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.

Answer:

A: y=1/3x+5

B: y=-2x+9

C: y=-3

D:y=2x+9

E: y=-10x+80

F:y=x-2

#1 rodney's error for

y=30x+10 is that he started off at 30 but he had to start off at 10 so it starts at (0,10) (1,40) (2,70) and keep going on by adding one to the x value and 30 to the y value

#2 rodneys error for

y=-1/2x+5 is that he went up by 1/2 instead of going down. it's a negative 1/2 so he had to go down

#3 Rodneys error for

y=x-2 is that he didn't start at (0.-2)

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2+y2−4x−8y−5=0.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

centre = (2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Given

x² + y² - 4x - 8y - 5 = 0

Rearrange the x/y terms together and add 5 to both sides

x² - 4x + y² - 8y = 5

Use the method of completing the square on both the x/y terms

add ( half the coefficient of the x/y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 + y² + 2(- 4)y + 16 = 5 + 4 + 16

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² = 25 ← in standard form

with centre (2, 4) and r = \sqrt{25} = 5

What percent of 140 is 50.4?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

X/100% x 140 = 50.4

X x 140 = 50.4 x 100

X x 140 = 5040

X = 5040/140

X = 36
