a. By definition of conditional probability,

P(C | D) = P(C and D) / P(D)  ==>  P(C and D) = 0.3

b. C and D are mutually exclusive if P(C and D) = 0, but this is clearly not the case, so no.

c. C and D are independent if P(C and D) = P(C) P(D). But P(C) P(D) = 0.2 ≠ 0.3, so no.

d. Using the inclusion/exclusion principle, we have

P(C or D) = P(C) + P(D) - P(C and D)  ==>  P(C or D) = 0.6

e. Using the definition of conditional probability again, we have

P(D | C) = P(C and D) / P(C)  ==>  P(D | C) = 0.75

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute x = 4 , y = 6 into the expression

y - (5 - (x - y))

= 6 - (5 - (6 - 4))

= 6 - (5 - 2))

= 6 - 3

= 3

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i
jeka94

Let a,b,c be the time it takes for pumps A, B, and C (respectively) to fill 1 tank. Then

\begin{cases}\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b=\dfrac1{\frac65}=\dfrac56\\\\\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c=\dfrac1{\frac32}=\dfrac23\\\\\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\end{cases}

Now,

\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b\right)-\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac56-\dfrac23\implies\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c=\dfrac16

Then

\left(\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c\right)+\left(\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac12+\dfrac16\implies\dfrac2b=\dfrac23\implies b=3

This means

\dfrac1a+\dfrac13=\dfrac56\implies\dfrac1a=\dfrac12\implies a=2

and

\dfrac13+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\implies\dfrac1c=\dfrac16\implies c=6

Working together, all 3 pumps would operate at a rate of

\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1

or 1 tank in 1 hour, so the answer is D.
