Answer:

They are not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E = Occurrence of 1 on first die

F = Sum of the uppermost occurrence in both die is 5

Required

Are E and F independent

First, we need to list the sample space of a roll of a die

Event\ 1 = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}

Next, we list out the sample space of F

Event\ 2 = \{2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,5,6,7,8,4,5,\

6,7,8,9,5,6,7,8,9,10,6,7,8,9,10,11,7,8,9,10,11,12\}

In (1): the sample space of E is:

E = \{1\}

So:

P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(Event\ 1)}

P(E) = \frac{1}{6}

In (2): the sample space of F is:

F = \{5,5,5,5\}

So:

P(F) = \frac{n(F)}{n(Event\ 2)}

P(F) =\frac{4}{36}

P(F) =\frac{1}{9}

For E and F to be independent:

P(E\ and\ F) = P(E) * P(F)

Substitute values for P(E) and P(F)

This gives:

P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{9}

P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54}

However, the actual value of P(E and F) is 0.

This is so because E = \{1\} and F = \{5,5,5,5\} have 0 common elements:

So:

P(E\ and\ F) = 0

Compare P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54} and P(E\ and\ F) = 0.

These values are not equal.

Hence: the two events are not independent

Determine the formula, in terms of x, that best describes the area of the plot.​
liq [111]

The area of a plot is the amount of space on the plot

The area of the plot is 2x^2 -x - 1

<h3>How to determine the area</h3>

The dimensions of the plot are given as:

Length=2x+1

Width=x-1.

The area of the plot is the product of its dimension.

So, we have:

Area = (2x + 1)(x - 1)

Expand

Area = 2x^2 - 2x + x - 1

Evaluate the like terms

Area = 2x^2 -x - 1

Hence, the area of the plot is 2x^2 -x - 1

Simplify.<br> (WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST)
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{x} }{2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalize the denominator first (keep in mind we are NOT solving this because there is no equals sign here.  We are merely simplifying.)

\frac{\sqrt{5x} }{x\sqrt{20} } *\frac{\sqrt{20} }{\sqrt{20} } =\frac{\sqrt{100x} }{20x}

Now simplify by taking the square root of 100 to get:

\frac{10\sqrt{x} }{20x}

Divide numerator and denomiator by 10 to get:

\frac{\sqrt{x} }{2x}
