I'm assuming you meant to say

P(A) = 2/3

P(A and B) = 1/3

If that is the case, then A and B are independent if and only if the following equation is true

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

So we multiply P(A) and P(B) to get the value of P(A and B). We don't know what P(B) is, but we can use algebra to find it

-------------------------

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A)*P(B) = P(A and B)

(2/3)*P(B) = 1/3

P(B) = (1/3)*(3/2) .... multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3

P(B) = (1*3)/(3*2)

<h3>P(B) = 1/2  is the answer</h3>

------------------------

If P(B) = 1/2, then

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

P(A and B) = (2/3)*(1/2)

P(A and B) = (2*1)/(3*2)

P(A and B) = 1/3

Which is the given probability for both events happening. This confirms we have the correct P(B) value.

A graph has number of days on the x-axis and number of canned goods on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 699) and (8, 3
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Slope:-63

Y-intercept: (0,825)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope= y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1

321-699 ÷ 8-2

-378 ÷ 6 =-63

Y-intercept:  

y=-63x+b

to get b (y-intercept) plug in one of the points and solve.

​

699=-63(2)+b

699=-126+b

699+126=-126+126+b

699+126=0+b

825=b

What is the slope of the line y=3x-5
xeze [42]

Answer:

The y intercept and the slope are given in the equation. y=mx+b is slope-intercept form. mx is the slope and b is the y intercept. so in y=3x-5, 3x is the slope and -5 is the y intercept (what y is when x is zero).

The city soccer club has thirteen new members and fifty-two returning members. If they break up into teams of eleven players, ho
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to add the new members to the old and then divide by 11. Ignore the remainder.

13 + 52 = 65

65 / 11 = 5 with 10 left over. Ignore the 10. That's not a complete team.

The answer is 5
