Answer: No, the events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

We say any two events P and Q are mutually exclusive , if they are disjoint set such that their intersection is empty.

Given : In rolling 3 dice, we have two events

Event A: Sum divisible by 3

Event B: Sum divisible by 5

But the sum of all 3 dices can 15 and 15 is divisible by 3 and 5.

The intersection of events A and B have = {(5,5,5), (3,6,6), (6,3,6), (6,6,3),(5,4,6), (6,4,5), (4,6,5), (4,5,6), (6,5,4), (5,6,4)}

Hence, the events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Matteo is adjusting a satellite because he finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of his satelli

natka813 [3]

Answer: (1.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The shape of his satellite can be modeled by $y^2=6x$ where x and y are modeled in inches.

Now,the given equation $y^2=6x$ is a equation of parabola.

Here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

On comparing this equation with standard equation $x^2=4mx$ , we get

$4m=6\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5$

In standard equation, coordinates of focus=(m,0)

Thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(1.5,0)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -2) and (3, -5)?

Ksivusya [100]

Slope of the line is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given points are (1, -2) and (3, -5)
Step 2: Equation for slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (-5 - -2)/(3 - 1) = -3/2
