The table shows the solution to the equation|2x-5|-2=3: which is the first step

1 answer:

5 0

|2x - 5| - 2 = 3 |add 2 to both sides

|2x - 5| = 5 ⇔ 2x - 5 = 5 or 2x - 5 = -5 |add 5 to both sides

2x = 10 or 2x = 0 |divide both sides by 2

x = 5 or x = 0

You are given the information that P(A) = 0.30 and P(B) = 0.40.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1.B. No. You need to know the value of P(A and B). 2.C. Yes P(A and B) =0, so P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question considering the following:

For two mutually exclusive events:

$\\ A_{1}\;and\;A_{2}$

$\\ P(A_{1} or A_{2}) = P(A_{1}) + P(A_{2})$ (1)

An extension of the former expression is:

$\\ P(A_{1} or A_{2}) = P(A_{1}) + P(A_{2}) - P(A_{1} and A_{2})$ (2)

In mutually exclusive events, P(A and B) = 0, that is, the events are independent one of the other, and we know the probability that both events happen at the same time is zero (P(A and B) = 0). There are some other cases in which if event A happens, event B too, so they are not mutually exclusive because P(A and B) is some number different from zero. Notice the difference between OR and AND. The latter implies that both events happen at the same time.

In other words, notice that the formula (2) provides an extension of formula (1) for those events that are not mutually exclusive, that is, there are some cases in which the events share the same probabilities in a way that these probabilities must be subtracted from the total, so those probabilities in common do not "inflate" the actual probability.

For instance, imagine a person going to a gas station and ask for checking both a tire and lube oil of his/her car. The probability for checking a tire is P(A)=0.16, for checking lube oil is P(B)=0.30, and for both P(A and B) = 0.07.

The number 0.07 represents the probability that both events occur at the same time, so the probability that this person ask for checking a tire or the lube oil of his/her car is:

P(A or B) = 0.16 + 0.30 - 0.07 = 0.39.

That is why we cannot simply add some given probabilities without acknowledging if the events are or not mutually exclusive, whereas we can certainly add the probabilities in question when we know that both probabilities are mutually exclusive since P(A and B) = 0.

In conclusion, knowing the events are mutually exclusive does provide extra information and we can proceed to simply add the probabilities of either event; thus, the answers are those in which we need to previously know the value of P(A and B).

Keiko has seven colors of lanyard. She uses three different colors to make a keychain. How many different combinations can she c

AleksAgata [21]

Combination = doesn't matter what order
Permutation = order matters

There are two methods to work out combinations.

Method 1 List out possibilities
123 124 125 126 127 134 135 136 137 145 146 147 156 157 167
234 235 236 237 245 246 247 256 257 267
345 346 347 356 357 367
456 457 467
567

For a total of 35 combinations.

Method 2 Use a formula.
It's a rather complicated one, so only use it if you have a lot of possibilities.

$\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} = \frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} = \frac{7!}{3!*4!} = \frac{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*4*3*2*1} = \frac{7*6*5}{3*2*1}=\frac{210}6=35$

(n is the number of choices, r is the amount you choose, and ! is a function that multiplies together all numbers down to 1)
