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.

The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm3 . If a block of ice has a volume of 2300 cm3, what is its mass?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams ⇒ a

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of density is p=\frac{m}{V} , where m is the mass and V is the volume

To find the mass from this formula multiply both sides by V,

then m = p.V

∵ The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm³

∴ p = 0.92

- That means the mass of 1 cm³ is 0.92 g

∵ The volume of an ice block is 2300 cm³

∴ V = 2300

- Use the formula of the mass

∵ m = p.V

- Substitute the values of p and V in it

∴ m = (0.92)(2300)

∴ m = 2116 grams

The mass of the ice block is 2116 grams
