Answer:

B^c and A^c are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof:

We assume that A and B are independent.

By definition, the occurrence of A doesn't affect the probability of B.

Thus, the occurrence of A also doesn't affect the probability of B^c

So by definition, A and B^c are also independent, which by definition again means that the occurrence of B^c doesn't affect the probability of A.

(Here we used the symmetry of independence.)

Therefore, the occurrence of B^c also doesn't affect the probability of A^c.

So by definition, B^cand A^c are also independent.

One could convert the proof to the language of math:

A and B are independent↓P(B|A)=P(B)↓1−P(B^c|A)=1−P(B^c)↓P(B^c|A)=P(B^c)↓A and B^c are independent↓P(A|B^c)=P(A)↓1−P(A^c|B^c)=1−P(A^c)↓P(A^c|B^c)=P(A^c)↓B^c and A^c are independent But now we used conditional probabilities, which might be a problem in case P(A)=0 or P(B^c)=0

OR

Since,

P(A') = 1-P(A)

P(B') = 1- P(B)

Now clearly P(A′)P(B′)=1−[P(A)+P(B)]+P(A∩B)

From set algebra we know that P(A)+P(B)=P(A∪B)+P(A∩B) Substituting, we have P(A′)P(B′)=P([A∪B]′)

Now from De morgans law we know that:

[A∪B]′=[A′∩B′]

Substituting, we have P(A′)P(B′)=P(A′∩B′) , as required.

The sophomore class is planning to sell school mascot puppets to help cover the cost of a class trip. A local supplier will char
kifflom [539]

Answer:

755 or more

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between revenue and costs. We want the profit to be $2000 or more, and we have both fixed and variable costs.

Let x represent the number of puppets sold. Then the costs are ...

... 76.25 + 2.25x

The revenue is 5x.

The above-described relationship can then be written as

... 5x -(76.25 +2.25x) ≥ 2000

... 2.75x ≥ 2076.25 . . . . . add 76.25, collect terms

... x ≥ 2076.25/2.75 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

... x ≥ 755

755 or more puppets must be sold to earn $2000 or more.

State which theorem you can use to show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.​
leva [86]

Answer:

Actually, there are two. They are the Parallelogram Opposite Sides Theorem and the Parallelogram Opposite Angles Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

POST means that if opposite sides of a quadrilateral are the same, it's a parallelogram.

POAT means that if opposite sides of a quadrilateral are the same, it's a parallelogram.

A quadrilateral has to meet both of these theorems to be a parallelogram.

What is 3/5+3/8 in simplest form
schepotkina [342]
The answer would be 39/40.

1. Find the LCD of both of the fractions (LCD = 40)

2. Make the denominators the same as LCD (The LCD would be 40)

3. Simplify (24/40 + 15/40)

4. Join the denominators
(24 + 15/40)

5. Simplify (39/40)

In decimal form its 0.975.
