Answer:

a) P(A) =P(a)+P(b) +P(c)= 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

b) P(B) =P(c) +P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c) P(A') = 1-P(A) =1-0.4=0.6

d) P(A \cup B) =0.4 +0.8-0.2 =1.0

e)  The intersection between the set A and B is the element c so then we have this:

P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following space provided:

S= [a,b,c,d,e]

With the following probabilities:

P(a) =0.1, P(b)=0.1, P(c) =0.2, P(d)=0.4, P(e)=0.2

And we define the following events:

A= [a,b,c], B=[c,d,e]

For this case we can find the individual probabilities for A and B like this:

P(A) = 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

P(B) =0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

Determine:

a. P(A)

P(A) =P(a)+P(b) +P(c)= 0.1+0.1+0.2 = 0.4

b. P(B)

P(B) =P(c) +P(d)+P(e)=0.2+0.4+0.2=0.8

c. P(A’)

From definition of complement we have this:

P(A') = 1-P(A) =1-0.4=0.6

d. P(AUB)

Using the total law of probability we got:

P(A \cup B) =P(A) +P(B)-P(A \cap B)

For this case P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2, so if we replace we got:

P(A \cup B) =0.4 +0.8-0.2 =1.0

e. P(AnB)

The intersection between the set A and B is the element c so then we have this:

P(A \cap B) = P(c) =0.2

Nadya [2.5K]

Bisector is simply a straight that divides the line (through which it's passing) into two equal halves. Or simply, it passes through the midpoint of any line. It may make any angle with the line through which it passes.

Perpendicular Bisector is also the same but the only difference is that it makes an angle of 90° with the line through which it passes or cuts.

Each sister in the Johnson family owns one of these fish tanks. Each tank is shaped like a rectangular prism. They want to combi
Vilka [71]

Answer:

B.)536 cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of all the fish tanks.

Green fish tank...

4 x 9 x 6 = 216

Brownish fish tank...

4 x 4 x 8 = 128

Orange Fish tank...

6 x 4 x 8 = 192

Since we are COMBINING the fish tanks, we add the volumes.

216 + 128 + 192 = 536

536 cm^{3}

Hope this helped! Please mark as brainlies! Thanks!

Solve y = x^2 +11 <br> for x.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{y-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x² + 11 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

y - 11 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )

± \sqrt{y-11} = \sqrt{x^2}, hence

x = ± \sqrt{y-11}
