Answer:

<h3>For two events A and B show that P (A∩B) ≥ P (A)+P (B)−1.</h3>

By De morgan's law

(A\cap B)^{c}=A^{c}\cup B^{c}\\\\P((A\cap B)^{c})=P(A^{c}\cup B^{c})\leq P(A^{c})+P(B^{c}) \\\\1-P(A\cap B)\leq  P(A^{c})+P(B^{c}) \\\\1-P(A\cap B)\leq  1-P(A)+1-P(B)\\\\-P(A\cap B)\leq  1-P(A)-P(B)\\\\P(A\cap B)\geq P(A)+P(B)-1

which is Bonferroni’s inequality

<h3>Result 1: P (Ac) = 1 − P(A)</h3>

Proof

If S is universal set then

A\cup A^{c}=S\\\\P(A\cup A^{c})=P(S)\\\\P(A)+P(A^{c})=1\\\\P(A^{c})=1-P(A)

<h3>Result 2 : For any two events A and B, P (A∪B) = P (A)+P (B)−P (A∩B) and P(A) ≥ P(B)</h3>

Proof:

If S is a universal set then:

A\cup(B\cap A^{c})=(A\cup B) \cap (A\cup A^{c})\\=(A\cup B) \cap S\\A\cup(B\cap A^{c})=(A\cup B)

Which show A∪B can be expressed as union of two disjoint sets.

If A and (B∩Ac) are two disjoint sets then

P(A\cup B) =P(A) + P(B\cap A^{c})---(1)\\

B can be  expressed as:

B=B\cap(A\cup A^{c})\\

If B is intersection of two disjoint sets then

P(B)=P(B\cap(A)+P(B\cup A^{c})\\P(B\cup A^{c}=P(B)-P(B\cap A)

Then (1) becomes

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

<h3>Result 3: For any two events A and B, P(A) = P(A ∩ B) + P (A ∩ Bc)</h3>

Proof:

If A and B are two disjoint sets then

A=A\cap(B\cup B^{c})\\A=(A\cap B) \cup (A\cap B^{c})\\P(A)=P(A\cap B) + P(A\cap B^{c})\\

<h3>Result 4: If B ⊂ A, then A∩B = B. Therefore P (A)−P (B) = P (A ∩ Bc) </h3>

Proof:

If B is subset of A then all elements of B lie in A so A ∩ B =B

A =(A \cap B)\cup (A\cap B^{c}) = B \cup ( A\cap B^{c})

where A and A ∩ Bc  are disjoint.

P(A)=P(B\cup ( A\cap B^{c}))\\\\P(A)=P(B)+P( A\cap B^{c})

From axiom P(E)≥0

P( A\cap B^{c})\geq 0\\\\P(A)-P(B)=P( A\cap B^{c})\\P(A)=P(B)+P(A\cap B^{c})\geq P(B)

Therefore,

P(A)≥P(B)

Suppose x and y vary together such that y = 2 x + 11 . Suppose x varies from x = 2 to x = 8.5 .
Stells [14]

Answer:

a) x changes by 6.5 units

b) y changes by 13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Over this interval, how much does x change by?

Initially, we have that x = 2.

In the end, we have that x = 8.5.

So x changes by 8.5-2 = 6.5 units

b. Over this interval, how much does y change by?

Initially, when x = 2, we have that y = 2x + 11 = 2*2 + 11 = 15

In the end, when x = 8.5, we have that y = 2*8.5 + 11 = 28

So y changes by 28 - 15 = 13 units

Find the measure of the numbered angle formed by a secant segment and tangent.
Effectus [21]
The rule is that the angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.  So it's 110.
