Yes. Think of it like this. You borrowed $1 from your friend for a candy bar. You now have -$1 because you owe your friend money. If you ask your friend for another $5 because you found another thing you wanted you have -$6. When you already have a negative, you are subtracting even more from that, which brings you to an even higher negative number

Line a is represented by the equation y=−2x+3 .
BartSMP [9]
The second line of eauation y=-2x+5 is parallel to a since both have the same slope which is -
-2
the first line of equation y=2x-1 is neither perpendicular nor parallel to a since the (slope of this line) x (the slope of a) = 2 x -2 = -4 not -1, so they aren't perpendicular and its slope isn't equal to that of a, so they aren't parallel
the last line of equation y=1/2x+7 is perpendicular to a since (the slope of a) x (the slope of this line) = -2 x 1/2 = -1

A construction firm bids on two different contracts. Let E1 be the event that the bid on the first contract is successful, and d
marissa [1.9K]

Calculate the probability that both bids are successful

Answer:

The probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E1 = the event that the bid on the first contract is successful

E2 = the event that the bid on the second contract is successful

P(E1) = 0.3

P(E2) = 0.7

Let P(A) represent the event that both contracts are successful

P(A) = P(E1 and E2)

Since both events are independent. P(A) becomes

P(A) = = P(E1 * P(E2)

By substituton

P(A) = 0.3 * 0.7

P(A) = 0.21

Hence the probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21
