Answer:

x is less than 4

x is greater than 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x < -15x + 40 -5x < -15x + 40

+15x +15x -40 -40

10x < 40 -40 - 5x < -15x

÷10 ÷10 +5x +5x

× < 4 -40 < -10x

÷10 ÷10

4 < ×

zzz [600]

If two events are independent, then

$Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)$ .

Use formulas for conditional probabilities:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)},\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}$ .

For independent events these formulas will be:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(B)}=Pr(A),\\ \\ Pr(B|A)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(A)}=\dfrac{Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)}{Pr(A)}=Pr(B)$ .

Now in your case $Pr(A)=x,\ Pr(B)=y$ and $Pr(A|B)=x,\ Pr(B|A)=y, Pr(A\cap B)=x\cdot y$ .

This shows that the only correct choice is A.
