An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the A

sian project is successful and B be the event that the European project is successful. Suppose that A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.8 and P(B) = 0.2.a. If the Asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the European project is also not successful? Explain your reasoning.b. What is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful?c. Given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

a) P(B^c)=0.8

b) P(A∪B)=0.84

c) P=0.762

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the Asian project is successful and B be the event that the European project is successful.  

We know that A and B are independent events with probability

P(A) = 0.8  

P(B) = 0.2

We know that

P(A∩B)=P(A)·P(B)=0.8·0.2=0.16

a) We know that A and B are independent events, we get

P(B^c)=1-P(B)=1-0.2=0.8

P(B^c)=0.8

b) P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

P(A∪B)=0.8+0.2-0.16

P(A∪B)=0.84

The probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful is  P(A∪B)=0.84

c)  If at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful. We calculate probability

P=\frac{P(A)-P(A∩B)}{ P(A∪B)}

P=(0.8-0.16)/0.84

P=0.64/0.84

P=0.762

The complement of an angle is three times the measurement of the angle. Find the measurement of the larger angle.
olganol [36]
We know that two complements add up to 90.
Let's call the smaller angle x and the larger y.
3x = y
x + y = 90
We can use simple substitution.
x + 3x = 90
4x = 90
x = 22.5

Then, since we know that 3x=y, we can find the larger angle.
3*22.5 = 67.5

The supplement of an angle is three times the measure of the angle.
stira [4]

Answer: The angle equals  45 ∘  and the supplement is  135 ∘

Explanation:

Since the supplement is three times the angle, we can say    s  =  3 a

Since we know the supplement is  

180 − a , we can plug that in.

180 - a = 3a

180  = 4 a  (add  a  to both sides)

45  =  a  (divide both sides by  4)

Since we know the angle now, all we have to do is multiply it times  3  to find the supplement.

45  ×  3  =  135

A vending machine accepts​ nickels, dimes, and quarters. Exact change is needed to make a purchase. How many ways can a person w
arlik [135]
If he uses 1 quarter, he has 40 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways, by using 2 dimes andall four nickels, or all 3 dimes snd 2 nickels.That's 2 ways.
If he uses both quarters, he has 15 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways by using 1 dime and 1 nickel,or no dimes and 3 nickels.That's 2 more ways.    So there are four ways to make 65 cents.
