Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Assume that we have two events, A and B, that are mutually exclusive. Assume further that we know P(A) = 0.30 and P(B) =0.40.

What is P(A and B)?

What is P(A | B)?

Is P(A | B) equal to P(A)?

Are events A and B dependent or independent?

A student in statistics argues that the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are really the same, and that if events are mutually exclusive they must be independent. Is this statement accurate?

What general conclusion would you make about mutually exclusive and independent events given the results of this problem?

Solution:

The probability of the two events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are:

P(A) = 0.30 and P(B) =0.40

(a)

Compute the value of P (A ∩ B) as follows:

P(A\cap B)=0

This is because mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur together.

(b)

Compute the value of P (A | B) as follows:

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0}{0.40}=0

Thus, the value of P (A | B) is 0.

(c)

No, P (A | B) is not equal to the P (A).

(d)

As mentioned in part (a), mutually exclusive events are those events which cannot occur together.

That is, P(A\cap B)=0.

Events A and B are independent  if the chance of their concurrent happening is equivalent to the multiplication of their distinct probabilities.

That is, P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B).

The concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are not the same.

(e)

As the it is provided that A and B are mutually exclusive events, we know that P(A\cap B)=0.

Now compute the value of P(A)\times P(B) as follows:

               P(A)\times P(B)=0.30\times 0.40=0.12\neq 0

Thus, the events A and B are not independent.

Thus, if two events are mutually exclusive events they cannot be independent.

A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll
Over [174]

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

Find the fifth term in the sequence that is defined as follows an=n2+2
Angelina_Jolie [31]
A(5) = 2 + 5^2 = 2 + 25 = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
This sequence is defined as a(n) = 2 + n^2.
Thus, a(1) = 2 + 1^2 = 2 + 1 = 3
Then a(5) = 2 + 5^2 = 2 + 25 = 27
