The Venn diagram shows the results of two events resulting from rolling a number cube.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$P(A|B)=\frac{2}{3}$

$P(A)*P(B)=\frac{1}{3}$

$P(A) =\frac{2}{3}$

$P(B) =\frac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Venn diagram to calculate the desired probabilities.

Note that there are 6 possible results in the sample space

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Then note that in the region representing the intercept of A and B there are two possible values.

So

$P (A\ and\ B) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

In the region that represents event A there are 4 possible outcomes {4, 5, 1, 2}

So

$P(A) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$

In the region that represents event B there are 3 possible outcomes {1, 2, 6}

So

$P(B) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Now

$P(A | B)=\frac{P(A \ and\ B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A | B)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\P(A|B)=\frac{2}{3}$

$P(A)*P(B)=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{3}$

line AB passes through points A(-6,6) and B(12,3) if the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form

Paul [167]

Y=(-1/6)x+5
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(3-6)/(12-(-6))
m=(-3)/(18)
m=-1/6
y=mx+b
y=(-1/6)x+b
6=(-1/6)(-6)+b
6=1+b
b=5
y=(-1/6)x+5

Please Help me..<br><br>What is the value of x?

Triss [41]

In triangle ABC, angle B is 90° and angle A is 45° => triangle ABC is Isosceles triangle. That means side AB = BC

Also, side AC² = AB² + BC² = 2BC²
(6√2)² = 2BC² => 36*2
BC = 6

In triangle BCD, angle D is 90° and angle B is 60° => triangle BCD is semi Equilateral triangle. That means side BD = ½BC = 6/2 = 3 which is the value of X.

Good luck

Do I need to put parentheses in this? Why it why not?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Parentheses can change the result of the answer. If you want to add 4 and 0.95 first, then multiply that number by 3, then you need parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given the question 3 X 4 + 0.95, it has to types of operations. <u>People solve using the order PEDMAS</u>:

Parentheses,

Exponents,

Division and Multiplication,

Addition and Subtraction.

Since there are <u>no parentheses</u> or exponents, the solver will do multiplication first, then addition.

3 X 4 + 0.95 Multiply first

= 12 + 0.95 Now add

= 12.95 Answer without parentheses

If you add <u>parentheses around 4 + 0.95</u>, the answer would change. According to PEDMAS, the parentheses must be solved before anything else.

3 X (4 + 0.95) Add inside parentheses

= 3 X (4.95) Now multiply

= 14.85 Answer with parentheses

If you added <u>parentheses around 3 X 4</u>, the answer would not change, because you still multiply first.

(3 X 4) + 0.95 Solving parentheses first

= 12 + 0.95 Add

= 12.95 Answer same as original
