Answer:

$for \: independent \: events : \\ P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) \\ P(AUB) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5} \\ = \frac{13}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AUB) is P(A) + P(B) because P(AnB) is zero.

$P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A{ \huge{n} }B) \\ P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) + 0$

In the lab, Debra has two solutions that contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. Solution A is 10% alcohol and Solut

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

800 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the amount of solution B added to 2400 mL of solution A. The total amount of alcohol (mL) in the mixture is ...

10%×2400 + 50%×b = 20%×(2400 +b)

multiplying by 100 to get rid of the % signs and simplifying, we have ...

24000 +50b = 48000 +20b

30b = 24000 . . . . . . . . . subtract 24000+20b

b = 800 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 30

Debra added 800 mL of 50% alcohol to her 2400 mL of 10% alcohol to make a 20% solution.

Grace has $15 in her bank account. She starts

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{1}$ or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the data provided we would create the following equation to calculate Grace's bank account using the variable x to represent the number of weeks.

f(x) = 5x + 15

The slope of a function in such a function would be the value of that is being multiplied by x. The numerator would be the numberof units it is rising in a graph while the denominator represents the number of units it is moving to the right. Since in this scenario, the number is a whole number (5) the denominator is automatically 1. Meaning that the slope is 5 units up for every 1 unit to the right.
