Answer:

The events rain and Shameel missing his flight are not independent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events that are not affected by the occurrence (or no occurrence) of other events. These events do not affect the probability of another even taking place.

For example, the events of winning a lottery and being late for work are independent.

If events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent then:

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

And the conditional probability of <em>B</em> given <em>A</em> is:

P(B|A)=P(B)

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = Shameel misses his flight

<em>Y</em> = it rains on Monday morning.

The information provided are:

P(X|Y)=0.04\\P(X|Y^{c})=0.03\\P(Y)=0.26

The law of total probability states that:

P(B)=P(B|A)P(A)+P(B|A^{c})P(A^{c})

Use this law to compute the probability of <em>X</em> as follows:

P(X)=P(X|Y)P(Y)+P(X|Y^{c})P(Y^{c})\\=(0.04\times 0.26)+(0.03\times (1-0.26))\\=0.0104+0.0222\\=0.0326\\\approx0.033

If the events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent then,

P(X|Y)=P(X)

But the value of P (X) is 0.033.

That is, P(X|Y)\neq P(X).

Thus, the events rain and Shameel missing his flight are not independent events.

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se
kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51

\frac{17}{4} y = 51

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Write an equation of a line going through (5,7) and (4 , -4)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The equation of this line would be y = 11x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this equation, we first have to find the slope. We do that with the slope eqaution.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 7)/(4 - 5)

m = -11/-1

m = 11

Now we can use this slope and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

y - 7 = 11x - 55

y = 11x - 48

HELP ME WITH 16 &amp; 17
damaskus [11]

__Data__

The equilateral's lengths are all the same

Also if AB = AD = BD = CD that would mean all those sides have the exact same length

Answers and Explanations

15A. BCD has 2 acute angles and one obtuse angle, so this is an Obtuse Triangle

15B. If beforementioned = 5 cm

Then the perimeter is 5cm x 3 = 15cm

15C. ABC is a Right Triangle  

16. abcdef. Measure the angles using a protractor

17. The shortest side of ABC is AB which is 5cm, the longest is AC which is 10cm

Shortest side: Longest side

5cm:10cm

1:2 is the ratio
