The standard form: Ax + By = C
y = 90 - 15x <em>add 15x to both sides</em>
<h3>15x + y = 90</h3>
Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation: First we do distributive property in the parentheses. Next we subtract both sides by 6. Lastly we divide both sides by 3. Algebraic Rules!!!
Work:
3(x+2)=15
3x+6=15
3x+6-6=15-6
3x=9
3x/3=9/3
x=3
Answers:
- (a) Independent
- (b) Dependent
- (c) Dependent
- (d) Independent
========================================================
Explanation:
If events A and B are independent, then the two following equations must both be true
- P(A | B) = P(A)
- P(B | A) = P(B)
This is because the conditional probability P(A|B) means "P(A) when B has happened". If B were to happen, then P(A) must be the same as before. In other words, event B does not affect A, and vice versa.
For part (a), we have P(B) = 1/4 and P(B|A) = 1/4 showing that P(B|A) = P(B) is true, and therefore we can say the events are independent. We don't need the info that P(A) = 1/8.
------------------------
Unlike part (a), part (b) has the answer "dependent" because P(A) = 1/8 and P(A | B) = 1/3 differ in value. Event A starts off at probability 1/8, but then event B occurring means P(A) gets increased to 1/3. The prior knowledge about B changes the chances of A. The P(B) = 1/5 is unneeded.
------------------------
If A and B were independent, then,
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
However,
P(A)*P(B) = (1/4)*(1/5) = 1/20
which is not the same as P(A and B) = 1/6. Therefore the two events are dependent.
------------------------
Refer back to part (a)
P(A) = 1/4 and P(A|B) = 1/4 are identical in value, so P(A|B) = P(A) which leads to the events being independent. Whether we know event B happened or not, it does not affect the outcome of event A. P(B) = 1/9 is unneeded.
I think it would contain 0.2915 ounces of pure gold in it. sorry if my answer isnt correct
You would have to multiply all the numbers. 4 X 3, 4 X 2, 3 X 2, the answer I got was 36.
