Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose :

62% own an HDTV

16% own a computer

Using the addition rule : suggests that (62% + 16%) = 78% either own an HDTV or a computer.

The reasoning is wrong because ; since it is possible to own both an HDTV and also own a computer at the same time, the outcome of the addition rule is wrong as both events are independent. If both event cannot occur at the same time (mutually exclusive event) , then, the addition rule may be applied,. But since both can occur independently and each family can own an HDTV while also owning a computer, then the addition rule is wrong for the scenario described.

2/10 (or 1/5) times 2/10 (or 1/5)
This will equal 1 out of 25 chance.

You take the number of items you are looking for (for example, 2 tomato cans) divided by the total items you have (all 10 cans that are a possibility.) then you take your probabilities, and multiply them.

What is t (cos (t)) = 0?
Tpy6a [65]
In radians:
To get 0, only one part of the multiplication needs to be zero for the whole thing to be zero. Thus we get 2 equations:
t=0, and cos(t)=0
for the first equation, it's pretty self-explanatory and sp we get 0 as one solution.
For the second equation, cos(pi/2) and cos(3pi/2) both equal 0 so both pi/2 and 3pi/2 are answers. Since there is no bound to this problem, the actual answer is:
(2Z+1)pi/2 and 0
(2Z+1) means all odd integers
