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.

45 units and is centered at
mariarad [96]

The correct question is:

A circle has a radius of 45 units and is centered at (-2.4, -4.8).

What is the equation of this circle?

Answer:

Equation of the circle is;

(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is;

(x - a)² + (y - b)²  =  r²

where;

(a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle

Now, from the question, the circle is centered at (-2.4, -4.8) and the radius is 45

Thus, plugging those values into the standard form of equation of a circle, we have;

(x - (-2.4))²  +  (y - (-4.8))²  = 48²

This gives;

(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304

You can use this graph to convert between
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

A. 48 Km.

B. 62.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram given above, the following data were obtained:

50 miles = 80 Km

A. Converting 30 miles to kilometres.

50 miles = 80 Km

Therefore,

30 miles = 30 miles × 80 Km / 50 miles

30 miles = 48 Km

Thus, 30 miles is equivalent to 48 Km.

B. Converting 100 km to miles.

80 Km = 50 miles

Therefore,

100 Km = 100 Km × 50 miles / 80 Km

100 Km = 62.5 miles

Thus, 100 Km is equivalent to 62.5 miles.
