If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.60 and P( B) = 0.70, then P( A or B) equals: a. 1.00 b. 0.42 c. 0.88 d. 1.30

Answer:

The correct option is D

P(A or B) = 1.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two independent (or mutually exclusive) events with P(A) = 0.60, and P(B) = 0.70

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

= 0.60 + 0.70

= 1.30

This is however absurd, as the probability of an event can only be less than or equal to 1, and not less than 0.

Is the triangle with side lengths of 20 mm, 24 mm, and 36 mm a right triangle

adoni [48]

Answer:

no it's an acute triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

why? because any angle below 90 degrees is considered an acute triangle which in your case 20,24, and 36 are all very far from being a right triangle

Match each of the trigonometric expressions below with the equivalent non-trigonometric function from the following list. Enter

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, draw the right triangle which produces the inverse trig value. That is, label the two sides as needed, and calculate the third side.

It should be clear that

$tan(sin^{-1} x/4) = x/\sqrt{16-x^{2} }$

$sin(tan^{-1} x/4) = x/\sqrt{16+x^{2} }$

sin(2α) = 2 sinα cosα

So,

$1/2 sin(2sin^{-1} x/4) = (1/2)(x/4) * x/\sqrt{16-x^2} = x^{2} /(8\sqrt{16-x^2})$

See what you can do with the others.

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}$

$g(x) = 3x - 2$

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

$m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{0 - 1}$

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{- 1}$

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

$m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{- 1}$

$m = 8$

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

$g(x) = mx + b$

$m \to slope$

So:

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$m = 3$

$m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}$

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when $x = 0$

From the table of f(x)

$f(0) = -1$

From the equation of g(x)

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$g(0) = 3*0-2$

$g(0) =-2$

$f(0) > g(0)$
