<h3>Answer: PR = 24</h3>

Explanation:

OQ = 10 is the radius, and so is segment RO. Both are the same length as they are the radii of the same circle. Triangle ORP has a leg of RO = 10 and a hypotenuse of PO = 26. The unknown side is PR = x.

Use the pythagorean theorem. We can use this theorem because the tangent formed (at point R) creates a 90 degree angle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(PR)^2 + (RO)^2 = (PO)^2

x^2 + 10^2 = 26^2

x^2 + 100 = 676

x^2 = 676 - 100

x^2 = 576

x = sqrt(576) ... apply square root

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P(light OR domestic) = P(light) + P(domestic) − P(light AND domestic)

P(light OR domestic) = 0.62 + 0.70 − 0.55

P(light OR domestic) = 0.77

2. P(light AND not domestic) = P(light) − P(light AND domestic)

P(light AND not domestic) = 0.62 − 0.55

P(light AND not domestic) = 0.07

3. P(light GIVEN not domestic) = P(light AND not domestic) / P(not domestic)

P(light GIVEN not domestic) = 0.07 / (1 − 0.70)

P(light GIVEN not domestic) = 0.233

4. Two events are independent if P(A) × P(B) = P(A and B).

P(light) × P(domestic) = 0.62 × 0.70 = 0.434

P(light AND domestic) = 0.55

Therefore, the type and location are not independent.
