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

What is absolute value
jeka94

Absolute value is the distance between a point and 0. Absolute value is always positive. When you're writing numbers in absolute value, make sure you add:

| |

The absolute value of a negative number is also positive. For example:

| -7 | = 7 ⇒The absolute value of -7 is 7.

Find the value of n, if 25.003 = (2x 10) + (5x1)+(3xn)​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

n=0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

(2\times10)+(5\times1)+(3\times n)=25.003\\\\\implies 20 + 5 + 3n = 25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25=25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25-25=25.003-25\\\\\implies 3n = 0.003\\\\\implies n=0.001

Choose all of the following scenarios below that contain biased samples.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

1 and 3 are biased

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased sample is ond where all individuals were not given equal likelihood of being selected.

Number 1;

Picking students from the cafeteria would lead to sampling bias because not every student from the school eats from the cafeteria. Those she selected can not be used to account for the whole school. Those that use the cafeteria are only a representation of the whole school and not the entire school.

For number 3:

Paul is interested in finding the mean number of cloth shoppers In a mall and is only collecting data from one clothing store without considering other stores in the mall.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\frac{p-2l}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

move the 2l to the other side by subtracting 2l on both sides. you get P - 2l = 2w. now divide both sides by 2 to get the answer.
