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>

Pizza planet is running a sell 3 pizzas for $16.50. What is the unit rate for one pizza?
8090 [49]

Answer:

$5.30

Step-by-step explanation:

$16.50 = (3)p

[p = pizza]

To solve you have to separate the p by removing the (x3)

1) Divide both sides of the equation by 3

[ 16.50 / 3 = p}

2) Divide 16.50 by 3

[5.30]

3) 5.30 = p

Round off square root of 120 to the nearest whole number?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

for this question we can look at the whole answer for the square root of 120 which equals 10.9544511501

\sqrt{120} = 10.9544511501

now looking at our answer (10.9544511501) we want to find the nearest WHOLE NUMBER. in the current answer the whole number is 10, followed by many decimals.

10.9544511501

but to find the nearest whole number we have to round the place value BEFORE our whole number. (in this case the 9)

10.9544511501

we can now look at this highlighted section of our equation and think... is 10.9  closer to 11 or 10. well logically, to get to 11 from 10.9 we only have to go up by 0.1, rather than to get to 10, where you have to subtract 0.9.

10.9 + 0.1 = 11

10.9 - 0.9 = 10

But to make it easier, remember the rule:

the place value one place to the RIGHT of what you're rounding to, is what determines the new number. (in this case the .9)

and as any number 5 or above rounds up, we can say that our new number, rounded to the nearest whole number equals 11

10.9 rounded to the nearest whole number = 11
