Answer:

The events "Spike passes chemistry" and "Spike passes mathematics" are not independent.

The probability that he fails both subjects = 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Spike passing Chemistry = P(Chemistry) = 0.35

The probability of Spike passing Mathematics = P(Mathematics) = 0.40

The probability of Spike passing both Chemistry and Mathematics = P(Chemistry,Mathematics) = 0.12

For the events "Spike passes chemistry" and "Spike passes mathematics" to be independent, P(Chemistry,Mathematics) should be equal to P(Chemistry) * P(Mathematics)

But P(Chemistry) * P(Mathematics)=0.35*0.40 =0.14

So the two events are not independent.

The Probability that he passes Chemistry or Mathematics is given by P(Chemistry) + P(Mathematics) - P(Chemistry,Mathematics)

= 0.35+0.40-0.12=0.63

So the probability that he fails both subjects is the complement of this, namely (1 - 0.63) = 0.37

Find the value of <br> (16/81)^3/4
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1.92636657×10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question looks quite awful coz it might be (16+81)^3/4 rather than being (16/81)^3/4....But, if it is (16/81)^3/4 the answer is 1.92636657×10^-3

hope you find it helpful....Thanks very much...

Bob's Skate Shop had a profit of $3,563 during the month of August. The company models its profit using p=x^2+10x-12 where x is
Elis [28]
I entered the equation into a graphing calculator. clicked table and then scrolled down to the profit of $3,563. 55 skateboards
you could also try this equation. B=the number attached to x so 10, a=the number attached to x^2(or in other equation x^3 etc) so 1 and c is the number, so -12.
