Segment addition postulate. Trying to help my son figure out how to solve. Given AC=39. A=2x-8, B=x×17. Find X, AB AND BC. We go

t 25 for X, and 42 for both AB, BC. Its not correct. 42+42 does not equal 39.

Segment addition postulate says
AB+BC=AC

assuming that A, B, C are in order, and assuming that those are the points,

legnth of AC=|A-C|=39 (|x| means absolute value of x)

A=2x-8
b=17x
AB=|A-B|=|2x-8-17x|=|-8-15x|


we are only given AB but not BC so this is not solvable unless you know BC
AB+BC=AC
BC=AC-AB

BC=39-|-8-15x|
that's as far as I can go since we don't know any more

Suppose that P(A)=0.5, P(B)= 0.4 and P(B/A) =0.6. Find each of the following.
Lady_Fox [76]

Part (a)

P(A) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.4

P(B/A) = 0.6

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B/A)

P(A and B) = 0.5*0.6

P(A and B) = 0.3

<h3>Answer: 0.3</h3>

==========================================

Part (b)

We'll use the result from part (a)

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.3

P(A or B) = 0.6

<h3>Answer: 0.6</h3>

===========================================

Part (c)

A and B are not independent since P(B) does not equal P(B/A). The fact that event A happens changes the probability P(B). Recall that P(B/A) means "probability P(B) based on event A already happened". A and B are independent if P(B) = P(B/A).

Events A and B are not mutually exclusive since P(A or B) is not zero.

<h3>Answer: Neither</h3>
