A college student is taking two courses. The probability she passes the first course is 0.73. The probability she passes the sec
zhenek [66]

Answer:

b) No, it's not independent.

c) 0.02

d) 0.59

e) 0.57

f) 0.5616

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, a Venn diagram should be useful. The diagram with the information of Event 1 and Event 2 is shown below (I already added the information for the intersection but we're going to see how to get that information in the b) part of the problem)

Let's call A the event that she passes the first course, then P(A)=.73

Let's call B the event that she passes the second course, then P(B)=.66

Then P(A∪B) is the probability that she passes the first or the second course (at least one of them) is the given probability. P(A∪B)=.98

b) Is the event she passes one course independent of the event that she passes the other course?

Two events are independent when P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)

So far, we don't know P(A∩B), but we do know that for all events, the next formula is true:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

We are going to solve for P (A∩B)

.98 = .73 + .66 - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) =.73 + .66 - .98

P(A∩B) = .41

Now we will see if the formula for independent events is true

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

.41 = .73 x .66

.41 ≠.4818

Therefore, these two events are not independent.

c) The probability she does not pass either course, is 1 - the probability that she passes either one of the courses (P(A∪B) = .98)

1 - P(A∪B) = 1 - .98 = .02

d) The probability she doesn't pass both courses is 1 - the probability that she passes both of the courses P(A∩B)

1 - P(A∩B) = 1 -.41 = .59

e) The probability she passes exactly one course would be the probability that she passes either course minus the probability that she passes both courses.

P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = .98 - .41 = .57

f) Given that she passes the first course, the probability she passes the second would be a conditional probability P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

P(B|A) = .41 / .73 = .5616

The focus of a parabola is (−5,−1) and the directrix is y=−3. What is an equation of the parabola? (x+5)2=8(y+5)

Pls help this is pretty urgent
KIM [24]

Answer:

(a)  0

(b)  f(x) = g(x)

(c)  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rational function:

f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+2x+1}{x^2-1}

<u>Part (a)</u>

Factor the <u>numerator</u> and <u>denominator</u> of the given rational function:

\begin{aligned} \implies f(x) & = \dfrac{x^2+2x+1}{x^2-1} \\\\& = \dfrac{(x+1)^2}{(x+1)(x-1)}\\\\& = \dfrac{x+1}{x-1}\end{aligned}

Substitute x = -1 to find the limit:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -1}f(x)=\dfrac{-1+1}{-1-1}=\dfrac{0}{-2}=0

Therefore:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -1}f(x)=0

<u>Part (b)</u>

From part (a), we can see that the simplified function f(x) is the same as the given function g(x).  Therefore, f(x) = g(x).

<u>Part (c)</u>

As x = 1 is approached from the right side of 1, the numerator of the function is positive and approaches 2 whilst the denominator of the function is positive and gets smaller and smaller (approaching zero).  Therefore, the quotient approaches infinity.

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x)=\dfrac{\to 2^+}{\to 0^+}=\infty
