Answer:

B.  `29/40`

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive.  This means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

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

Our events are:

P(girl or 7th grade) = P(girl)+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 40 girls out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 36 7th graders in the choir out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 18 7th grade girls in the choir:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-18/80 = 76/80-18/80 = 58/80

Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2:

(58÷2)/(80÷2) = 29/40

Show that the relation R consisting of all pairs(x, y)such that x and y are bit strings of length three or more that agree in th
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalence relation R satisfies

  • Reflexivity: for all x on the underlying set in which R is defined, (x,x)∈R, or xRx.
  • Symmetry: For all x,y, if xRy then yRx.
  • Transitivity: For all x,y,z, If xRy and yRz then xRz.

Let's check these properties: Let x,y,z be bit strings of length three or more

The first 3 bits of x are, of course, the same 3 bits of x, hence xRx.

If xRy, then then the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of x are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bits of y respectively. Then y agrees with x on its first third bits (by symmetry of equality), hence yRx.

If xRy and yRz, x agrees with y on its first 3 bits and y agrees with z in its first 3 bits. Therefore x agrees with z in its first 3 bits (by transitivity of equality), hence xRz.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.
gregori [183]

Greetings!

Answer:

2y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the slope of the current equation.

This is the number in front of the x.

Seeing as this is -2x, the slope of this line is -2

When finding the slope of a line perpendicular, you need to find the \frac{-1}{slope}

So, in this case it is:

\frac{-1}{-2}

The negatives cancel out which leave \frac{1}{2}

So the gradient is \frac{1}{2}


Now, to find the equation of a line, you need to use:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where ya and x1 are the values in the coordinates (2 , -2)

So y1  = -2, x1 = 2, and m is a half. Plug these values in:

y - - 2 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2)

We need to get rid of the half so we multiply the whole equation by 2:

2y - - 4 = (x - 2)

The minus and the negative turn into a positive:

2y + 4 = x - 2

And now simply move the +4 over to the other side, making it a negative:

2y =  -2 - 4 + x

Simplify:

2y = x - 6

<h3>So the equation of the line is 2y = x - 6</h3>
