Answer:

0.568

Step-by-step explanation:

P( e-book) = 0.28, P(On the bestseller list) = 0.4

Since event e-book and bestseller list are independent,

( Using formula, P( A OR B) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A AND B) )

P(e-book AND On the bestseller list) = P( e-book) * P(On the bestseller list)

P( e-book OR on the bestseller list) = P( e-book) + P(On the bestseller list)

- P( e-book) * P(On the bestseller list)

= 0.28 + 0.4 - 0.28 * 0.4

= 0.568

The slope of two lines are 5/6 and 2/p. determine the value of p that will make the lines
Anni [7]
Parallel:  the lines have = slopes.  We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p.  then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5.   (answer)

Check:  Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)?  YES

Perp.:  The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.

Then -6/5 = 2/p,  or

 -6      2
---- = ----
  5      p             Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3   (answer)
