Answer:

x=4/5

y=-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two equations:

$3\cdotx-9\cdoty=6$

$2\cdotx-11\cdoty=6$

We can eliminate x by making x of equation 1 be equal to x in the equation 2:

$x=2+3\cdoty$

Substitute into equation 2:

$2\cdot(2+3\cdoty)-11\cdoty=6$

Simplify:

$2\cdot2+2\cdot3\cdoty-11\cdoty=6$

$4+6\cdoty-11\cdoty=6$

$-5\cdoty=2$

$y=-2/5$

Substitute back into one of the equations:

$x=2+3\cdot(-2/5)$

$x=2-6/5$

$x=10/5-6/5=4/5$

Suppose two events A and B are mutually exclusive, with P(A) ≠ 0 and P(B) ≠ 0. By working through the following steps, you'll se

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two events A and B are mutually exclusive.

$A\cap B=\phi$

$P(A\cap B)=0$

$P(A)\neq 0$

$P(B)\neq 0$

a.For mutually exclusive events,

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0}{P(A)}=0$

Therefore, event A can not occurred if event B has occurred because two events can not occur together.

Answer:No, by definition mutually exclusive events cannot occur together.

b.When two events are independent

Then , $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A)\cdot P(B)}{P(B)}=P(A)$

If two events are mutually exclusive then

$P(A\cap B)=0$

Then , $P(A/B)=0$

Therefore, $P(A/B)\neq P(A)$

Hence, we can concluded that events A and B are not independent if they are mutually exclusive.

Answer:Yes, $P(A/B)\neq P(A)$

In the diagram, VZ/YZ=WZ/XZ. To prove that △VWZ ~ △YXZ by the SAS similarity theorem, which other sides or angles should be used

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: $\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$

Two triangles are called congruent if their corresponding sides are in same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

If two corresponding sides of triangle have same proportion and their inclined angle is same, then by SAS rule of similarity both triangles are similar.

From the given figure it is noticed that the ∠VZW and ∠YZX are vertically opposite angles. The vertically opposite angles are always equal.

$\angle VZW=\angle YZX$ (Vertically opposite angles)

$\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$ (Given)

By SAS rule of similarity

$VWZ\sim YXZ$

Therefore the angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.
