Answer:

a. The probability is not equal to 1

b. P (A') = 0.70

c. P ( A U B ) = 0.80

d. P ( A' ∩ B' ) = 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Because these A and B are disjoint

b. since the probability of  A is 0.30 then the probability of A compliment is

    P(A compliment ) = 1 - P (A)

    P(A compliment ) = 1-0.30

    P(A compliment ) = 0.70

c. Since event are disjoint then intersection of A and B is 0, so probability of A U B is;

       P ( A U B ) = P (A) + P(B) - P(A∩ B)

       P ( A U B ) = 0.30 + 0.50 - 0

       P ( A U B ) = 0.80

d. The inetrsection of compilments of A and B are:

by using De Morgan's Law we have,

                     P ( A' ∩ B' ) = P [(A U B )']

                     P ( A' ∩ B' ) = 1 - P ( A U B )

                     P ( A' ∩ B' ) = 1 - 0.80

                     P ( A' ∩ B' ) = 0.20

A chemist wishes to mix a 30% acid solution with a 65% acid solution to obtain 175 quarts of 55% acid solution . How many quarts
Eva8 [605]

x = quarts of 30% acid solution

y = quarts of 65% solution

x + y = 175

Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So

0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25

That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.

Now solve for x and y:

x + y = 175  ==>  y = 175 - x

0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25  ==>  0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25

==>  0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25

==>  17.5 = 0.35x

==>  x = 50  ==>  y = 125
