Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago

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)

There are 10 true-false questions and 20 multiple choice questions from which to choose a five-question quiz how many ways can t
beks73 [17]

Answer:

In 68229 ways can the quiz be selected such that there is atleast three multiple choice questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of True or false questions= 10

Number of multiple choice questions= 20

To Find:

How many ways can 5 questions can be selected if there must be at least three multiple choice questions =?

Solution:

Combination

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter. In combinations, you can select the items in any order.  

The question States there sholud be ATLEAST 3 multiple choice question,

So, we may have

(3 Multiple choice question and 2 true or false question) or

(4 Multiple choice question and 1 true or false question) or

(5 Multiple choice question and 0 true or false question)

Required Number of ways = (20C3 X10C2) +(20C4 X10C1) + (20C5 X10C0)

Required Number of ways =(\frac{20!}{20!(20-3)!}\times\frac{10!}{10!(10-2)!})+(\frac{20!}{20!(20-4)!} \times \frac{10!}{10!(10-1)!}) +(\frac{20!}{20!(20-4)!} \times \frac{10!}{10!(10-0)!})

Required Number of ways = ( 1140 x 42) + (4845 x 10) +(15504 x 1)

Required Number of ways = 47880+48450+15504

Required Number of ways = 68229
