Assume that we have two events, A and B, that are mutually exclusive. Assume further that we know P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.7. If

an amount is zero, enter "0". What is P(A B)? What is P(A | B)? Is P(A | B) equal to P(A)? Are events A and B dependent or independent? A student in statistics argues that the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are really the same, and that if events are mutually exclusive they must be independent. Is this statement accurate? What general conclusion would you make about mutually exclusive and independent events given the results of this problem?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What is P(A B)?

If A and B are mutually exclusive, then  

P(AB) = P(A∩B) = P(∅) = 0

What is P(A | B)?

By definition  

<em>P(A | B) =  P(A∩B)/P(B). </em>

Since  

P(A∩B) = 0, then P(A | B) = 0

Is P(A | B) equal to P(A)?

No, because P(A | B) = 0 and P(A) = 0.3

Are events A and B dependent or independent?

A and B would be independent if

P(A | B) = P(A) and P(B | A) = P(B)

But both P(A |B) and P(B | A) equals 0 and P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.7

Hence, <em>A and B are dependent. </em>

A student in statistics argues that the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events are really the same, and that if events are mutually exclusive they must be independent. Is this statement accurate?

No, it is not.

As we already saw, A and B are mutually exclusive but they are not independent.

What general conclusion would you make about mutually exclusive and independent events given the results of this problem?

If A and B are not empty events which are mutually exclusive, they can never be independent.

If everything in a store is 20% off, and the discounted price of an item is $18.00, what is
jasenka [17]

The regular price is $22.5 if everything in a store is 20% off, and the discounted price of an item is $18.00

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

It's the ratio of two integers stated as a fraction of a hundred parts. It is a metric for comparing two sets of data, and it is expressed as a percentage using the percent symbol.

We have:

If everything in a store is 20% off, and the discounted price of an item is $18.00

Let's suppose the regular price is x

(100-20)% of x = 18

80x/100 = 18

x = $22.5

Thus, the regular price is $22.5 if everything in a store is 20% off, and the discounted price of an item is $18.00

Kayson is looking at two buildings, building A and building B, at an angle of elevation of 73' Building A is 30 feet away, and b
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Building B, it is around 16 35 feet taller than building A ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculating  the height of Building A </u>

Height = opposite ( ? )

∅ = 73°

base/adjacent  = 30 ft

∴ Height = Tan 73° * base

               = 3.2709 * 30 =  98.127 ft

<u>Calculating the height of building B </u>

∅ = 73°

base/adjacent  = 35 ft

∴ height = Tan 73° * base

              = 3.2709 * 35 = 114.4815

Therefore we can say Building B is Taller by approximately 16.35 feet

y(x+x) +3

{x= 1 , y= 3}

Putting values..

3 (1+1) +3
