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.

A penguin walks 10 feet in 6 seconds. At this speed:
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1. 75 feet

2. 27 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If six seconds is equal  to 10 feet that means that 42 seconds is equal to 70 feet (6 X 7 = 42) It also means that 3 seconds is equal to 5 feet. (42 + 3 = 45)

2. If 6 seconds is 10 feet, then 6 X 4 is 40 feet (24) And since 5 feet is equal to   3 seconds then we get 24 + 3 = 27

Joshua’s computer loan statement said he would pay $1,244.34 in simple interest for a three-year loan at 12.4%. How much did Jos
rusak2 [61]

Answer: Josh borrowed $ 876  to buy the computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest : I = Prt

, where P = principal amount

r= rate of interest ( in decimal)

t=time (in years)

Total amount with simple interest to pay : A = P+I

⇒ A = P +Prt

⇒ A = P(1 +rt)         (i)

As per given , A = $1,244.34

r= 12.4% = 0.124

t= 3 years

Now, put these values in (i) , we get

1244.34=P(1+0.124)^3\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1244.34=P(1.124)^3\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1244.34=P(1.420034624)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{1244.34}{1.420034624}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=876.27

Hence, Josh borrowed $ 876  to buy the computer.
