(a) If A,B,C are mutually exclusive, then

P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap C)=P(B\cap C)=P(A\cap B\cap C)=0

so we have

P(A\cup B\cup C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=\dfrac{47}{60}

(b) If A,B,C are mutually independent, then

P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B),

P(A\cap C)=P(A)P(C),

P(B\cap C)=P(B)P(C),

P(A\cap B\cap C)=P(A)P(B)P(C)

so that

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

P(A\cup B\cup C)=\dfrac{47}{60}-\left(\dfrac1{12}+\dfrac1{15}+\dfrac1{20}\right)+\dfrac1{60}

P(A\cup B\cup C)=\dfrac35

Identify the slope by converting standard form into slope-intercept form.<br> 12x - 9y = -9
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-9y=-9

9y=12x-(-9)

9y=12x+9

y=12/9x+9/9

y=4/3x+1

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,

so the slope is 4/3

(90) points ill give brainly immideatly but gotta be right -------- Maria and her parents are hiking in the mountains. During on
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(C) Maria's elevation increased between 9:00 and 12:00

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, we can test each statement.

For A, it says Maria's elevation remained constant for 2 hours. Looking at the graph, we can see that it remained constant for just one hour, so this is eliminated.

For B, Maria's elevation decreased between 1:00 and 3:00, we can see that while x is between 1:00 and 3:00, the y is decreasing, meaning this statement is false - this is eliminated.

For C, Maria's elevation increased between 9:00 and 12:00, we can see that while x is between 9:00 and 12:00, the graph is increasing - which means this is correct.

For D, Maria spent more time decreasing her elevation than increasing, we can count how many hours were spent doing each. Comparing the x-axis, we can see that Maria spent 5 hours increasing and 3 hours decreasing, meaning that Maria spent more time INCREASING than decreasing, making this statement false.

Hope this helped!
