a. Find the probability that a randomly chosen bat will have some parasites (mites or ticks).

b. If a randomly chosen bat has mites, what is the probability that it will not have ticks?

Step-by-step explanation:

a. P(mites OR ticks) = P(mites) + P(ticks) − P(mites AND ticks)

P(mites OR ticks) = 0.80 + 0.30 − 0.20

P(mites OR ticks) = 0.90

b. P(no ticks | mites) = P(no ticks AND mites) / P(mites)

P(no ticks | mites) = (0.80 − 0.20) / 0.80

P(no ticks | mites) = 0.75

c. If two events are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).

P(mites AND ticks) = 0.20

P(mites) × P(ticks) = 0.80 × 0.30 = 0.24

They are not independent.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

D. \sqrt[3]{5^7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this conversion is:

a^\frac{x}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a^x}

Substitute the values you currently have.

5^\frac{7}{3}=\sqrt[n]{a^x}

Since we know that

a = 5

x = 7

n = 3

Fill the square root with this.

5^\frac{7}{3}=\sqrt[3]{5^7}
