Answer:

event A and B are independent because  P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B) = 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

When two events are independent, the probability of both occurring is the product of their separate probabilities, as expressed below;

P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B)

Given;

P(A) =  0.25

P(B) = 0.60

P(A and B) = 0.15

Now, let's check if  P(A and B) will be equal to P(A) x P(B)

P(A) x P(B) =  0.25 x 0.60 = 0.15

P(A and B)  = P(A) x P(B), thus event A and B are independent.

The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years. If 30 grams is present now, how much will be present in 300 years?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

                                           N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

N(t) = quantity of the substance remaining

N_0 = initial quantity of the substance

t = time elapsed

t_{1/2} = half life of the substance

From the information given we know:

  • The initial quantity of silicone-32 is 30 g.
  • The time elapsed is 300 years.
  • The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years.

So, to find the quantity of silicone-32 remaining we apply the above equation

N(t)=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{300}{710}}=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{71}}\approx22.38 \:g

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

You can jog around the block twice and the park once in 10 min. You can jog around the block twice and the park 3 times in 22 mi
stich3 [128]
B = block     p = park

2b + p = 10 min                2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min        2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park                                                       takes 22 minutes

To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.

2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p

2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22

10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12

2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6

It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park

Hope this helps!

What is the complete square of y=x^2-16x+17
aliina [53]
Y = x^2 - 16x + 17
-16/2 = (-8)
(-8)^2 = 64
Add 64 and subtract 64
y = x^2 - 16x + 64 + 17 - 64
y = (x - 8)^2 - 47
