This item has no choices given,but here's how to check this out.

<span>Take the three sides of a triangle, add them in pairs. Check if the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side.</span>

If that is true, then it is possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

Let us try the measure of line segments given above.

3 + 5 > 3      3 + 3 > 3   5 + 3 > 3

      8 > 3       6 > 3          8 > 3

You see, each side lengths are greater than the third side length, therefore, you can construct a triangle out of these segment lengths.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

b) No, it's not independent.

c) 0.02

d) 0.59

e) 0.57

f) 0.5616

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, a Venn diagram should be useful. The diagram with the information of Event 1 and Event 2 is shown below (I already added the information for the intersection but we're going to see how to get that information in the b) part of the problem)

Let's call A the event that she passes the first course, then P(A)=.73

Let's call B the event that she passes the second course, then P(B)=.66

Then P(A∪B) is the probability that she passes the first or the second course (at least one of them) is the given probability. P(A∪B)=.98

b) Is the event she passes one course independent of the event that she passes the other course?

Two events are independent when P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)

So far, we don't know P(A∩B), but we do know that for all events, the next formula is true:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

We are going to solve for P (A∩B)

.98 = .73 + .66 - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) =.73 + .66 - .98

P(A∩B) = .41

Now we will see if the formula for independent events is true

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

.41 = .73 x .66

.41 ≠.4818

Therefore, these two events are not independent.

c) The probability she does not pass either course, is 1 - the probability that she passes either one of the courses (P(A∪B) = .98)

1 - P(A∪B) = 1 - .98 = .02

d) The probability she doesn't pass both courses is 1 - the probability that she passes both of the courses P(A∩B)

1 - P(A∩B) = 1 -.41 = .59

e) The probability she passes exactly one course would be the probability that she passes either course minus the probability that she passes both courses.

P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = .98 - .41 = .57

f) Given that she passes the first course, the probability she passes the second would be a conditional probability P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

P(B|A) = .41 / .73 = .5616
