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

Which chemical can be added to an acidic soil to make it neutral ​it's easy​
Anna35 [415]

The most common way to raise the pH of soil is to add pulverized limestone to the soil. Limestone acts as a soil acid neutralizer and consists of either calcium and magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate. These are called dolomitic limestone and calcitic limestone respectively.

Answer:

6. Find the product for both sets of polynomials below by multiplying vertically. (4 points: 2 points for each product)

A)

4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x

B)

4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x

7. Are the two products the same when you multiply them vertically? (1 point)

Yes, the two products are the same when you multiply them.

Making a Decision:

8. Who was right, Emily or Zach? Are the products the same with the three different methods of multiplication? (1 point)

Emily was right, the products are the same with all three different methods of multiplication.

9. Which of these three methods is your preferred method for multiplying polynomials? Why? (1 point)

I prefer the table method because it is easier to understand what is going on, know where and what to do, and it is nicely and neatly laid out in front of me.
