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>

Solve the following equation: *<br> -9 (t – 2) = 4(t – 15)
iragen [17]

Answer:

6 =t

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 (t – 2) = 4(t – 15)

Distribute

-9t +18 = 4t -60

Add 9t to each side

-9t +18+9t  = 4t+9t -60

18 = 13t -60

Add 60 to each side

18+60 = 13t-60+60

78 = 13t

Divide each side by 13

78/13 = 13t/13

6 =t
