In a certain computer, the probability of a memory failure is 0.01, while the probability of a hard disk failure is 0.02. If the

probability that the memory and the hard disk fail simultaneously is 0.0014, then

Answer:

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

For this case we have that:

P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002

And we see that 0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following events:

A= In a certain computer a memory failure

B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure

We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

P(A) = 0.01 , P(B) = 0.02

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

P(A \cap B) = 0.0014

And we want to check if the two events are independent.

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

For this case we have that:

P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002

And we see that 0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

Help 50 points and brainlest only if you answer all the questions
klasskru [66]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 6(3x+4y-8)

Use the distributive property:

6*3x + 6*4y - 6*8

18x + 24y - 48

<u>So D is the correct answer</u>

b) Factor out 4 because it can fit into 12 - 3 times - and 4 - one time.

12+4x

= 4(3+x)

<u>So D is the correct answer</u>

c) When you expand both <u>C and D</u> and simplify, you get 16x+36 as solution

d) 14x+2y+10z

Factor out 2 because it can fit into 14, 7 times. 2, one time. And 10, 5 times

14x+2y+10z

= 2(7x+y+5z)

<u>So D is the correct answer again ;)</u>

Can anyone help me on the last question?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

<h2>           0.7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A' is everything what is not A

So:

    A' = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16}

Number of ways it can happen: |A'| = 7

Total number of outcomes: |Ω| = 10

Probability of an event happening:

                                         \bold{P(A')=\dfrac{|A'|}{|\Omega|}=\dfrac7{10}=0.7}

At a picnic there were 3 times as many adults as children and twice as many women as men. If there was a total of x men, women,
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{x}{4}

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a picnic,

Number of adults is 3 times as number of children.

Number of women is twice as number of men.

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

Let number of children be c

Let number of men be m

Let number of women be w

# Number of women is twice as number of men, w = 2m

# Number of adults is 3 times as number of children, w + m = 3c

      2m + m = 3c     (∴  w=2m )

                c = m

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

∵       c + m + w = x

     m + m + 2m = x

                    4m = x

Number of men, m=\dfrac{x}{4}

Hence, The total number of men will be  \dfrac{x}{4}
