There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

ant X is always idles. Event B is that at least two plants generate electricity. P(A∩B) is 15% and probability of complement of AUB is 6%. All outcomes in event A are equally likely. Compute the Probability of the event B?

We're told that

P(A\cap B)=0.15

P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94

P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)

\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)

\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)

so that B\mid A and B^C\mid A are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)

\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}

\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

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

\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)

\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)

\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]

\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]

\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C

\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)

\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)

and substituting this into (*) gives

2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]

\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)

\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST find the value of r (-4,8), (r,12), m=4/3 (show your work pls)
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

r = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find b from y=mx=b using m=4/3 and (-4,8)

8=\frac{4}{3}(-4)+b

After solving the equation, b will equal -16/3 making the final equation be

y=\frac{4}{3} x-\frac{16}{3}

Using the equation, you can solve for r.

12=\frac{4}{3} x-\frac{16}{3}

This will bring the answer being r = 13

The 18th term of an arithmetic sequence is 49 and the first term is 15.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

49-15=34

34/17=2

For this sequence, you can write this function:

f(x)=15+2(x-1)

Check:

f(18)=15+2(18-1)

f(18)=15+2(17)

f(18)=15+34

f(18)=49

So:

f(10)=15+2(10-1)

f(10)=15+2(9)

f(10)=15+18

f(10)=33

describe how to transform (^5 square root x^7)^3 into an expression with a rational exponent. make sure you respond with complet
diamong [38]

Answer:

x^\frac{21}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression and we have to transform it into an expression with exponent.

5th root of x can be written as x^\frac{1}{5}

(\sqrt[5]{x^7})^3\\\\((x^7)^\frac{1}{5} )^3


The powers outside will be multiplied as: (x^a)^b = x^{ab}

(x^\frac{7}{5} )^3\\x^\frac{7*3}{5}\\x^\frac{21}{5}


where the exponent is \frac{21}{5} and it is a rational number by definition of rational numbers
