Answer:

No, This is not a valid Probability Distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability [Neighbour walks with Beagle] = 20%

Probability [Neighbour walks with Golden Retriever] = 70%

Probability [Neighbour walks alone] = 30%

Disjoint Events are the events that have zero probability of occurring together. If all the three above items are disjoint, it means that it can never happen that two of them happen together.

The total (summed) probability of a valid probability distribution, with disjoint sets = 1 . In given case, total probability = 0.2 + 0.7 + 0.3 = 1.2 ; i.e > 1.

So, this probability distribution with stated disjoint events is not a Valid Probability distribution.

(-4)(-4) use an exponent to rewrite the expression
DiKsa [7]
For this case we have the following expression:
<span> (-4)(-4) &#10;
 By properties of exponents we have:
 Same basis, the exponents are added.
 We have then:
 (-4)^{1+1}
 Then, rewriting the exponent we have:
 (-4)^{2}
 Therefore, an exponent to rewrite the expression is:
 2
 Answer:
 
(-4)^{2}
 an exponent to rewrite the expression is 2.</span>
