If A, B, and C are mutually exclusive events with P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.4, determine the following probabilities:

a. P(A ∪ B ∪ C) b. P(A ∩ B ∩ C) c. P(A ∩ B) d. P[(A ∪ B) ∩ C] e. P(A′ ∩ B′ ∩ C′)

a. The events are mutually exclusive, so

P(A\cup B\cup C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=\boxed{0.9}

b. For the same reason,

P(A\cap B\cap C)=\boxed0

Another way to see this is to use the result from part (a), and the inclusion/exclusion principle:

P(A\cap B\cap C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(A\cup B\cup C)

and the right side reduces to 0.

c. Same as (b),

P(A\cap B)=\boxed0

d. Same as (b),

P((A\cup B)\cap C)=\boxed0

We can also use the distributivity rule for unions and intersections to write

P((A\cup B)\cap C)=P((A\cap C)\cup(B\cap C))=P(A\cap C)+P(B\cap C)=0

e. If the A' is the complement of A, then by DeMorgan's law,

P(A'\cap B'\cap C')=P(A\cup B\cup C)'=1-P(A\cup B\cup C)=\boxed{0.1}

Raymond was asked to solve for the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with legs that have side lengths of 4 and 5. His
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Raymond's mistake was on the last step, since he didn't square root both sides

The correct answer should be

c = \sqrt{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\4^2 + 5^2 = c^2\\16 + 25 = c^2\\c^2 = 41\\c = \sqrt{41}

Good luck!

A box is 12 centimeters wide ,12 centimeters long, and 15 centimeters tall. What is the total surface area of 4 such boxes?
Grace [21]
First you want to find the surface area of one box
SA=2(l*w)+2(h*l)+2(h*w)
SA=2(12*12)+2(15*12)+2(15*12)
SA=2(144)+2(180)+2(180)
SA=288+360+360
SA=1008 cm² is for one box
Multiply by 4 to get for 4 boxes
4*1008=4032 cm²
