If A and B are independent events and P(A) and P(B) are both greater than 1/2
1 answer:
Answer:
P(A and B) is greater than 1 is never happened ⇒ C
Step-by-step explanation:
Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event
If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events is the product of the probabilities of the both events P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)
∵ The probability of any event is less than 1
∵ P(A) < 1
∵ P(A) >
- That means P(A) is greater than half and less than 1
∴ < P(A) < 1
∵ P(B) < 1
∵ P(B) >
- That means P(B) is greater than half and less than 1
∴ < P(B) < 1
∵ P(A and B) = P(A) . P(B)
- Remember the product of any fractions less than 1 is less than 1
∴ < P(A) . P(B) < 1
- That means any expression equals to P(A) . P(B) must be greater
than and less than 1
∴ < P(A and B) < 1
∴ P(A and B) is greater than 1 is never happened

Answer:
-3, 1, 4 are the x-intercepts
Step-by-step explanation:
The remainder theorem tells you that dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) will result in a remainder that is the value of f(a). That remainder will be zero when (x-a) is a factor of f(x).
In terms of finding x-intercepts, this means we can reduce the degree of the polynomial by factoring out the factor (x-a) we found when we find a value of "a" that makes f(a) = 0.

For the given polynomial, we notice that the sum of the coefficients is zero:
1 -2 -11 +12 = 0
This means that x=1 is a zero of the polynomial, and we have found the first x-intercept point we can plot on the given number line.
Using synthetic division to find the quotient (and remainder) from division by (x-1), we see that ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x² -x -12)
We know a couple of factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4, so we suspect the quadratic factor above can be factored to give ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x -4)(x +3)
Synthetic division confirms that the remainder from division by (x -4) is zero, so x=4 is another x-intercept. The result of the synthetic division confirms that x=-3 is the remaining x-intercept.
The x-intercepts of f(x) are -3, 1, 4. These are the points you want to plot on your number line.
