Answer:

y = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Remember: if y and x are directly proportional, you could write a ratio with those values, as follows:

y:x becomes 22:6

You can write an equation with the new value:

y:15 = 22:6

Now solve by cross multiplication. Imagine that those ratios are fractions:

y/15 = 22/6

y*6=15*22

6y=330

y=55

The value of y is 55 when x is 15.

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No

Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ .

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}$

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)$

$P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}$

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)$

$P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2$

$\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}$
