One satellite is scheduled to be launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and another launching is scheduled for Vandenberg Air

Force Base in California. Let A denote the event that the Vandenberg launch goes off on schedule, and let B represent the event that the Cape Canaveral launch goes off on schedule. If A and B are independent events with P(A) > P(B), P(A ∪B) = 0.626, and P(A ∩B) =0.144.
Required:
Determine the values of P(A) and P(B).

Answer:

P(A) = 0.45

P(B) = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(A) > P(B)

P(A\ u\ B) = 0.626

P(A\ n\ B) = 0.144

Required

Find P(A) and P(B)

We have that:

P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B) --- (1)

and

P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B) --- (2)

The equations become:

P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B) --- (1)

0.626 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.144

Collect like terms

P(A) + P(B) = 0.626 + 0.144

P(A) + P(B) = 0.770

Make P(A) the subject

P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B) --- (2)

0.144 = P(A) * P(B)

P(A) * P(B) = 0.144

Substitute: P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

[0.770 - P(B)] * P(B) = 0.144

Open bracket

0.770P(B) - P(B)^2 = 0.144

Represent P(B) with x

0.770x - x^2 = 0.144

Rewrite as:

x^2 - 0.770x + 0.144 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 0.45x - 0.32x + 0.144 = 0

Factorize:

x[x - 0.45] - 0.32[x - 0.45]= 0

Factor out x - 0.45

[x - 0.32][x - 0.45]= 0

Split

x - 0.32= 0 \ or\ x - 0.45= 0

Solve for x

x = 0.32\ or\ x = 0.45

Recall that:

P(B) = x

So, we have:

P(B) = 0.32 \ or \ P(B) = 0.45

Recall that:

P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

So, we have:

P(A) = 0.770 - 0.32 \ or\ P(A) =0.770 - 0.45

P(A) = 0.45 \ or\ P(A) =0.32

Since:

P(A) > P(B)

Then:

P(A) = 0.45

P(B) = 0.32

Answer:

57 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the yellow prism = front + back + right + left + top

✔️Area of the front = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the front = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the back = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the back = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the right face = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the right face = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the left face = L * W

L = 4 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the left face = 4*3 = 12 cm²

✔️Area of the top = L * W

L = 3 cm

W = 3 cm

Area of the top = 3*3 = 9 cm²

✅Total = 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 9 = 57 cm²
