Given:

Two dice are thrown.

E_1 is the event that the sum of their dots is a prime number

E_2 is the event that 5 is the dot on the top of second die.

To find:

Whether P(E_1\cap E_2)=P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2) is true or false.

Solution:

If two dice thrown, then the total possible outcomes are:

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6),

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6),

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6).

E_1 is the event that the sum of their dots is a prime number.

E_1=\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(2,1),(2,3),(2,5),(3,2),(3,4),(4,1),(4,3),(5,2),(5,6),(6,1),(6,5)\}

P(E_1)=\dfrac{15}{36}

P(E_1)=\dfrac{5}{12}

E_2 is the event that 5 is the dot on the top of second die.

E_2=\{(1,5), (2,5),(3,5),(4,5),(5,5),(6,5)\}

P(E_2)=\dfrac{6}{36}

P(E_2)=\dfrac{1}{6}

The intersection of these two events is:

E_1\cap E_2=\{(2,5),(6,5)\}

P(E_1\cap E_2)=\dfrac{2}{36}

P(E_1\cap E_2)=\dfrac{1}{18}

Now,

P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2)=\dfrac{5}{12}\cdot \dfrac{1}{6}

P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2)=\dfrac{5}{72}

P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2)\neq P(E_1\cap E_2)

Therefore, the given statement is false because P(E_1\cap E_2)\neq P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2).

The length of segment with endpoints (0,-1) and (4,7)
Art [367]

Answer:

Length = 9 units

Explanation:

Length between two points...,

Apply the following formula,

Length = square root of [(difference in x coordinates)^2 + (difference in y coordinates)^2]

Length = square root of [ (4 - 0)^2 + (7 - -1)^2 ]

Length = square root of (80)

Length = 9 units

The sum of two numbers is 79. Three
Semmy [17]

Answer:

<u>The two numbers are 23 and 56</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two numbers are A and B.

We are told:

1)  A+B=79

2) 3A+5B=283

Let's take the first expression and solve for A:

A+B=79

A=79-B

Now use this value of A in the second expression:

3A+5B=283

3(79-B)+5B=283

237-3B+5B=283

2B = 46

B = 23

Since B=23, we know from 1) that

A+B=79

A+23=79

A = 56

<u>CHECK:</u>

Does A+B=79?  

        56+23 = 79?  <u>YES</u>

Does 3A+5B=283?

3(56)+5(23)=283

168  + 115 = 283?  <u>YES</u>
