x - 5)

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The p denotes here the probability which is given below;

Given that

There is 4 oatmeal raisin

1 sugar

9 chocolate chips

And, 6 peanut butter cookies

So based on the above information, the probability when the one is chosen would be of chocolate chips as it contains the hight value in the cookie jar

So the same is to be selected

The length of a rectangular prism is 8
Lena [83]
Surface area is:

W=width
L=length
H=height

S=2*(L*W+L*H+W*H)

replacing the values

250=2*(8*W+8*1+W*1)

250=2*(8*W+8+W)

250=2*(9*W+8)

dived each member by 2

125=9W+8

9W=125-8

9W=117

\boxed{\boxed{W=13~unit~of~measure}}

The volume of a rectangular prism is

V=L*H*W

V=8*1*13

\boxed{\boxed{V=104~unit~of~volume}}
