Answer:

a)0.08  , b)0.4  , C) i)0.84  , ii)0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P(A) =  professor arrives on time

P(A) = 0.8

P(B) =  Student aarive on time

P(B) = 0.6

According to the question A & B are Independent  

P(A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)

Therefore  

{A}' & {B}' is also independent

{A}' = 1-0.8 = 0.2

{B}' = 1-0.6 = 0.4

part a)

Probability of both student and the professor are late

P(A'∩B') = P(A') . P(B')  (only for independent cases)

= 0.2 x 0.4

= 0.08

Part b)

The probability that the student is late given that the professor is on time

P(\frac{B'}{A}) = \frac{P(B'\cap A)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4\times 0.8}{0.8} = 0.4

Part c)

Assume the events are not independent

Given Data

P(\frac{{A}'}{{B}'}) = 0.4

=\frac{P({A}'\cap {B}')}{P({B}')} = 0.4

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.4 x P({B}')

= 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.16

i)

The probability that at least one of them is on time

P(A\cup B) = 1- P({A}'\cap {B}')  

=  1 - 0.16 = 0.84

ii)The probability that they are both on time

P(A\cap  B) = 1 - P({A}'\cup {B}') = 1 - [P({A}')+P({B}') - P({A}'\cap {B}')]

= 1 - [0.2+0.4-0.16] = 1-0.44 = 0.56

-3(x + 5) = 6 - 3(2x + 4) solve for x and show work
salantis [7]
Your answer is x = 3.

-3(x + 5) = 6 - 3(2x + 4)
-3x - 15 = 6 -6x - 12
-3x - 15 = -6 - 6x
-3x + 6x = -6 + 15
3x = -6 + 15
3x = 9
x = 3

Which is a possible number of distinct real roots for a cubic function? Select all that apply.
Neko [114]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is a possible number of distinct real roots for a cubic function.

The maximum possible number of distinct roots are equal to the degree of any polynomial function.

Hence quadratic function has 2 roots

Cubic has 3

Linear has 1

Problem #2
marta [7]

Fractions can be converted to decimals and vice versa.

<em>The decimal equivalent  of the fraction of months with 31 days is 0.583</em>

Given:

<em />Total = 12<em> --- months in a year</em>

<em />Months = 7<em> --- months with 31 days</em>

<em />

The fraction (n) of months with 31 days is:

n = \frac{Months}{Total}

So, we have:

n = \frac{7}{12}

The decimal equivalent is:

n = 0.583

Hence, (c) is correct.

Log((4x)/(8))=log(x-5)
creativ13 [48]

The given logarithmic equation solved for x is x = 10

<h3>Solving Logarithmic equations</h3>

From the question, we are to solve the given logarithmic equation.

The given logarithmic equation is

log((4x)/(8)) = log(x - 5)

To solve the given logarithmic equation, we will determine the value of the unknown variable.

The unknown variable in the equation is x.

From one of the rules of logarithm, we have that

If logₓY = logₓZ

Then,

Y = Z

Thus,

From log((4x)/(8)) = log(x - 5)

We can write that

(4x)/(8) = (x - 5)

Now, solve for x

(4x)/(8) = (x - 5)

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × (4x)/(8) = (x - 5) × 8

4x = 8x - 40

Subtract 8x from both sides of the equation

4x - 8x = 8x - 8x - 40

-4x = -40

Multiply both sides by -1

-1 × -4x = -1 × -40

4x =40

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10

Hence, the solution of the equation is x = 10
