Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have 4 events A, B, C and D

With probabilities:

P(A∪B)= 5/8

P(A)= 3/8

P(C∩D)= 1/3

P(C)= 1/2

A and B are disjoint events, this means that there are no shared elements between then and their intersection is void, symbolically A∩B= ∅, in consequence, these events are mutually exclusive.

C and D are independent events, this means that the occurrence of one of them does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other one in two consecutive repetitions.

a.

i. P(A∩B)= 0

⇒ Since A and B are disjoint events, the probability of their intersection is zero.

ii. A and B are mutually exclusive events, this means that P(A∪B)= P(A)+P(B)

⇒ From this expression, you can clear the probability of b as P(B)= P(A∪B)-P(A)= 5/8-3/8= 1/4

iii. If Bc is the complementary event of B, its probability would be P(Bc)= 1 - P(B)= 1 - 1/4= 3/4. If the events A and B are mutually exclusive and disjoint, it is logical to believe that so will be the events A and Bc, so their intersection will also be void:

P(A∩Bc)= 0

vi.P(A∪Bc)= P(A) + P(Bc)= 3/8+3/4= 9/8

b.

If A and B are independent then the probability of A is equal to the probability of A given B, symbolically:

P(A)= P(A/B)

P(A/B)= \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)}= \frac{0}{1/4}= 0

P(A)= 3/8

P(A) ≠ P(A/B) ⇒ A and B are not independent.

c.

i. P(D) ⇒ Considering C and D are two independent events, then we know that P(C∩D)= P(C)*P(D)

Then you can clear the probability of D as:

P(D)= P(C∩D)/P(C)= (1/3)/(1/2)= 2/3

ii. If Dc is the complementary event of D, then its probability is P(Dc)= 1 - P(D) = 1 - 2/3= 1/3

P(C∩Dc)= P(C)*P(Dc)= (1/2)*(1/3)= 1/6

iii. Now Cc is the complementary event of C, its probability is P(Cc)= 1 - P(C)= 1 - 1/2= 1/2

P(Cc∩Dc)= P(Cc)*P(Dc)= (1/2)*(1/3)= 1/6

vi. and e.

P(C/D)= \frac{P(CnD)}{P(D)} = \frac{1/3}{2/3} = 1/2

P(C)=1/2

As you can see the P(C)=P(C/D) ⇒ This fact proves that the events C and D are independent.

d.

i. P(C∪D)= P(C) + P(D) - P(C∩D)= 1/2 + 2/3 - 1/3= 5/6

ii. P(C∪Dc)= P(C) + P(Dc) - P(C∩Dc)= 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/6= 2/3

I hope it helps!

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug into distance formula:

Points: (5, -2), (3, -4)

sqrt( ((x2 - x1)^2) + ((y2 - y1)^2))

sqrt( ((3 - 5)^2) + ((-4 + 2)^2))

sqrt( 4 + 4)

sqrt8 ≈ 2.8 OR

sqrt8 = 2√2

Solve for y.<br><br> x + y + z = 4<br><br> 4x - y - z = 1<br><br> x + z = 2
UNO [17]

Answer:

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>note:</u><u> </u><u>it</u><u> </u><u>only</u><u> </u><u>says</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>figure</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u> </u><u>y</u>

x+y+z=4

x+z+y=4

2+y=4 (since x+z=2)

y=4-2

y=2
