Answer:

a) There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability that Alice watches TV.

If Alice watches TV, an 80% probability Betty watches TV.

If Alice does not watch TV, a 0% probability that Betty watches TV, since she cannot turn the TV on by herself.

a) What is the probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow?

Alice watches 60% of the time. Betty watches in 80% of the time Alice watches. So:

P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) What is the probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow?

Since Betty only watches when Alice watches(80% of the time), this probability is the same as the probability of both of them watching. So

P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) What is the probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow?

There is a 60% probability that Alice watches TV tomorrow. If she watches, there is an 80% probability that Betty watches and a 20% probability she does not watch.

So

P = 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1. Trapezoid

2. Kite

3. Square, Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Use the properties of quadrilaterals to complete the statements.

To find - A ..... has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

             A ....... must have two pairs of adjacent sides congruent.

             A ........ must have all congruent sides.

Proof -

A Trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

A Kite must have two pairs of adjacent sides congruent.

A Square, Rhombus must have all congruent sides.

Reason -

  • A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
  • A kite is a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of adjacent congruent sides.
  • A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.
  • A square can be defined as a rhombus which is also a rectangle . In other words, a square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles.
