A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is upper s equals { 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4

comma 5 comma 6 comma 7 comma 8 comma 9 comma 10 comma 11 comma 12 comma 13 comma 14 comma 15 }.s={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. let event upper a equals { 3 comma 4 comma 5 comma 6 }a={3,4,5,6} and event upper b equals { 10 comma 11 comma 12 }.b={10,11,12}. assume that each outcome is equally likely. list the outcomes in a and
b. are a and b mutually​ exclusive?

You can think of this experiment as follows: you have to select a random number between 1 and 15, where each number is equally likely to appear.

Player A wins if 3,4,5 or 6 are picked.

Player B wind is 10,11 or 12 are picked.

Two events are said to be mutually​ exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time. So, in our metaphor, the question is: can we pick a particular number, so that both players win simultaneously?

The question is no, because if player A wins, we have picked 3,4,5 or 6, and player B wins with none of these numbers.

Similarly, if player B wins, we have picked 10, 11 or 12, and player A wins with none of these numbers.

So, the two events cannot occur simultaneously.

If you want to be more formal, since the events are subset of the sample space, two events are mutually exclusive if their intersection is the empty set, and this is the case:

A \cap B = \{3,4,5,6\}\cap\{10,11,12\} = \emptyset

Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither
GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

6x-5y=2(x+1)6x-5y=2x+2

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x-5y=-4x+2

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

-4y-x=4x+5

Add x on both sides of the equation.

-4y-x+x=4x+5+x-4y=5x+5

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 120°. What is the measure of each exterior angle? The polygon has how m
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

60°, arms 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total arms = n

total generated angles in a regular polygon is = (n-2)×180

now,

(n-2)×180 = 120 n

or, 180n - 360 =120n

or, 60n = 360

or, n = 6

A set of ordered pairs is called a relation. The set of all first components of the ordered pairs of a relation is the domain of the relation, and the set of all second components of the ordered pairs is the range of the relation. :)
