The probability of contamination in batch 1 of a drug (event A) is 0.16, and the probability of contamination in batch 2 of the

drug (event B) is 0.09. The probability of contamination in batch 2, given that there was a contamination in batch 1, is 0.12. Given this information, which statement is true? Events A and B are independent because P(B|A) = P(A). Events A and B are independent because P(A|B) ≠ P(A). Events A and B are not independent because P(B|A) ≠ P(B). Events A and B are not independent because P(A|B) = P(A). NextReset

We have:
Event A ⇒ P(A) = 0.16
Event B ⇒ P(B) = 0.09
Probability of event B given event A happening, P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A) = 0.12

By the conditional probability, the probability of event A and event B happens together is given by:
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ P(A)
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
0.12 = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.12 × 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.0192

When two events are independent, P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B) so if P(A∩B) = 0.0192, then P(B) will be 0.0192 ÷ 0.16 = 0.12 (which take us back to P(B|A))

Since P(B|A) does not equal to P(B), event A and event B are not independent.

Answer: <span>Events A and B are not independent because P(B|A) ≠ P(B)</span>

F(x) = 30.eˣ
We notice that the graph intercept y-axis at 30
in f(x) = 30.eˣ , for x=0, e⁰ =1 and f(x) = 30
In short it's the only function that has a y-intercept = 30 (answer B)

28.)Find the value of x.320(3x-10°A.) x = 22.67B.) x = 34.67C.) x = 21.6D.) x = 24.25
katen-ka-za [31]

Since the big triangle is an isosceles one, we conclude that the angles of the left triangle are: 32, 90 and 3x-10. Sinche the sum of this angles have to be 180° we have:

(3x-10)+32+90=180

Solving for x, we have:

\begin{gathered} (3x-10)+32+90=180 \\ 3x-10+32+90=180 \\ 3x=180+10-90-32 \\ 3x=68 \\ x=\frac{68}{3} \\ x=22.67 \end{gathered}

Therefore, x=22.67 and the answer is A.

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LOL The graph doesn’t match the y intercept :)

Anyway

If we have point (0,-3) we have a quadratic of

y=ax^2+bx-3 we are given points (-1,0) and (2,0) so

a-b-3=0 and 4a+2b-3=0

4a+2b-3+2(a-b-3)=0

4a+2b-3+2a-2b-6=0

6a-9=0

6a=9

a=1.5, since a-b=3

1.5-b=3

b=-1.5

y=1.5x^2-1.5x-3
