Q and R are independent events. P(Q) = 0.4; P(Q AND R) = 0.08. Find P(R).

1 answer:

8 0

Because Q and R are independent, you have

$\mathbb P(Q\cap R)=\mathbb P(Q)\times\mathbb P(R)$
$0.08=0.4\times\mathbb P(R)$
$\implies \mathbb P(R)=0.2$

One hour after yolanda started walking from x to y, a distance of 45 miles, bob started walking along the same road from y to x.

Rufina [12.5K]

<span>Answer: When bob starts walking The distance between them is 45-3 = 42 miles If they meet at time t then Yolanda would have walked X/3 minutes and Bob would have walked (42-X)/4 mins X/3 = (42-X)/4 so X = 18 Bob would have walked 42-18 = 24 miles.</span>

George is reading a book.On Monday he read 1/3 of the book. On Tuesday he reads three-tenths of the remaining pages. He has 35 p

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=p/3

t=(3/10)(1-1/3)

t=(3/10)(2/3)=p/5

p-p/3-p/5=35

(15p-5p-3p)/15=35

7p/15=35

7p=525

p=75

So the book has 75 pages.

50 points! Tell whether the orthocenter is inside, on, or outside the triangle. Then find the coordinates of the orthocenter.

Nady [450]

Answer:

(1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

-1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2

m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

-1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
5x + 1 = -2x + 8
7x = 7
x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
