Answer:

the correct option is d. 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following events:

x: A drought occurd

y: Water rationing.

Therefore, according to the plaster we have:

P [x] = 0.20

P [y | x] = 0.10

Now P [it is a drought and water rationing happens] =

P [x n y] = P [y | x] * P [x] = 0.10 * 0.20 = 0.02

Which means that the correct option is d. 0.02

Tell whether the equation has one, zero, or infinitely many solutions:<br>9(x - 4) +15=9x – 21​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides, subtract 9x, and add 21x to both sides and you will get 0 = 0 so there is infinite solutions.

A cylindrical can is to have volume 1500 cubic centimeters. determine the radius and the height which will minimize the amount o
Degger [83]
Assuming R and H:
So volume is pir^2 * H = 1500 and H = 1500/(pir^2)  while surface area is A= 2pir*H + 2pir^2 
A = 2pir(r+h)= 2piR^2 + 2pir*1500/(pir^2)= 2piR^2 + 3000/r
For A to take minimum, get the derivative 4pir - 3000/R^2 and let it be 0 
4pir^3 - 3000 = 0 
r = cbrt(3000/(4pi)) ≈ 6.20
h = 1500/(pi(6.20)^2) ≈ 12.42
