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

Which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = 62 – 75? Select two options.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(b) = b^2 - 75

Required

Determine the roots

To get the root of the function, then f(b) must be 0;

i.e. f(b) = 0

So, the expression becomes

0 = b^2 - 75

Add 75 to both sides

75 + 0 = b^2 - 75 + 75

75 = b^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{b^2}

\sqrt{75} = b

Reorder

b = \sqrt{75}

Expand 75 as a product of 25 and 3

b = \sqrt{25*3}

Split the expression

b = \sqrt{25} *\sqrt{3}

b = \±5 *\sqrt{3}

b = \±5 \sqrt{3}

b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}

The options are not clear enough; however the roots of the equation are b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}

Help asap idek what to do
daser333 [38]

So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.

Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is

y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.

Pythagorean Theorem with Known Legs
stepan [7]

you're given the pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

what you're trying to find is ?, which is the number under the radical.

let's pretend one leg is a and the other is b.

a = 9

b = 10

so let's plug it into the equation. we get 9^2 + 10^2 = c^2

so that equals 81 + 100 = c^2

181 = c^2

so c will equal the square root of 181. therefore, ? = 181.

hope i helped! good luck.
