Answer:
Sea level is 0 meters. A cliff by the ocean is 12 meters above sea level. Around that area, the seafloor is 8 meters below sea level. How many meters is the top of the cliff to the seafloor?
How to solve:
8 below zero is -8
The expression 12 - (-8) is the same as the expression 12 + 8
12 + 8 = 20
20 meters
Answer:
<u>If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) = P (A) * P (B)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that independent events means that when one event occurs, it has no impact or influence on the probability of another event occurring. Here’s an example. Let’s say that we have two events, A and B.
Event A : it rains in Seattle
Event B : the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami
The two events are independent; if it rains in Seattle, this will have no impact on the probability that the Super Bowl match is cancelled in Miami. Raining in Seattle and the cancellation of the Super Bowl are independent events, therefore:
<u>P(A and B) = P (A) * P (B)</u>
To know what to do first in a math problem we look to order of operations... PEMDAS stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. So to begin we look for parentheses... do we have any? Why, yes, yes we do. Let's work!
(3+3) + 6 / 3 + 6 =
Add 3+3 in the parentheses. Since there is nothing else, the parentheses can go away.
6 + 6 / 3 + 6 =
Now, any exponents? Nope... Multiplication? Nope... division? Yes! Let's go!
6 + 2 + 6 =
Now all we have left is addition... Go for it!
8 + 6 = 14
Done!
